The Avengers 2: Paul Bettany Is The Vision

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".

Marvel vets RDJ, Chris Evans Chris Hemsworth Scarlett Johansson Samuel L. Jackson Jeremy Renner Mark Ruffalo, Clark Gregg and Cobie Smulders are all expected back Two time Iron Man co-star Don Cheadle is involved this time out according to USA Today

Thomas Kretschmann has landed the role of 2nd bad guy Baron von Strucker. In the comics, the seemingly immortal Strucker is one of the leaders of Hydra, and an enemy of both S.H.I.E.L.D and The Avengers cc seemingly beat out rumored candidates Marton Csokas and Dougray Scott who were being considered for the BvS role. The character will have Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and her twin brother Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) apparently working for him in the sequel (American Horror Story favorite Evan Peters plays a different incarnation of the speedy superhero in Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past"--now in post-production--that film hits screens May 23rd 2014.). Korean actress  will play a bad gal role.

Radar Online has an unidentified source that claims that RDJ is campaigning to get his pals Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster a role in the movie.

Production on the 'Avengers' sequel is slated to begin in March to meet a release date of May 1, 2015. Bad Taste reports that scenes for the film will be shot in parts of northern Italy, including the Bard Fortress Scenes will shot in South Africa, and South Korea.
