Many were caught off guard when trailers for Captain America: Civil War showed The Vision wearing a sweater and a bit confused by it. Well, the film’s costume designer, Judianna Makovsky sat down with Vulture to give some insight as to why the character became so stylish for the film:
“When I had the first meetings with [directors] Joe and Anthony Russo, we talked about the Vision trying to feel more comfortable at the Avengers compound and trying to fit in. What would that mean? We started out with him more in comfort clothes, like sweats, or something really casual. So we drew it, and it just didn’t look right. It didn’t go with the voice, it didn’t go with the attitude.”
Makovsky added:
“What would J.A.R.V.I.S. wear?” she said. “I thought he would be confident and elegant in his taste, almost perfect, so we decided to look into the men of the 1940s, like Cary Grant: very simple flannel trousers, elegant cashmere sweaters.” They even topped off his look with the dandiest of all affectations, an ascot: “It’s sort of hidden under his shirt, but it’s there.”
It’s definitely an interesting look.
