## Summary

Paul Bettany says he burst about 10 blood vessels in one eye while overacting in a scene for Marvel’s forthcoming series, *VisionQuest*. The injury lasted two weeks, but filming continued, and Bettany said the experience taught him that “less is more”.

He described the scene as pretending to wear a device that affected his brain, and joked that the actor playing the super-sighted Vision is short-sighted himself. In the series, Vision has regained his memories but struggles to connect emotionally with them; he lives quietly in a pub in Scotland and sorts through his thoughts with the help of distinct artificial intelligences in his mind.
