Update: Lots of speculation has commenced over Vin Diesel’s mystery role, which many already believe will be The Vision. This would be consistent with an Ultron-centric story. Plus, as MTV points out, Diesel seems to know a lots about The Vision:
“I mean, there’s two Visions, for the record. And people know one was created by Ultron, one was created by Proctor, as you know, if you follow…I’m not mentioning that character, I was just saying there are eight-thousand characters and I gave an example of how one character might have two different versions!”
