## Key points

- Mackie mentioned spending time with Paul Bettany.
- Vision has not been confirmed for *Avengers: Doomsday*.
- *VisionQuest*’s finale sets up Wanda’s return.

## Summary

Anthony Mackie’s comments have raised the possibility that Paul Bettany will appear as Vision in *Avengers: Doomsday*. Bettany has not been officially announced for the film, so Mackie’s remarks are an unconfirmed hint rather than confirmation of the casting.

Asked about working with Robert Downey Jr, Mackie said he had not fought him on set, but had spent time with several other actors, including Bettany and Simu Liu. Bettany may have been on the same lot while filming *VisionQuest*, though Mackie appeared to be describing the *Doomsday* cast. The possibility has drawn added interest because *VisionQuest*’s finale reveals Wanda Maximoff’s return, with Doctor Doom awakening her.
