Great- I love D'Arcy! Bet he would have made a good Captain Britain, too.

Trying to figure out why they just didn't use Paul Bettany (aka AI Jarvis) for the role.

Yeah Jarvis.

Paul Bettany hasn't really done TV since the 1999, it looks like. They might figure that he's at a point in his career where he doesn't want to do a TV serial.

For agent carter the tv series. Maybe they wanted to afford other things like sets and costumes.

You know what this means right? Jarvis might be brought back into the comics lol. Speaking of comics what ever happened to Jarvis? I remember in 2008 he was moved to Mighty Avengers as JARVIS was introduced in Invincible Iron Man and it seemed he was slowly written out of Mighty Avengers and I haven't seen him since.

Paul Bettany is probably too old for the Jarvis that they're going for as well.

I'm hoping that "Agent Carter" introduces the Whizzer and Miss America, who in later movies are revealed to be Quicksilver's and Scarlet Witch's parents.

He's already the Vision.

This human version appears to be the predecessor, and probably where Tony Stark gets a name for his A.I.

He and D'Arcy are about the same age, I think.
