While we’ve seen concept art of The Vision, played by Paul Bettany in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, we finally have our first official look at the character from The Avengers’ sequel.
We’ve seen concept art of the character before, but we can definitely tell that the studio has taken design cues from actor Paul Bettany, who apparently did most of the film work with makeup and a full costume on. Surprisingly, no one got any sneak peeks of the actor on set, but these shots give us an idea of what we can expect to see on screen.
The Vision was created in the comics by Ultron, but many fans wondered whether Ultron would actually turn out to be an angry Jarvis in The Avengers sequel after Avengers animatics artist Federico D’Alessandro released some unused videos that showed he was disgruntled to find out he was becoming more intelligent than Tony Stark.
Check out the all of the official EW shots of the characters, including a shot of all of them together at the very end:
