Vision and Scarlet Witch's Romance Is the Heart of Avengers: Infinity War
Visions been on this quest to understand what being human is and I think Scarlet Witch [has], in a large degree, helped him figure that out and what love is, Bettany said last year on the Atlanta set of Infinity War. Then, he broke into song.
I wanna know what love is! Bettany sang, channelling Foreigner and the bands hit song of the same name. I want you to show me! added Olsen, also singing.
Its gonna be kind of a significant arc cause I got one of the stones in my head, Bettany remarked in an impressive understatement. Theres some really bad dudes who want the stone from my head and thats a problem for Vision.
Both Bettany and Olsen acknowledged that film will explore the very big question of what happens if/when Thanos takes the stone from Visions head. And on the day io9 visited the set last June, there had already been at least one attempt to do just that.
As weve discussed previously, the scene we saw filmed included several Avengers who had landed on Wakanda seeking help not just for themselves, but for Vision, who had just been attacked.
These bad guys are trying to get the stone out of my head and so Wanda and I fought them off, and then weve ended up here for surgery, Bettany said. I always get confused on how much we can talk about, like are we allowed to explain what we try and do in Shuris lab?
No, the Marvel publicist said.
No, okay. So forget that bit, Bettany said.
Regardless of what happens to the Infinity Stone in his noggin, the Vision and Scarlet Witchs love story feels like one of the keys thatll make Avengers: Infinity War either work or not. This is definitely the most emotional arc Ive done in an Avengers film, thats for sure, Olsen said.
It just feels like you have something really specific to work with all the time, Olson said of the two. That feels nice. Theres an anchor point to everything, which is what youre constantly looking for when youre doing these movies. ... You have your partner, your life partner with you by your side, and that creates a different kind of stakes, as well.
I just found out what it means to be human and now this Thanos guy, Bettany said. I think hes a real dick.
