Paul Bettany voiced J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark's AI assistant, in Iron Man but was not an enthusiastic participant in the MCU. Bettany confessed that he only signed on for the paycheck and that the work was very easy, quipping it was "money for old rope." Ironically, this "easy gig" would become his break-out role when J.A.R.V.I.S. transformed into Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron, in which his understated approach to the job sealed a permanent spot in the MCU.
