We had to wait until the 11th hour to get confirmation that actor Paul Bettany (Blood) was returning to voice Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) personal Artificial Intelligence computer program called J.A.R.V.I.S. (an acronym for “Just A Rather Very Intelligent System”) in Iron Man 2, and it seems The Avengers will be no different.
Bettany recently told lfpress that he has now been hired for the part:
“This is pretty much the way it always goes, I never get the call until literally about a month or two before the movie comes out, and then they bring me in once everything else is done. I’m literally the last person hired. It’s exactly like voicing animation, except I don’t even have to sync to anything. It’s the easiest gig in the world.”
