Paul Bettany will play The Vision an android hero in the superhero team sequel "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" for writer/director Joss Whedon says The Daily Mail
The sequel DOES NOT follow the Age of Ultron comics storyline--in which the big bad Ultron was created by Hank Pym who becomes Ant-Man. James Spader will both voice Ultron, and he'll have to do some kind of motion-capture as well--This news puts to rest the most popular theory suggesting that Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr,) robot butler J.A.R.V.I.S. (voiced by Paul Bettany) operating system from the Iron Man Films would turn into the villain.
In the comics, Ultron created The Vision as a weapon to be used against the Avengers. Vision, who can fire beams of radiation and turn invisible, ultimately turned the tables on Ultron and became an Avengers member himself.
Bettany was at Shepperton Studios this week meeting with Joss. Bettany was reportedly involved in "a series of costume, hair and make-up tests and worked with stuntmen and armorers".
