Essentially, the Jarvis project is like Zuckerberg's homemade version of Amazon's Alexa service or Google's Home. With the Jarvis project, Zuckerberg wanted to use his voice to control everything in his house, from the music to the lights to the temperature. He also wanted Jarvis to swing open the front gate for friends by recognizing their faces.
Zuckerberg can now talk to his AI, but it's still no Jarvis. He's one of the celebrity voices on Google's navigation app Waze.įacebook has not disclosed whether Freeman is getting paid, according to Fast Company. Of course, Freeman has other starring voice roles in the tech world. Will you do it?’" Freeman told Zuckerberg: "Yeah, sure." Zuckberg told Fast Company he called Freeman and said: "Hey, I posted this thing, and.thousands of people want you to be the voice. RELATED: Zuckerberg: The smart home faces some obstacles Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan also had some fun experimenting with an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice-powered Jarvis. His Facebook post received more than 50,000 comments, with Freeman emerging victorious. Instead, Zuckerberg asked the public to weigh in. The system that runs Zuckerberg's household, named for Tony Stark's artificial intelligence from Iron Man, had a synthesized voice like many other such systems. Robert Downey Jr., who plays Stark, volunteered to be the new voice of Jarvis under certain conditions. However, courtesy of Comic Book Movie, we now have our first look at a stunning new piece of promotional artwork featuring the new suit.Watch Video: Morgan Freeman voices Mark Zuckerberg's AI assistant, Jarvis We've already gotten a look at the new Extremis suit that the hero will wear. The actor will once again voice Jarvis in next year's Iron Man 3.įor fans, that film has the unenviable task of keeping the momentum going and kicking off Marvel's "Phase Two," culminating in the 2015 release of The Avengers 2. This is, of course, a matter of taste, and one can't help but admire Bettany's candor regarding the films. So while us fans are able to enjoy Bettany's role as Stark's computer/butler, it seems the actor has little interest in the comic book genre in general.

In fact, Bettany confessed that the studio brings him in to record his lines during post-production, describing his involvement as "robbery." Since Bettany's role is limited strictly to his voice, it's not entirely surprising to hear that he's not as active with the films' production as, say, Robert Downey Jr. I've got no idea about Iron Man - I don't get sent the whole script." They come up and I've got no idea what they're talking about. It's not because of any snobbishness, it's just not my thing. Speaking with Digital Spy, Bettany was asked about his involvement with the Marvel films.
