Most Marvel Cinematic Universe followers are excited for 2026 as it is going to see two upcoming Marvel film releases within the type of Spider-Man: Model New Day and Avengers: Doomsday. Nevertheless, there may be additionally a small display screen launch that may be one thing that followers gained’t need to miss: the return of Paul Bettany as Imaginative and prescient in Imaginative and prescient Quest on Disney+.
We’ll lastly meet up with the character subsequent 12 months in a brand new collection. We don’t know loads about what the longer term holds for Imaginative and prescient within the MCU, however Paul Bettany lately joked about what he hopes the longer term holds for him: some huge cash. Showing over the weekend at L.A. Comedian Con (by way of Tribune), Bettany was requested what he personally hoped to see within the subsequent section of the MCU, the actor quipped…
An enormous paycheck
Bettany is having some enjoyable, however on the similar time, there’s in all probability greater than a little bit of honesty there. Films which are anticipated to make some huge cash are inclined to pay probably the most cash. And whereas actors might not make the cash crucial a part of any resolution when selecting the place to work, it could be foolish to fake it’s not a part of the equation.
Bettany is hardly the primary to say that one of many perks of working within the MCU is the cash. Usually getting paid loads to make blockbusters is a part of what permits many actors to afford to go on to make different movies that they could be extra keen about, however that don’t at all times pay as nicely.
The final we noticed of Imaginative and prescient within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the reconstituted all-white physique of Imaginative and prescient, with all of his reminiscences infused by Wanda’s magic, went flying off into the sky on the finish of WandaVision. Whereas we all know a couple of particulars in regards to the new present’s plot, together with that Todd Stashwick will play an murderer looking Imaginative and prescient, Bettany did reveal a number of the themes that the collection will take care of, saying…
It’s about intergenerational trauma… fathers and sons and denial of ache and denial of your individual reality and coming to phrases with who and what you’re.
It could appear a bit odd for Imaginative and prescient, a personality that was initially constructed and constructed from varied technological elements, to have a narrative about intergenerational trauma and the relationships between fathers and sons. However this description truly does give us a little bit of perception into how a key character of Imaginative and prescient Quest will match into the story.
James Spader is about to return to the MCU in Imaginative and prescient Quest, reprising his function as Ultron for the primary time since Avengers: Age of Ultron. Whereas we might not know the way that can work, since Ultron was presumed destroyed on the finish of the movie, by the hands of Imaginative and prescient himself, this does give us some rationalization as to why the character will return, as Ultron is the closest factor to a father Imaginative and prescient has.
Paul Bettany wasn’t one of many chairs that we noticed as a part of the large Avengers: Doomsday forged reveal, however expectations are Imaginative and prescient Quest will run earlier than the discharge of Doomsday, and so the 2 tales connecting are definitely attainable. If it occurs, it absolutely means extra massive paychecks for Bettany.
