by Elizabeth Olsen, who plays the lead in WandaVision Set, remembered the one and only occasion she ever fought with longtime co-star Paul Bettany while reflecting on earlier MCU experiences.
As Vision and Wanda Maximoff, Bettany and Olsen created one of the MCU’s most recognisable teams. They began working together in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron before directing the MCU’s first Emmy-winning project, WandaVision on Disney+.
Olsen intends to work with Bettany again in the future, even if the futures of both characters are mostly unknown. This is especially true given how WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness concluded their respective narratives.
In a look back at her time filming the MCU’s first Disney+ series, the actress, who frequently answers questions about her MCU experience, even addressed one of her and Bettany’s only bad moments.
Paul Bettany will face Elizabeth Olsen on the WandaVision set.
Veteran MCU performer Elizabath Olsen commented on the one and only actual argument she ever had with her on-screen love interest, Paul Bettany, while they were filming WandiVision in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Olsan reflected on having to kiss Betany when he was wearing his full Vision makeup while rewatching Wanda and Vision’s final scene together in Episode 9 of WandaVision, making fun of him for being “purple” and having “dots on his face:”
“I have to say that while he’s purple, while he has dots on his face, and while his last layer of make-up is glitter, and when he kisses me, it’s on my mouth. I mean, it’s just, the whole thing is a mess.”
The only time Olsen and Bettany “actually had a genuine argument” while working together was as a result of “Snotgate,” which was sparked by that scene.
The two got into their only altercation on an MCU set when Bettany’s nose started running over her during the kiss while Bettany thought it was her nose running on him
“When we were doing press for the show, we talked about ‘Snotgate,’ because this was the only time Paul and I actually had a genuine argument ever in our six years of working with each other, and it was because I said that he snotted on me and I asked his makeup artist to get him a tissue. And he said it was my snot, and he was actually mad at me! So bizarre, and it was our first fight, and it was because of this scene, because I said he snotted on me and he thought it was mine. You can’t really snot on yourself that way, but whatever.”
When Will Paul Bettany & Elizabeth Olsen Make a Comeback?
Even if hearing about a quarrel on a major Hollywood shoot is expected, hearing Elezabeth Olsen recall her sole altercation with Paul Battany highlights how strong their friendship has been over the years.
The main concern that many people have is where and when the two will be back in action under the Marvel Studios banner after co-starring in three Marvel Studios films in addition to their highly appreciated work in WandaVision.
Since Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige “doesn’t really like loose ends“ like the ones left at the end of WandaVision,” Bettany already hinted that Vision isn’t entirely finished in the MCU.
Regarding Olsen, despite the fact that Wanda seemed to meet her end in the last battle of Doctor Strange 2, Feige was very evasive when it came to stating that the character was indeed dead and will not be appearing in any more MCU productions.
Wanda’s return has previously been predicted for the upcoming Agatha: Coven of Chaos Disney+ series, while Bettany is also rumoured to be developing his own Vision Quest series.
Whatever happens, it looks like the WandaVision tale has a long way to go.
Disney+ is currently streaming WendaVision.
