Bettany learned about WandaVision right after Vision famously died (twice) in Avengers: Infinity War. In fact, he thought his time in the MCU was over. In an interview with Men's Health, he said: "I mean, the beginning of this was I got a phone call from Kevin Feige, who said 'Come down to the office. Me and Louis D'Esposito want to talk to you.' And I was like 'OK. They're going to do the decent thing, and let me down gently, but it's done.' I walked in there trying to make it easy on them, and I was like, 'Guys, It's been such a great run, thank you so much for everything.' And they were like 'What are you doing? No—we want to pitch you a TV show.' And I was like What! And, yeah. It was amazing."
