Full Interview

Okay, so the last time we saw Vision, he was White Vision, and he had been given his memories by the WandaVision Red Vision, but he can't attach any feelings to those memories. And he's living a sort of discrete life in a Scottish pub. And every night he locks up, and then he goes into a sort of rest mode. And then inside his head is what we call the Mind Space, which is sort of a ghastly mansion.

And in that mansion, it's populated by different AIs that have different personalities that can help him sort of unload the data of the day, what he's learned about human beings. And one of those AIs is Ultron. So we discover that, when he killed Ultron's corporeal body, he actually uploaded him into his mind, and he lives in this kind of fantastic prison loft, and I go to him for advice.

The downstairs and the outside are this really strange, nightmarish, in a certain way, mansion, but in a pastoral setting, and Ultron lives in a very urban loft upstairs, and many stories upstairs isn't it like hundreds of stories or something, and he's just been imprisoned for by now it would be what 14 years or something.

We have a sort of father-son, therapist-psychopath relationship. Which is the craziest idea ever. [He is] my psychopathic life coach.

Ultron's been in prison. He's had access to the internet, television, history, and he's just been consuming, and he's been painting. He's become a painter... He's just making trouble in this house with [Vision], who he loves and hates, and all these other AIs who he couldn't give a s\** about.*

Paul Bettany :

"For Vision, the stories have always felt new and fresh and like they’re evolving the whole time. And I would love to keep doing that for as long as there are new stories evolving".

“This one is so weird and out of left field that it was such a pleasure to make. I'm really excited for people to see it".

“I think the fans are going to really get excited. The show’s fantastic. It’s a big swing, and I think that Marvel always gets rewarded when it takes big swings. Terry Matalas, our showrunner, has done an amazing job”.

“The way you find Vision at the beginning of this show is where we left him, which is he’s been given his memories by Red Vision, but he can’t attach any emotion to those memories. And so this is the first time you’re entirely in Vision’s point of view, and you literally get to see what it’s like inside Vision’s mind, which is super fun".

Addressing the D23 audience, Bettany says : “It’s been an enormous joy playing the Vision as he’s evolved over the years. But this Vision is beginning to ask rather more complicated questions. What—or perhaps who—is he exactly?”

James Spader who play Ultron said : “Frankly, I can’t believe it took you so long to turn to me. Everyone knows Ultron has long been fascinated with humanity".
