Paul Bettany Debuts New 'The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron' Clip of The Vision

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is almost here, which means we're starting to see more and more footage of the film to hype its release on May 1. Paul Bettany, who plays Vision in the movie, has debuted a new clip that shows his character's origin.

Check out the clip below, which is part of Bettany's interview on The One Show:

In case you missed it, here are some snippets from some of the early reviews of the movie, which generally heap praise upon the film but also note the sequel's inability to outshine its 2012 predecessor.

Deadline:

"I’m happy to report the stars are all back, especially Chris Evans’ stoic Captain America, but also Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth. Also happily returning is the witty banter and interplay. And writer-director Joss Whedon has expertly ladled on lots of action, in a kind of Transformer-itis excess. But the thrill is gone. For me, it’s a been-there, done-that feeling, like watching the all-star edition of Dancing With The Stars. But does it matter if I was just a bit disappointed? I think not. Marvel and Disney have a cash cow, and nothing will keep the fans away. Much as I admire Whedon, Joe and Anthony Russo will take over the franchise’s next two installments, and I look forward to seeing what they do. Their Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a textbook example of how to take a comic-book sequel forward."

The Hollywood Reporter:

"Avengers: Age of Ultron succeeds in the top priority of creating a worthy opponent for its superheroes and giving the latter a few new things to do, but this time the action scenes don't always measure up and some of the characters are left in a kind of dramatic no-man's-land. The returning series actors acquit themselves in the expected agreeable manner, while series newcomer Andy Serkis has a terrific couple of minutes as a tough but stressed South African criminal."
