Paul Bettany says one of Marvel’s most touching and heartbreaking scenes between Wanda and Vision was improvised

Two of Marvel’s most beloved and tragic characters in all of the MCU are Vision, played by Paolo Bettanyand Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen. Although Wanda has a tragic past, the two managed to find love until Vision met her death, and Wanda has struggled ever since within the story told in their series, WandaVision. We’ve seen the star-crossed lovers in many heartbreaking moments, but one scene in particular was all about improvisation between the couple.

Bettany explained in an appearance at MegaCon (via Collider), that the initial plan for Vision’s death to ultimately Avengers: Infinity War it didn’t work when the scene took place in front of the camera. So the Russo brothers had a difficult request from both Bettany and Olsen. Bettany explained:

“[Directors] The Russo Brothers approached us [Bettany and Olsen] and said, ‘Hey, listen, can you just improvise this scene?’ And I’m like, “What?” Improvise being a robot that gets killed?’ I have no frame of reference! And Lizzie was just laughing about it, and we’re so relaxed with each other that… I don’t know how it would have worked otherwise, because we both really trust each other and, somehow, we got there​ ​to something I worked on.”

I loved every scene these two did together. Their series was my favorite of the Disney+ Marvel shows and I think these two actors were absolutely in sync enough to improvise any scene they had in front of them.

It’s unclear at this point what the future in the MCU will look like for Wanda, or even Vision. But for now no plan is clear. Would you like Wanda’s story to continue? Would you like to see Vision return?
