Road To INFINITY WAR: The Vision Takes On Many Forms In This Cool AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Concept Art
The arrival of The Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was welcomed by fans but he could have looked a lot different had some of these fascinating alternate designs been approved! Check them out...
Following in the footsteps of The Avengers was never going to be an easy task but with Joss Whedon back at the helm, Avengers: Age of Ultron gave it a good try back in 2015. Introducing new heroes and a terrifying villain in the form of Ultron, the sequel brought an awful lot to the table and generated a lot of excitement among fans. While Thanos will no doubt be an even more formidable threat in Infinity War, we're now taking a look back at the movie by sharing some incredible concept art.
Today, we're putting the focus on The Vision and the many different designs Marvel went through before settling with what ended up on the big screen nearly three years ago. Since then, the character has continued to evolve and never gotten a new look; could that change in Avengers: Infinity War?
We'll have to wait and see but these pieces could provide some clues in regards to what's next for the hero! We also have some very cool alternate takes on The Vision's sentries, so be sure to click either one of the buttons below to check this list of artwork out in its entirety. Once you've done that, feel free to let us know which of them is your favourite by sounding off in the comments section.
More Robot Than Man
Paul Bettany's face can quite clearly be seen on the left (Marvel used a mixture of practical and special effects to create The Vision) but the version on the right is definitely more robot than man!
A Very Different Vision
The second Vision here looks quite a bit like the version from Young Avengers but the other is pretty much like nothing we've ever seen in the comics and would have been interesting to see on screen.
The Vision Phases
The Vision's powers are portrayed in a very interesting way on the big screen but the ghostly effects to show him phasing look a lot different here and the red glow from his eyes is particularly cool.
Marvel clearly played with a lot of different colours while designing The Vision and these yellow and green versions are sure to generate discussion. Is it better or worse than what we got, though?

As you can see, these versions of The Vision look like they've been torn straight from the screen and it was clearly at this stage Marvel decided what they wanted to do with the fan-favourite hero.
Ghost Vision
Before Avengers: Age of Ultron was released, there were rumours that The Vision we'd see would be silver. That didn't prove to be the case but it's clearly something Marvel considered at one point.
A Whole New Vision...For The Vision
Well, these are...different. While Marvel ultimately turned to the comic books for inspiration with The Vision, they clearly considered some very unique designs for the character in this movie.
Yesterday, we brought you a look at a variety of designs for Ultron but these are his sentries. Many fans argued that they looked better than the villain himself and these guys are very imposing.
These guys look quite a bit different to what ended up on screen and the focus here appears to be on the weaponry Ultron has given them to ensure they can take the fight to Earth's Mightiest Heroes!
The Sentries Take Flight
These alternate designs show Ultron's sentries taking flight with various effects added. Marvel ultimately decided to go with quite a simplistic version similar to what it looks like when Iron Man flies.
The Sentries Take Aim
Here, we see Ultron's army taking aim at The Avengers in a variety of ways. Essentially, we're seeing their arms convert into weapons and it's hard to decide which of these looks the coolest.
