The Big Picture Paul Bettany is the latest to join the cast of Sky’s television series, Amadeus. Variety reports that the Marvel actor has been cast as infamous composer Antonio Salieri, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most famous rival. This casting follows news that the titular composer will be played by Will Sharpe in the limited series. The actor gained significant interest in 2022 for his role in Season 2 of The White Lotus.
This rivalry is so famous that it has been repeated throughout pop culture. Barton and Farino’s interpretation of compelling composers is inspired by the stage play penned by Peter Shaffer. The play was already adapted in the 1984 film, Amadeus, starring Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham as Mozart and Salieri, respectively. The film garnered several awards, including eight Academy Awards. The bar is high for this new endeavor, one that Bettany is excited to approach.
Paul Bettany Has the Range for ‘Amadeus’ Close In recent years, Bettany has gained appreciation for his portrayal of the kindest robot known to man. His role as Wanda Maximoff’s husband, Vision, in WandaVision was a heartfelt addition to a story about grief. But lest viewers forget, Vision's death scene in Infinity War is not his only claim to fame.
