MCU star Paul Bettany pulled an epic prank on his hungover nephew using his iconic Vision head from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor is soon set to reprise his superhero character in the Disney+ series VisionQuest. The character was previously killed off in the universe.

Paul Bettany pranks his nephew with a ‘decapitated Vision’

Paul Bettany pulled off a fun stunt on his nephew using the bust of a Vision head. Bettany posted a photo of his prank on his hungover nephew in an Instagram post, where he also described what he was doing.

“When I’m filming Marvel films they make a bust of me so that the lighting and camera department can set up a shot without me there,” Bettany explained in the post. “I stole one (don’t tell Marvel). Here is a picture of my hungover nephew Ethan about to wake up next to a decapitated #Vision… again. Great days. Great Uncle.”

Ethan, it seems, will wake up to a decapacitated surprise that will shake his hangover clean.

Procuring such Vision busts would not be difficult for Paul Bettany, who has been a part of the MCU from its very inception. Before his appearance as a superhero, Bettany voiced Tony Stark’s (played by Robert Downey Jr.) assistant J.A.R.V.I.S.

A few films later, in Avengers: Age of Ultron, J.A.R.V.I.S acquired a physical body in the form of Vision. Bettany’s Vision remained a key character for multiple films that followed, including Avengers: Infinity War and Captain America: Civil War.

In Avengers: Infinity War, Vision was killed by Thanos (Josh Brolin). However, Vision returned in the Disney+ series WandaVision. Now, Vision is set to return for VisionQuest, which will end the WandaVision trilogy. Bettany will star as White Vision in the series, which is the weaponized copy of the original Vision.

There has been no confirmation about whether Vision will return in Avengers: Doomsday.
