It seems strange to think that the British actor Paul Bettany has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the first Iron Man movie but had never actually met any other the other cast members, until the latest movie Avengers: Age of Ultron. This is because Paul was just doing voiceover work for his role as JARVIS, something which he clearly enjoyed doing, for one reason in particular.
Paul Bettany is a very talented actor
Bettany told BANG Showbiz, "It was lovely to finally be on set with a bunch of people that I'd been supposedly working with for ten years but never actually met. It's a double-edged sword. Initially, my job was turning up at the end of the movie with the superhero power of if anything was still unclear I could clarify it by just talking and they would give me a big bag of cash!"
He then went on to add, "I couldn't imagine that the contract would ever be better than that. It was a dream, honestly. Everyone was so welcoming, a bunch of really lovely, happy, well-paid actors."
Paul Bettany plays The Vision
Now though, we finally get to see Paul Bettany appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he plays the role of The Vision in the new movie Avengers: Age of Ultron. It is great to see Paul taking on the role and we really do have high hopes for his performance in the film, and the movie itself.
There have already been a number of reviews about Avengers: Age of Ultron and it looks like the movie is not going to disappoint. There will no doubt be some people who will criticise the film but, from the early reviews, it looks like Marvel have nailed it once again.
