Paul Bettany injured eye while filming VisionQuest spinoff series
Paul Bettany revealed he ruptured ten blood vessels in his eye during the filming of Marvel's VisionQuest on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Accident occurred during intense performance
Bettany explained that he was pretending to have a device affecting his brain while acting. He stated that he was wildly overacting when the injury happened. The actor accidentally popped ten blood vessels in his eyes during this scene.
Production adjusted for visual effects
His eye remained filled with blood for two weeks after the incident. Production teams had to remove shots showing the injury from the final version of the series. Bettany joked about the irony since his character Vision is depicted as myopic.
Series debuted on Disney platform
VisionQuest is an eight-episode spinoff of WandaVision that launched on October 14. The show marks Bettany's return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after previous roles in Iron Man and Avengers films.
