A new "Avengers: Age of Ultron" video featurette has revealed how JARVIS has transformed into The Vision.
Paul Bettany played the Vision in Joss Whedon's "Avengers: Age of Ultron." In the video, it is evident that bringing The Vision to life involved a lot of motion capture technology, along with practical effects. In addition to the CG effects in Whedon's film, the video also showed Bettany wearing the red make-up for The Vision, as well as some scenes showing the actor pulled by wires above his co-stars.
Andy Serkis, who played Ulysses Klaue in Whedon's "Avengers" Age of Ultron," was also involved with The Vision's look, as per Cinema Blend. However, there are no specifics on how he was linked with JARVIS' transformation as the Vision.
Instagram user andyparkart also shared a concept art photo of The Vision. The character's face is red, similar to Whedon's iteration, and he is wearing a black suit, which is designed with thin lines. Overall, the concept art photo got more than 2,000 likes.
Meanwhile, Bettany told Comic Book that he was "annexed" with playing The Vision. The actor also mentioned that he was interested to continue playing the role, since JARVIS had been part of Marvel since "Iron Man" and it was nice to take its physical form.
After his debut in Whedon's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," The Vision is next to appear in Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's upcoming Marvel Comics film "Captain America: Civil War," which centers on the release of the superhero registration act or the "accords."
The Vision is reported to join Iron Man's pro-registration side, along with Hawkeye and War Machine. On the other hand, Ant-Man, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, and the Winter Soldier join Captain America's team.
Directed by the Russos, "Captain America: Civil War" is set to premiere in theaters in the United States on May 6, 2016. Watch the featurette here:
