Paul Bettany first made waves in films like A Knight’s Tale, A Beautiful Mind, Wimbledon, The Da Vinci Code, and Dogville. Bettany became a hit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for his voice role as J.A.R.V.I.S. (Tony Stark’s artificial intelligence system) in the Iron Man movies and as Vision, an android superhero, in Avengers: Age of Ultron. In 2016, he will reprise his role as Vision in Captain America: Civil War. Bettany is just among the few actors to play more than one character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview with Business Insider, Bettany said if it wasn’t for director Joss Whedon, he might not have played Vision on the big screen. “They [Marvel] have a rule that you’re not allowed to play more than one character in the Marvel universe. So, they broke the rules. They bent the rules slightly for me because Joss really wanted to bring the Vision into the film world, and he really wanted me to do it,” he said. As one of the notable English actors to date, Bettany has been bestowed several awards including Supporting Actor of the Year from the London Film Critics’ Circle for the film, A Knight’s Tale; Best actor from Evening Standard British Film Award for the Heart of Me; and Best British Actor for Wimbledon, to name a few. Meet Hollywood actor Paul Bettany in person at AsiaPOP Comicon Manila on September 19 and 20 at the World Trade Center! This will be his first-ever visit in Manila. You wouldn’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
