Purple daddy Paul Bettany gets set to battle Ultron in Avengers sequel

AS THE voice of Iron Man’s computer programme, Jarvis, actor Paul Bettany has spent a lot time hidden away in a sound booth, only meeting his Marvel Comics co-stars on the red carpet. For the new Avengers: Age Of Ultron movie, however, he finally made it onto set.

“I used to turn up for two hours in a dark sound booth with a microphone, and leave with a bunch of cash, which was great,” says the actor.

“Now, I actually have to turn up and earn my living. The upside is you’re working with really creative, funny, interesting people, and we had a lot of fun on set.”
