Avengers: Age Of Ultron Creating Vision Featurette Released

Marvel Entertainment has released a new featurette revealing the makeup process Paul Bettany went through in order to play The Vision in the spring blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron.

When director Joss Whedon approached Bettany with concept art of The Vision, the actor “flipped out.” While he was very enthused to play The Vision, Bettany says he didn’t even consider what the daily process would be like to transform him into the red-skinned android.

“The makeup is actually amazingly quick I think for what is accomplished. It’s about an hour-and-a-half,” Bettany explains in the featurette. “And then there is a robot-muscle suit that goes on. I wear a cooling-suit, that has piping that goes all around me and they plug it and ice water runs through it. It keeps me cool.”

One issue Bettany encountered with his costume was that there was prosthetics covering his head, making it difficult to hear. They remedied this by puncturing a few holes in it. Problem solved!

The epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron coming to 3D Digital and Digital HD on September 8 and to 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital SD and VOD on October 2!
