Hey youtubers it's Charlie and some unfinished Avengers 2 footage was just screened in London
so I wanted to do a bonus video explaining what that was and what they're going to be
doing at comic con and some of the changes to The Vision character.
Them changing characters is a totally normal thing.
Thor is going through some big changes so it's just another day in the Marvel Universe.
Hello any new people, if you're just finding me I do Marvel videos every week.
Be sure to subscribe to get everything.
I'll even be recording the Marvel Panel at Comic Con.
It's going to be big.
So I'll just start with the footage they screened and then explain the Vision.
It was all unfinished scenes from the movie, no special effects, just raw capture that
had been edited down.
They showed of The Hulkbuster Armor, way bigger than the Igor suit we saw in Iron Man 3.
It's the customary red and gold colors.
Size wise it's about the same size as the hulk.
In the comics it always seemed way bigger than Hulk.
But Mark Ruffalo's version of the Hulk was also shrunk down from the Ang Lee version
and the Ed Norton version.
So it makes sense they wouldn't go too crazy with the Hulkbuster.
There was a bunch of Scarlet Witch Quicksilver stuff.
They were seen inside these clear Perspex Prison cells, then fighting alongside Hawkeye,
like in the images we saw from the set earlier this year.
They were also using their powers, but because the scenes didn't have special effects, Quicksilver
looked like he was jogging and Scarlet Witch was floating blocks.
There was a really good look at the new redesigned Avengers Tower.
It looks a lot like the interior of the SHIELD Helicarrier.
Bruce Banner and Tony Stark each have twin labs next to each other to make all of the
science, there's a hanger bay for the Quintjet which will be in the movie and all of the
Avengers have sleeping quarters.
I'm assuming that while everyone but Thor has a home somewhere else, they'll be bunking
in the Tower during the events of the movie.
Although it's been explained that Thor has been living on earth since the events of Dark
World.
Presumably the movie will explain why.
That doesn't sound like a ton of footage and everyone is expecting the Comic Con trailer
they're bringing to be an order of magnitude cooler.
With finished special effects.
It won't be a full on trailer, more of an extended promo reel.
I'll be doing a full breakdown of that and uploading panel footage.
That's happening Saturday night July 26th.
I probably won't be able to upload it till super late that night, but I'll be tweeting
the shit out of the panel while it's happening.
There are a few movies Marvel is not taking to comic con like Guardians of The Galaxy,
but aside from Avengers 2, the cast of Ant Man will be there and Marvel will reveal the
complete slate of Phase 3 films.
So now let's talk about The Vision.
Just like with Ultron, they're changing his backstory to fit within the Movie Canon they've
created.
Here's a quick history of him in the comics.
The Vision was created by Ultron using the remains of the Original Human Torch android.
I know everyone thinks of Johnny Storm as the Human Torch, but before him, an android
named Jim Hammond used the mantle during world war 2 to fight Hitler and the Axis powers.
That version of the character is actually one of Marvel's very first superheroes.
Ultron reprogrammed the android to fight the Avengers, that first happened in the late
60s.
Ultron programmed Vision with the neural patterns of Wonder Man so that he could infiltrate
the Avengers.
Ultron also embedded a failsafe device called a control crystal in him.
Like an override switch.
He got his name "Vision" when the Janet Van Dyne Wasp saw him for the first time when
Ultron trapped them revealing Visions true form.
Wasp called him an "unearthly, inhuman Vision".
So already you can see some changes will be made to the origin story in the movies because
we have no Wasp on the team yet.
Vision ended up sympathizing with the Avengers and helped them defeat Ultron.
I feel like some of the details of the character everyone knows, like he ended up getting married
to Scarlet Witch.
Eventually that failsafe device Ultron embedded in him malfunctioned and he went nuts trying
to make the world perfect.
He fixed the problem, but the military deemed him a huge security threat.
When Scarlet Witch lost her mind and set off the whole no more mutants house of M storyline,
the Vision was torn to pieces and stuck in storage.
Eventually they brought him back for Mighty Avengers and most recently he's been a big
part of Marvel's AI storyline.
If you remember, Mighty Avengers is rumored to be the inspiration for the story in Avengers
2.
So you should all re-read that book.
The interesting thing about his character is that he is an android, but he develops
very human connections to people, He even had romantic relationships with Scarlet Witch
and later with Cassandra Lang, she's the daughter of the Scott Lang Ant Man.
The one Paul Rudd is playing in the Ant Man movie.
So regardless of what the Avengers 2 movie does with him.
The core of his character will be this very human attachment to the Avengers by the end
of the film.
Hopefully he'll still be around in Avengers 3 and maybe show up in a few of the spinoff
movies.
What is the movie going to change about his character?
Mostly the origin story, the outcome is the same.
He becomes an Avenger.
That part won't change, but he will be based on Stark Tech created to fight Ultron.
Instead of created by Ultron to fight the Avengers.
There's a couple things that have been confirmed that support this.
Mostly that Paul Bettany has been cast as the Vision.
Not just his voice either, it will be his body in the film too, motion capture, just
like Ultron is a combination of suit and motion capture.
I am curious to see which character they let name him, whether it's Tony Stark or someone
else.
And if they keep the line from the comic or do some twist on it.
Speaking of motion capture, did you know that Andy Serkis has a role in the movie.
A motion capture role that is.
They haven't revealed who, other than to say it's not Thanos.
But if Paul Bettany is doing Vision and James Spader is Ultron.
Who could Andy Serkis be?
My thoughts are that he's got a super small part that will be a character Joss Whedon
will use to tease the next Avengers movie.
Like someone new we didn't know was going to be in the movie.
When Whedon talked about the first Avengers movie, he said that when he was just doing
initial talks to join the project before they ever shot the film.
He said they'd have to let him use Ultron at some point.
So if he was thinking Ultron before the first Avengers ever started, I'm really curious
which character he's got in his back pocket now.
In addition to the super secret part Serkis is playing, he's also a motion capture consultant
for the movie, so he helps Mark Ruffalo do a better Hulk and he'll help Paul Bettany
and James Spader with their characters too.
Josh Brolin may do a few days of work on the movie since Thanos is supposed to have a super
quick cameo again.
They shot all the Thanos stuff in Guardians before the cast him, but in future films,
they'll probably do motion capture for him too.
But let me know who you think Andy Serkis is playing in Avengers 2 and do you care that
they changed Ultron and Vision's backstories?
I'm a huge Whedon fan, so I totally don't mind whatever he wants to change, I've learned
to just trust him and roll with it.
And I'd be totally cool if Andy Serkis just played all the motion capture characters.
I wonder what that movie would look like?
So I'm going to do at least one more Marvel video before comic con, I'm doing a special
Marvel giveaway, so I'll explain how that's going to work.
I'll try to post it by next Tuesday.
Be sure to subscribe to get it.
I'll be posting a bunch of the panels next weekend, so even if you can't go you'll still
be able to see some of it.
