A piece of concept art from Avengers: Infinity War shows off an alternate death for Paul Bettany’s Vision.
Fans will undoubtedly remember the heartbreaking scene during Avengers: Infinity War in which Scarlet Witch is forced to kill Paul Bettany’s Vision to stop Thanos from getting the Mind stone. But his death very nearly took place somewhere else in the film. Since Scarlet Witch’s powers came from the Mind Stone, she was the only person capable of killing Vision before Thanos could get to them. The scene took place in a secluded part of Wakanda away from the main battlefield. However, this new concept art shows the emotional scene taking place elsewhere.
The concept art revealed by artist John Staub shows Scarlet Witch killing Paul Bettany’s Vision in the middle of the Wakandan battlefield, surrounded by the alien army as Thanos marches towards the pair. The photo set also shows Scarlet Witch holding Thanos back using an incredible wave of power while the ships land around them. The artist explained that they explored how the scene could take place in a few different ways. Take a look at the alternate death scene for Paul Bettany’s Vision in Avengers: Infinity War below.

Scarlet Witch and Vision both appear in Avengers: Infinity War. Here is the synopsis:
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
