Avengers: Endgame almost had a post-credits scene to set up WandaVision

WandaVision Star Paul Bettany has revealed that Avengers: Endgame will originally feature a post-credits scene that would have foreshadowed the Disney + show. Speaking with co-star Elizabeth Olsen in a recent IMDb Video, Bettany, who plays Vision in the new sitcom-style series, described an abandoned Avengers: Endgame scene that allegedly teased the potential return of the overpowered android to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite the character suffering from a death on screen during the events of 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War.

“At one point there was going to be a beacon, where [Scarlet Witch] opened some sort of body bag drawer and there was the Vision, ”Bettany explained during the“ Ask Yourself Anything ”session.[Marvel Studios boss] Kevin [Feige] spoke to me and said, “I have to fire the shots.” And I was like, “Ugh!” Because I really wanted this profit sharing! “

While he didn’t make an appearance in Avengers: Endgame, the Android Avenger did emerge in the MCU’s Phase 4 opener, WandaVision, which debuted on Disney + last Friday. However, the first two episodes of the MCU sitcom focused more on setting up and introducing the high-concept ideas of the series than on the plot, which means we’re not much clearer on where. Vision return.

Whether it all happens in Wanda’s mind or the cinematic incarnation of the Scarlet Witch finds a way to change reality, we suspect it won’t end happily. With Wanda’s involvement in the Doctor Strange sequel, Multiverse of Madness, the Scarlet Witch might even end up as broken as she was for a while in the comics when the series draws to a close.
