Paul Bettany Cast As The Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron

Avengers: Age of Ultron's cast is slowly building up, as Paul Bettany has been cast to portray the group's android member, The Vision.

In case you are not the type who pays attention to movie credits, Bettany is voice of J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark's personal computer system, in all three Iron Man films and 2012's The Avengers.

The fact that Bettany will play The Vision is most likely a hint of a connection between J.A.R.V.I.S. and the android. It seems likely that Tony Stark builds The Vision and transplants J.A.R.V.I.S. into it giving him a fully body, instead of going for the comic book origin where Ultron himself built The Vision as a "synthezoid."

Also in the comics version, Vision had a romance with Scarlet Witch, who is also appearing in the sequel, played by Elisabeth Olsen.

Written and directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron is scheduled to open in May 2015.
