Elizabeth Olsen has revealed her WandaVision co-star Paul Bettany was left fuming with her when she made an ill-timed joke about his runny nose during filming.
Elizabeth, 31, and Paul, 49, whose characters Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) and Vision enjoyed a brief and epic romance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, have reprised their roles in the new Disney+ series.
It sees the pair dropped into a 1950s suburban town and discovering they’re in a black and white sitcom and hurtling through the decades together – but Elizabeth revealed it wasn’t all plain sailing on set during a chat on Monday’s The One Show.
