Filming is currently underway in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh for the highly anticipated sequel, Avengers: Infinity War, and set reports have slowly been making their way online. Some of the latest reports to come from filming appear to show Paul Bettany’s Vision coming under attack from some mysterious foes. Read on to find out more.
The footage doesn’t last long but you can clearly see The Vision laying on his back in the street as two actors in mocap suits armed with staffs stand over him before our hero heads off into the sky. It’s unclear whether this was the character escaping himself or whether he was actually being tossed by these other characters. You can check out the footage below.
Its speculated that these characters are in fact members of Thanos’ Black Order, specifically Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, due to the fact that both of these characters are also armed with staffs in the comics.
It is believed that these characters will be attempting to acquire the Mind Stone which is currently in The Vision’s head. Kong: Skull Island actor, Terry Notary has previous revealed that he will be doing motion capture for the film as one of Thanos’ henchmen, so it could be that he is one of the actors present.
Twitter user @richardriddell has also tweeted a close up of the henchman, speculated to be Corvus Glaive, which you can checkout below to compare.

Also interesting to note isn’t that Scarlet Witch actress, Elizabeth Olsen is also present in the city. Could Vision have tracked her down after going on the run at the end of Captain America: Civil War?

It certainly looks as though the scattered Avengers team may have more than just Thanos to contend with when Avengers: Infinity War hits theatres 4th May 2018.
