Previously we covered the news that Korean actress Kim Soo Hyun AKA Claudia Kim had joined the cast of Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron which has just began preliminary filming in South Africa, but the details of her role were and still are being kept very quite. When ScreenSlam quizzed her about her role in the ensemble sequel when she appeared at the world premiere of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Kim had this to say...
“I am a doctor/scientist who is friends with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). But I can't give you more information; my lips are sealed for now. It's very secretive.”
This has fired off speculation that Kim may be cast as Dr. Su Yin (pictured below), a supporting character whom first appeared in Iron Man issue #270 in July, 1991. The character was a brief love interest for Tony Stark, after being introduced as the worlds best neurosurgeon, whom was drafted in to prevent Stark's mind from deteriorating after the shrapnel was removed from his heart.
Additionally, Marvel's head of production Kevin Feige was pressured by Slash Film for confirmation that Legion and Priest actor Paul Bettany (whom has supplied the voice for Stark's whimsical A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. since 2008's Iron Man) will be playing the visual embodiement of his character in the form of the Vision. All Feige would say was...
“I don’t think we’ve officially said anything but other people said things.”
