Paul Bettany on reprising the role of The Vision for Captain America: Civil War

September 22, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Over the past week or so we’ve heard from both Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) and Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier) about reprising their Marvel roles for the upcoming Phase Three-launching Captain America: Civil War, and now Paul Bettany has been speaking about returning as The Vision.

“We all had a bit more fun. You know, there were more improvised jokes between me and Robert Downey Jr., and me and Chris Evans, and it was a really loose atmosphere on-set. It was one really loose set, it was great! They’re all a really nice bunch of boys and girls. They’re all happy to be there. They’re being terribly well-paid, so they should be happy to be there. And work’s really creative and fun, you know? I got to be born on camera [in Avengers: Age of Ultron], you know, that’s unlikely to ever happen again.”

Bettany also went on to discuss how he approached the role of The Vision, and what’s in store for him in Civil War: “I was given comics. I also was looking to think about what could be edifying for me to learn. I took the opportunity—you see my character get born… something unlikely to ever happen to me again. He must be both omnipotent and yet totally naive at the same time. And experiencing the world in real time and his place in it. Is he going to be a force of good or a force of evil? It was really interesting, fun to play with, because he is dangerous, you do not know if he’s going to go one way or another. And I’m continuing that theme in Captain America 3.”
