Vision actor Paul Bettany reveals one of the MCU’s most touching moments was improvised

Paul Bettany has revealed that one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the MCU was improvised by him and Elizabeth Olsen.

Bettany plays Vision in the MCU, while Olsen plays Scarlet Witch. Their tragic love story has been played out throughout the movies and in their own show WandaVision, and was full of tear-jerking moments (who can forget “What’s a complaint if love doesn’t last?”) – but, as it turns out, . , one of the most uncomfortable scenes involving Bettany and Olsen was put on the spot.

As Bettany explained in a MegaCon appearance (via Collider ), the initial plan for Vision’s death at the end of Avengers: Infinity War didn’t work out when it came to shooting. That meant some improvement was in order.

“(Directors) The Russo Brothers came to us (Bettaney and Olsen) and said, ‘Hey, listen, can you just revise this scene?’ And I go, ‘What? Improve killing a robot?’ I have no frame of reference!” Bettany shared. “And Lizzie was just laughing at it, and we’re so relaxed with each other that … I don’t know how it would work without her, because we both really trust each other and, somehow, we have something. Got it. It worked.”

At the moment, it is unclear whether Bettany or Olsen will return to the MCU. The Scarlet Witch was apparently killed at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the Vision, still dead, lives on in the White Vision, which has absorbed all of the regular Synthezoid’s memories in the final phase of Wandavision.

We have to wait and see if there are more chapters in their love story. For now, the next MCU project is Deadpool 3, which hits theaters this July 26. You can keep up to date with all the upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows via the link.
