  "account": "Paul Bettany, a Marvel Studios actor, shared a humorous story of accidentally leaving his Avengers: Infinity War script on a plane. The incident occurred during a time when he was transitioning from voicing J.A.R.V.I.S. in Iron Man to playing the android Vision in the Avengers film. Bettany revealed the incident to Virgin Radio UK while promoting his upcoming Disney+ series, VisionQuest. He recounted that he discovered his mistake only after exiting the plane and entering his car. Co-star Emily Hampshire had previously joked about potentially discarding script pages for VisionQuest without realizing the severity of the situation. Bettany empathized with Hampshire's predicament and, like her, expressed concern about the potential consequences of losing such crucial material. Marvel Studios is known for its stringent measures to safeguard sensitive plot details, including secretive script reading sessions, strict social media policies, and limited set access to scripts. In this case, Bettany was fortunate to have a knowledgeable airport greeter who retrieved the script, averting a potential crisis for the actor.",
