‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Star Paul Bettany Shares Behind-The-Scenes Photo Of Vision
Actor Paul Bettany shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse from the “Avengers” set Wednesday. The photo shows him in Vision’s full costume and makeup, but the star is wearing his own glasses.
Bettany, who has been playing the superhero since 2015’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” revealed that Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo took the photo of him signing something with gold marker. They’re currently filming “Avengers 4,” formerly known as “Avengers: Infinity War — Part 2.”
“@markruffalo took this picture of me catching up on paper work,” the British actor wrote.
Unfortunately, fans won’t find spoilers in the photos. Marvel actors know better than to let any juicy details slip. Vision is rocking his usual suit and his Infinity Stone is still safely in his forehead, which is a good sign.
Thanos (Josh Brolin) is coming for the Infinity Stones in “Avengers: Infinity War.” Collecting all the rocks will give him unimaginable power, and he could destroy the whole universe. That’s why the Avengers will join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy and pretty much every Marvel movie superhero ever to take him down.
With the Mind Stone in Vision, he is definitely a target for Thanos. The Mind Stone alone allows Vision to shoot energy blasts out of it, fly and more. Even Vision isn’t sure how much power it has.
That might be why the hero goes into hiding at some point. In other set photos that surfaced in spring, Vision looks much more like Bettany. The photos showed him kissing Wanda/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), making it look like they’re hiding out together.
While we don’t know much about “Avengers: Infinity War” or its sequel, Bettany told International Business Times in July that he was thrilled with Vision’s storyline.
“My reaction was, ‘This is the best storyline for me so far,’ so that’s been fantastic,” Bettany told IBT. “I mean, each time I’ve read them, I’ve gone, ‘How are they going to do that? How are they going to make a city rise up out of a’ — it just puzzles, it’s flabbergasting...I just had no idea when I read the script how they were going to go about realizing this thing that was in black and white on paper. It’s just so mammoth. It’s huge and sprawling. Yeah, it’s enormous.”
“Avengers” isn’t Bettany’s only huge franchise. He is joining the “Star Wars” universe too. He’ll appear in the upcoming untitled film about a young Han Solo.
The project reunites Bettany with director Ron Howard, who helmed “A Beautiful Mind” and “The Da Vinci Code.” Howard announced the news on Sept. 1, which was Force Friday. “It’s my third opportunity to work with Paul. He’s a blast & so talented, the director wrote on Twitter.
The Han Solo movie is set to hit theaters shortly after the Marvel Cinematic Universe flick. “Avengers: Infinity War” will debut on May 4, 2018 while the Han Solo film will release on May 25, 2018.
Disney owns both Marvel and Lucasfilms.
