Last we saw of Vision and Scarlet Witch was in The Avengers: Infinity War when Thanos used the Time Stone to turn back time, revive Vision, and rip the Mind Stone out of his head, killing the android. Shortly after, Thanos would use all six Infinity Stones in unison to turn half the universe to dust, which includes Scarlet Witch, Falcon and Winter Soldier. Thanos killed Loki at the start of the movie. Infinity War ended with Captain America kneeling over the dead body of Vision.
