Now that he’s seen the speculation-filled aftermath of his claims, the actor walked back those comments in a recent appearance on Good Morning America, in which he explained he was merely being cheeky when referring to Episode 9, when it was revealed S.W.O.R.D. had rebuilt Vision, making it so Bettany would be acting opposite himself, as it were.
Previously, Paul Bettany teased during an interview that WandaVision would be introducing a new character played by an actor that he really admired and had waited a long time to work with.
The MCU star was asked about the situation, and he confirmed it was a joke gone sideways and explained how the past few weeks have been for him.
