Paul Bettany Avoids Rewatching A Knight's Tale

Paul Bettany said at L.A. Comic Con that he hasn’t rewatched his 2001 breakthrough A Knight’s Tale because he misses his late co-star Heath Ledger too much. He said the film feels “like another lifetime ago,” that fans still quote lines to him but he can’t remember them, and that there are many reasons he avoids revisiting it. Ledger, who played William Thatcher, died in January 2008 of an accidental prescription drug overdose and later received a posthumous Oscar for his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight. Bettany appeared on the Comic Con panel alongside WandaVision co‑star Elizabeth Olsen. He is set to return as Vision in Marvel Studios’ Disney+ series Vision Quest, due in 2026.
