“But I hated singing my own songs in front of people. “You just knew he was a star.” On the other hand, he says half-laughing, custard-coloured beanie on his head, “I’m still filled with absolute self-doubt all the time.”īettany didn’t actually set out to become an actor. “So much has been spoken about Heath’s darkness but I only saw this person who was so full of light and had this confidence in himself that was magnetic but never felt obnoxious,” he recalls, ruefully. Yet Bettany says this with so much of that jammy English charm that it’s hard to truly believe him. The actor insists that he has always lacked self-belief compared to, say, his late A Knight’s Tale co-star Heath Ledger, who possessed it in such joyful abundance. With plenty of Paul Bettany to choose from, I’m sure there’s a genre and movie which will suit your fancy.Some actors know they’re destined for great things, but Paul Bettany was never so sure. It really takes these two characters and digs into their psyches, and I can always appreciate a show that makes you learn to love a character you never really liked before. We don’t really get to know Paul Bettany’s Vision that much from the movies, or Wanda Maximoff, considering they were more like side-characters as opposed to some other Avengers, but now we really get a look into their life.Īs fans of Marvel, we start to see this whole new compassionate, different side of Vision that we had never seen before, and of course, we begin to care for this relationship, as dangerous as it might be for the state of humanity. WandaVision is all about the aftermath of Wanda Maximoff losing the love of her life, Vision, in the war against Thanos, and the destruction she's left in her path while trying to find a semblance of happiness.īut, what really makes WandaVision tick is that it expands on these two characters so well. While I know this is in the title and you’ve probably already watched it, I wanted to put it in here again because while the MCU movies might have introduced us to Vision, WandaVision actually made us care for him in a way I don’t think anyone ever did before.
