Paul Bettany Talks About The Scale of AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

One of the characters we haven't seen much of in any of the trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron is The Vision, played by Paul Bettany. We've gotten tiny glimpses in concept art and stuff like that, but we've yet to really see him in action.

That hasn't changed just yet (maybe in the next trailer?), but Bettany spoke with Radio Times (via ComingSoon) about the sheer scale of Joss Whedon's sequel, how the cast reacted to seeing the Comic-Con footage for the first time, and more.

"I’ve never been on a bigger set on my entire life than in The Avengers [Age of Ultron]. One [part] seemed to be the corner of a town, with helicopter cameras, and drone cameras flying about. I just haven’t seen anything that big, so it was like being a kid on a film set again.

"This is the biggest thing Marvel have ever done. It was enormous. I remember, we were at Comic-Con, and they showed a portion of the footage, and I was just gobsmacked. And I looked down the row and every one of the Avengers was the same.

"Including Samuel Jackson – and his whole modus operandi is ‘I’ve seen everything before, I’m the most chilled out, relaxed man and I’ve seen everything…’ and he was as knocked out as anyone. It’s huge."

Jackson's been there from the beginning (and so has Bettany, actually, as the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S.), so if they're impressed, I have a feeling this sequel is going to live up to the tremendous amount of hype it's receiving. Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1st.
