By The Avengers: Age of Ultron is about a year and some change away from release. As that glorious day inches ever closer, you should get ready for more and more leaks.
Like this one right here! Comic Book Therapy has a source inside the Age of Ultron costume department, and that source has the details on some late concepts for The Vision’s costume.
It has a helmet akin to the Iron Man armor, but it’s designed more like a face than a smooth Stark helmet. The iconic yellow and green are present in the design, but it’s more metallic shades than bright ‘comic book colors.’ They said it reminds them somewhat of the T-1000 from Terminator 2 but it’s not as shiny. The yellow metal “liquid” bits seem to light up. This may or may not happen since there are two designs for that section. One lights up the other doesn’t. That’s the only difference. The cape is present, but they say it appears to only “pop out” when in flight mode. The cape sports some similar shades of yellow as the body. The “neck pieces” are the same yellow but they seem to shift positions from “standing” (for lack of a better word) to “flight mode.”
I still can’t totally get behind the “neck pieces,” that’s a little too comic book-y for me, but the rest of this sounds just fine. They’re definitely pushing the Iron Man aspect, which leads me to believe Whedon might be going for some kind of familial theme here. Maybe have Vision and Ultron be “siblings,” draw a couple parallels to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, and there’s your emotional center.
But we’ll have to see! The Avengers: Age of Ultron begins filming today, so expect the leaks to come hot & heavy for the next couple months!
