'Captain America: Civil War' Cast, Trailer & Release Date: Is The Vision Good or Bad? Paul Bettany Teases Filipino Fans at Asia Pop Comic-Con
Paul Bettany's The Vision is all the rage in Manila especially after the actor visited the Philippine capital during the Asia Pop Comic-Con to promote his upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film "Captain America: Civil War."
According to the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP), Bettany answered a couple of questions from the Filipino press regarding his character's debut in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" after playing Tony Stark's artificially intelligent assistant Jarvis.
"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," he explained to PEP.
He also talked about how he prepared to reprise the role in the MCU phase three films "Captain America: Civil War."
"I was given comics. I also was looking to think about what could be edifying for me to learn," he explained.
Back in August, a leaked promo art revealed that The Vision was confirmed to be joining Team Iron Man against Team Captain America based on.
The Vision is also expected to engage in battle against Team Cap's Falcon at some point based on how the character was positioned in the promo art.
Now, Bettany is teasing fans on whether or not his character would be on the side of good or evil or maybe a little bit of both much like what was shown during his appearance in the previous "Avengers" film.
"Is he going to be a force of good or a force of evil? It was really interesting, fun to play with because he's dangerous, you don't know if he's going to go one way or another. I'm continuing that theme in 'Captain America 3'," he explained.
According to Yahoo News, this is something that should be taken into consideration simply because the character's power exceeds even that of the A-team's leading heroes including Iron Man, Captain America and even Thor.
This, says the outlet, is because The Vision is in possession of an Infinity Gem adorning his forehead too.
With that said, the outlet further described The Vision to be the in same league as that of Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Thanos who wields the powerful Infinity Gauntlet.
The Vision's involvement in the "Civil War" also means a mismatch particularly if he would be facing the Ant-Man as well as the highly-skilled human members of Captain Steve Rogers' group such as Hawkeye and Falcon.
