The series has received immense critical acclaim, with praise mostly directed towards the strong writing, thematic ambitions, entertaining plot, and performances by the cast. The series features Elizabeth Olsen in the role of Wanda Maximoff, whilst Paul Bettany stars as Vision. Olsen and Bettany are the heart and soul of the series and they've been phenomenal throughout.
Elizabeth Olsen's other notable acting credits include Wind River, Godzilla, the Avengers flicks, Ingrid Goes West, and many more. Paul Bettany, on the other hand, is best known for his performances in the Russell Crowe starrer A Beautiful Mind, Lars von Trier's critically acclaimed Dogville, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, to name a few.
