Well, bless some enterprising fans at this past weekend’s MegaCon in Orlando for asking something. Paul Bettany just answered a pretty big and burning fan question. Will we see the return of Avenger Vision? Is he actually…done-done? “Can you tell us anything, in any way shape or form, will Vision return?
