Vision: Every Paul Bettany Marvel movie and show ranked worst to best

1. Avengers: Infinity War

At the start of Avengers: Infinity War, most of the Avengers are separated due to the events of Civil War. When we first see Vison in the movie, he’s staying in Scotland with Wanda, the pair now officially in a romantic relationship.

While on a walk in the city, they’re attacked by Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight, two members of Thanos’ Black Order who came to collect the Mind Stone from Vision’s forehead. Wanda struggles to fend them off and protect an injured Vision before being rescued by Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon.

After returning to the Avengers compound for the first time in years and being filled in by Bruce about Thanos, they decide to take Vision to Wakanda to protect him and see if Shuri can remove the mind stone from his forehead and fix him.

As a result, the final stand against Thanos’ army takes place in Wakanda, with the Avengers defending the Country’s borders from Ourtriders. Although Wanda stays by Vision’s side most of the time while Shuri operates on him, she gets called to the battlefield, leaving them both unguarded and open to an attack from Corvus Glaive, interrupting the stone removal process.

Vision, still injured, battles Glaive but is once again helped by Captain America, who distracts the villain long enough for Vision to get the upper hand, stabbing and killing Glaive with his own spear. Moments later, Thanos arrives and starts taking on all of the Avengers with his nearly-full gauntlet.

Realizing that the team wouldn’t be able to stop him, Vision instructs Wanda to use her powers to shatter the stone, which would kill him in the process. She refuses at first, but after some convincing, she does it. Unfortunately, Thanos uses the time stone to reverse and undo the destruction, forcefully plucking the stone from Vision’s forehead and killing him again anyway.

Although Vision gets taken out of commission pretty early, Bettany still has a decent amount to do in the film. The emotional work between him and Elizabeth Olsen in their final scene is one of the film’s best and most emotionally heavy scenes. It perfectly captures the development of Vision as an individual and them as a couple.
