Paul Bettany Teases Epic Scope of 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron'

Paul Bettany will go from the voice of JARVIS to portraying the Vision in The Avengers: Age of Ultron later this year. In a recent interview, the actor teased the epic scope of the film.

"I've never been on a bigger set on my entire life than in The Avengers {Age of Ultron], the actor told RadioTimes. "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."

"This is the biggest thing Marvel have ever done," he continued. "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."

But how does Bettany feel about actually getting to don a costume this time? "I love doing it," he said. "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."

RadioTimes also asked what it's like for Bettany to consider a permanent association with The Vision. "I hadn't really thought about it," he replied. "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."
