Paul Bettany Possibly Confirms…

… he will be in Avengers 4.

INTERVIEWER: All we know about you in Avengers: Infinity War is that you’re in it. I know that you can’t say much more than that, as far as details about the film go, but what was it like to be a part of a movie that quite possibly has the biggest cast of characters of any film, ever? Did it feel that way when you were making it?

BETTANY: Yes, it really did. It felt like the biggest movie that I’ve ever made and will ever make, and we’ve still got to make the [next] one.

My only real problem with ScarletVision is the age gap between Paul and Lizzie, if Vision was played by an actor closer to her age, I’d probably ship it wholeheartedly

I talked a bit about that here, and here.

Like I said in those, it’s a valid criticism and shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand, and I understand it making the ship too uncomfortable for you. It doesn’t concern me personally because:

1. As Vision, Bettany’s age is more an incident than anything. He was hired to voice JARVIS, and the plan wasn’t that he’d one day play Vision. That just kind of ended up working out, especially since Vision is touched up with CG head-to-toe.
2. While they could have cast Olsen older, Wanda starting off as a young woman is a very consistent–one might say integral–part of her character. I don’t think it would be worth it to go a very different direction with her very first depiction on screen just to make her a bit closer to Bettany’s age, especially since Whedon, Olsen, and Bettany have all said they didn’t know if the romance would end up panning out.
3. The character of Vision doesn’t have a quantifiable age, so there’s no realistically measurable age difference between the characters of Wanda and Vision.

But that’s just the way I see it. I don’t think you should make yourself try to enjoy what makes you uncomfortable, and you’re always free to enjoy some campy Silver & Bronze Age Wanda/Vision from the comics.

I want Wanda and Vision to be like in the comics because I want to see the critics pointing out how abusive this couple is. It will be a fun ride!

I encourage anyone to think critically of the media they consume.

There is no A- or B-list comic book character more than 5 years old that doesn’t have something that many people will find off-putting. There’s no ongoing comic book more than 10 years old that hasn’t gone through rough, perhaps even distasteful, stages.

For some, that might make it difficult to enjoy the medium. I really understand. I’ve gone through years where I drop some of my favorite stories and characters because they’re being handled in a way that makes me unhappy. In order for me to enjoy them again I have to make a conscious decision to accept how they were written but decide it won’t define the character to me. Every comic book fan does.

So for me, I don’t find Wanda and Vision’s relationship (roughly 1970-2002) in the comics abusive. On rare occasions it could be uncomfortable, but it was consistently written positively in my opinion. Post 2002 there are many moments I do not like that arise from both of them. I made a decision to accept this and not let those moments ruin the enjoyment of what I liked.

As for wanting the MCU couple to play out in a way you determine is abusive–if their comic book relationship makes you this angry, and eager for the negative cultural impact of seeing one of the biggest movie events of all time glorify abuse, you should step back. Being invested in hate over a comic book relationship isn’t worth it.

Vision has penis?

Ah, a timeless question.

He has sex. Vision and all of his other love interests (that last more than a few issues) have had sex.

Since Vision has been through a few different bodies, it’s hard to say. He is male identifying and is sexual; he has the capacity to create for himself a different body if he feels the one he has does not suit his image of himself. So the answer is “likely yes, but even if he doesn’t he still is sexual and has sex and his love interests are okay with that”.

If you mean MCU Vision, he was not born with one, but if he can give himself hair and make a perfect replica of a wool coat out of his own skin he can have as many dicks as he likes.

scarletheartvision:

I’ve been talking a lot with my boyfriend about Infinity War, Avengers 4 and the future of MCU. My biggest worry is Vision, of course. He is my favorite character and it is in front line of Thanos. So I’m going to prepare my heart for his death, because of the stone and the fact he is not a main character.
But I still have hope. So tell me if I’m crazy or not.

The Vision’s death is too predictable.

Everyone that knows a little about it or paid attention to Marvel films, knows that Thanos wants the stones and Vision has one. People will go to the movies waiting his death, thinking he ir already dead. I’m saying this based in my interaction in facebook groups. It is pratically unanimous, they do believe Vision will die. 

Joe Russo practically confessed that it will have some death. But I do not think it will be Vision’s death. Because is too predictable. The public know that he is the most probably to die, so why they are going to do something people are waiting for? To kill who we think will die is to give more of the same. 

Infinity War comes to change our perspective of heroes movies, to surprise us, to be unique and different. So yes, I think they will take another route and kill somebody else, because kill Vision is to follow the comfort zone. And I don’t believe this is what Marvel is looking for. 

I believe that Clint and Nebula are going to die in this first movie. Because Marvel will not escape of a death. But I don’t know, I have no idea about what to expect from this movie. I just hope my favorite character can live and find his happiness after the war. (and make some twins)

I’ve had the same thought. It’s an idea that’s kind of hard to justify to myself because I know I really want him to live so the bias is there… but I can’t help but feel that’s a valid point.

The Russos have mentioned wanting to walk the line between giving fans the moments they’re expecting and excited for while not being predictable.

I don’t think I know of a single theory more prevalent than “Vision dies”, yet that moment isn’t exactly something that fans want (except the bloodthirsty ones that want to see Thanos pulp everyone).

The Russos included Crossbones for misdirection to fans who thought that would mean Cap dies (since Crossbones killed him in the comics CW event), yet refused to kill anyone off in Civil War because they wanted the stakes to lie elsewhere. They know exactly what fans are thinking and they’ve shown they don’t want to play directly into the fan theories.

And if I can sort of toss my pet theory out there–I suspect if they both live, Wanda and Vision will become too powerful to stay in the MCU proper and I’ve always felt it’s a total cop-out (if an understandable one) to depower characters after major events to use them again. A good middle ground might be (with some considerable tweaks) for Vision and Wanda to ascend to another level and become the MCU versions of Master Order and Lord (Lady?) Chaos.
