The Avengers are going to need all the help they can get in their upcoming war against Thanos and the Vision is going to be an absolutely key warrior in the battle, especially considering he's undoubtedly one of the strongest forces of good in the current Avengers lineup.
Thanks to a user on Reddit, we have our first look at Paul Bettany on set, in Old Town, Edinburgh, and suited up in full costume & makeup as the Vision. We also catch a look at a hard-to-identify female character that looks a lot like she might be Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow.
Rumors have been circulating over the past week that Johansson might be filming scenes with Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and possibly Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) at some point on Wednesday, but nothing had been confirmed until this point. It's unclear what the three or four Avengers have gathered for, but another Reddit user theorizes that it's possible Natasha has been hiding out in the foreign land and Iron Man & Vision have arrived to retrieve her.

Plus, an interesting set video also surfaced earlier this week, featuring a brief look at a stunt rehearsal. It's too dark to determine which female character might be coming under attack, but it seems to be a stunt double for the Black Widow. Check out the brief clip below:

How big of a threat does Thanos pose, you ask? Big enough to span two epic films, beginning with Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War Part 1” on May 4, 2018, and concluding in Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War Part 2” on May 3, 2019 for one massive cinematic event.
“We’ve always had a plan since Nick Fury broke into Tony Stark’s house and told him he’s part of a bigger universe," recalled Feige. "'Avengers: Infinity War Part 1' is the beginning of the culmination of everything that has come before."
