Captain America Civil War: Paul Bettany On Vision's Love and Logic Dilemma

Paul Bettany has been discussing his Marvel superhero The Vision and how the character will develop over the course of next year’s ‘Captain America: Civil War’.

The English actor has also been discussing working on the film, it’s political themes and working alongside directors Joe and Anthony Russo.

“What I love about my character is that there are so many places for him to go,” he told Collider. "I think he’s very interested in what it means to be human and what love is.

"The only way one can guarantee one’s loyalty is love. Loyalty is beyond logic, really. Logic doesn’t really provide for loyalty. If your logic changes suddenly and things not make sense, you can alter your allegiance, but love stops you from being able to do that.”

His comments could be referencing a big-screen romance blossoming between The Vision and Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch. The seeds were certainly sown in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and the pair have a history of hooking up in the comics.

Speaking of 'Civil War’ more generally, Bettany said: “It’s going to be a lot of fun. I think it’s really interesting, the way that a huge, epic superhero extravaganza is discussing a really interesting question, which is about people unilaterally going into other people’s countries and their intervention there.

“It’s actually an interesting thing to talk about in a massive forum like that.”

As we already know, the catalyst for 'Civil War’s plot occurs during an operation which sees the new-look Avengers tackling bad guys in Africa. From there the issue of superhero accountability leads to a war of ideologies between Chris Evans’ Captain America and Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man.

Of course, the war won’t be just ideological for long.

Speaking of directors Anthony and Joe Russo - who will return to direct 'Avengers: Infintiy War’ parts 1 and 2 - Bettany says: “The really great thing with a cast that big is that you have two directors. You can always get one of them to have a chat with about what’s coming up next, and that’s great. I’m really excited to see what they do with what we shot.”

'Captain America: Civil War’ will be released on 29 April 2016.
