Paul Bettany

The WandaVision actor says that MCU overlord Kevin Feige "doesn't really allow loose ends." By Clark Collis April 21, 2022 at 12:00 PM EDT.

I think what was so titillating about it for people at the time [was] that suddenly the dirty laundry of these unassailable aristocratic creatures was out in public for everybody to see." Bettany plays a very different role to Vision in A Very British Scandal, which details the acrimonious divorce between the Duke and Duchess of Argyll (portrayed by Bettany and Claire Foy) in the early '60s. The actor describes his character as "a real no-goodnik. "And Kevin Feige (president of Marvel Studios) is a man who doesn't really allow loose ends.

Back on the stand for the 3rd day, the Pirates star struggled under cross examination as his history of substance use & threats to about his ex were heard ...

“They have always been a medicine for me, a numbing agent,” Depp reiterated on Thursday of his use of various substances. While the op-ed never mentioned Depp by name, as Rottenborn made a repeated point of in his initial cross examination on Wednesday, the actor proclaimed that the article cost the one-time blockbuster cost actor big bucks roles, a return to the Pirates franchise and “devastated” his career. “I’ll smack the ugly c*nt around before I let her in,” another 2014 text from Depp to a friend read. The actor bristled over low key lawyer Rottenoborn’s description of him being “in a blackout” for portions of a private jet flight from Boston to LA where Depp and Heard fought over Franco. Laying a very obvious foundation to counter Depp and his team’s assertion of the actor’s behavior during the relationship with Heard, Rottenborn also read out a May 30, 2014 text to Bettany that seemed to give credence to Heard’s accusations of abuse and her ex-husband’s consumption levels. That remark didn’t seem to impress the jury and other onlookers, many of whom are self-declared Depp fans. Much more subdued than in the highly charged closing minutes of Wednesday’s testimony, a black-suited Depp was asked at length about his abusive childhood and his aspirations to meet the standards of a “Southern gentleman,” as defense attorney Ben Rottenborn termed it. “I don’t feel like I am wasting anyone’s time, sir,” the actor piped up on one occasion as Rottenborn tried to cut short a long-winded reply. A 2014 attempt at Depp detoxing saw the actor take a much less flamboyant and aggressive approach to his text. Brooks took the litigious Depp to LA Superior Court in July 2018 and the case is still winding its way through the judicial process. As more photographs and texts messages were displayed in court, Depp sought again to stress his intake wasn’t about enjoyment, but trying to handle the blast radius from his dysfunctional childhood and cinematic workload. Subsequently, the lawyer read out testimony from Depp’s failed 2020 UK libel case against The Sun tabloid where the actor had said “I was abusing alcohol for sure” during the end of the Paradis relationship.

WandaVision star Paul Bettany believes he may return to the role of The Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point.

That's not the one that she said goodbye to on a hill in Wakanda. That's the body and the data. WandaVision will lead into Multiverse of Madness, with Olsen noting the movie wouldn't make sense without it. "That's not the man that she had children with. Bettany also discussed his own plans for the character of White Vision, saying he has "thoughts about what would be great to do," but opted not to risk spoiling them by revealing what they were. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bettany initially joked about not reprising the role "for any kind of money at all" when asked about Vision before answering the question more seriously. "He's not [Wanda's] guy," she explained.

Heard's lawyer focused on a 2013 text exchange between Depp and the actor Paul Bettany in which Depp said: “Let's burn Amber!!!”

He had also previously testified that he drank only a glass of Champagne as he boarded the plane. The texts were sent during a period in which Depp said he had stopped drinking. Heard’s lawyers argue that Depp can’t deny what happened because he was often drunk and high on drugs to the point of blacking out.

In a text message to Paul Bettany read aloud in court, Johnny Depp discussed killing Amber Heard, writing 'drown her before we burn her'

Depp denied the claims, and the former couple settled their divorce out of court in August 2016. In March 2021, his attempt to overturn the decision was overruled. "Amber did suffer sexual violence at the hands of Depp. ... You will hear in the most graphic and horrifying terms about the violence that she suffered. Bettany has previously expressed that it was "embarrassing" to have his texts made public when they were used in the U.K. libel case Depp brought against The Sun, which he lost. She will get on the stand and she will tell you that. When discussing the headline used for the online version of Heard's op-ed, the attorney explained that she did not write that headline herself or get to approve it. About the headline, "tragically, it's true," Rottenborn told the courtroom. Heard has not yet taken the stand in this court case. Depp originally filed the $50 million lawsuit in March 2019. Actress Evan Rachel Wood first opened up in 2016 about being sexually assaulted by a "significant other" and subsequently testified in support of multiple pieces of legislation that protect survivors of sexual assault. Texts from June 2013 showed the two joking about how to murder Heard, with Depp writing, "Let's drown her before we burn her!!! Paul Bettany is a good friend, yes."

With over a decades' worth of film and television projects behind it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become the gold standard for first-rate franchising ...

At the moment, though, Kevin Feige and the Marvel Studios creative team are keeping their universe fresh and energized by flooding the gates with new heroes, including the likes of "Black Widow" breakout Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), new Hawkeye Kate Bishop (Hailee Stienfeld), and Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac) having already made their debuts. Whatever the case, we'll just be happy to have Bettany back, either way. Bettany continued, "And Kevin Feige is a man who doesn't really allow loose ends.

Paul Bettany teases the possibility of his return to the MCU franchise as Vision, explaining that Kevin Feige would not leave his arc on loose ends.

For now, it remains a matter of when the audience will see Vision again on screen. Therefore, it still leaves the possibility open for him to return in Doctor Strange 2 or even Disney+’s forthcoming Armor Wars. No, the honest answer to that is — well maybe it's not the honest answer, but it's the answer I'm going to give you and you'll just have to cope with it — at the end of WandaVision, you see Vision fly off and that's a loose end," he says. Therefore, Bettany says he believes that Vision may return soon, though he claims to be unsure of when that may be. In an interview with EW, Bettany responds to whether he will return to the MCU to portray Vision again. In WandaVision, Wanda manipulated reality to bring back Vision using chaos magic, while S.W.O.R.D had resurrected the original body of Vision to utilize him as a living weapon, known as White Vision.

Paul Bettany teased his Marvel return during a recent interview. The WandaVision star talked to Entertainment Weekly about the possibility of putting the ...

"And, again, I said I was going to be entirely honest with you ... Am I in Doctor Strange? Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no. "No, the honest answer to that is — well maybe it's not the honest answer, but it's the answer I'm going to give you and you'll just have to cope with it — at the end of WandaVision, you see Vision fly off and that's a loose end. But, Bettany was in a joking mood again when the question came up. So, it stands to reason that the Vision actor will be back in the fold at some point. The WandaVision star talked to Entertainment Weekly about the possibility of putting the Vision makeup back on in the near future. (There's probably an amount of money that could get just about any "retired" MCU actor back in the saddle again.) But, more relatively, the actor says that his ending in WandaVision constitutes a "loose end."

Paul Bettany has been dragged into Johnny Depp's trial against Amber Heard since the two men are friends who have done drugs together.

"Can you imagine what it would be like, honestly, to have a bunch of lawyers go through every one of your emails and texts for 10 years?" "All I can tell you is that it was an unpleasant feeling." Aside from being dragged into the Alice in Wonderland actor's scandal, the English star hasn't spurred many negative headlines. Lets be CERTAIN before we pronounce her a witch." Paul Bettany is a good friend, yes." They've each denied it, though the Aquaman actress insists he wouldn't remember since he abused drugs and alcohol.

The court was shown text exchanges between Bettany and Depp, including one in which the two actors once joked about killing Heard.

All I can tell you is that it was an unpleasant feeling." While Depp was not named in the article, his lawyers argue that Heard's implication is obvious. Paul wrote back: "I'm not sure we should burn Amber. She is delightful company and pleasing on the eye. He's not a good man if he's bringing up sexual violence." Bettany previously said he was "embarrassed" to have his texts made public, telling The Times earlier this year: "I knew him before. We could of course do the English course of action and perform a drowning test.
