There's a lot of mystery surrounding The Vision's role in Avengers: Age of Ultron, as we still don't know exactly how J.A.R.V.I.S. will be transformed into the popular comic book character. We do however know that Paul Bettany will be playing him, and he had nothing but good things to say about the sequel in a recent interview with RadioTimes.com. "I’ve never been on a bigger set on my entire life than in The Avengers {Age of Ultron]. One [part] seemed to be the corner of a town, with helicopter cameras, and drone cameras flying about. I just haven’t seen anything that big, so it was like being a kid on a film set again." The actor would go on to emphasise just how big the movie is, adding: "This is the biggest thing Marvel have ever done. It was enormous. I remember, we were at Comic-con, and they showed a portion of the footage, and I was just gobsmacked. And I looked down the row and every one of the Avengers was the same."
 
In the past, Bettany has said a number of times just how easy his role in the Iron Man movies was, as he was only required to spend a few hours in a booth recording lines of dialogue at the end of production. How does he feel about having to suit up alongside the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes now then? "I love doing it. It’s really nice to have a balance in all this. To go from a movie I was making where we couldn’t afford two cameras, to a movie where there’s helicopters with cameras in. It was a lot of fun. I’ve been to Comic-con like 5 times, and I went this last time as part of the Avengers, and it was… just nuts. It was crazy, Those fans go CRAZY. And that was strange." Bettany is set to find a new level of fame by playing a superhero of course, and he had this to say about what it's like considering the prospect of forever being associated with The Vision. "I hadn’t really thought about it. I’m feeling quite daunted now that you’ve said it. I look really different in real life. I’m red and android in the film. So I don’t know, hopefully that’ll help."

@MarkJulian, @NateBest,

It looks like @Josh Wilding has beaten me to the punch. I suppose my rewritten version would have been pulled down anyway to make room for this one. It's all good. I keep looking for another scoop.

Cheers

Why couldn't they record the lines at the same time to help Robert?
That's stupid filmmaking.

Thank you @Schmoopy

You think you have no life, I'm the guy who wrote it twice and then got scooped by one of the Webmasters of this whole site! But it's okay. I will keep at it and I will improve and I will make it.

Cheers

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw that Chris's article was posted 6 hours ago.

Could've sworn on CBM that if someone posts an article before someone else, it gets to stay up...

I hope you guys realise I have no idea what any of you are on about. I deleted a really terrible version of this article by a random user about eight hours ago and another never went up so I wrote my own. What's the problem exactly?

@Celotom

Basically Josh is one of the guys who runs this site and his articles get priority over anyone else. So if you ever come across a story about a big name movie, t.v. show, actor, or whatever don't even think of posting it because Josh's article will be the one posted on the main page.

And come on Josh, you'd think with the rap you've got on this site you wouldn't do something that would give the people who hate you even MORE ammo. Be a team player man.

This was his second try (now gone of course) somebody else must have removed it (in defense of Josh, did look more copy and paste because of different fonts, etc.)
