Paul Bettany has once again spoken about his messages with Johnny Depp; The messages that were released during Depp's legal case are now accompanied by calls to boycott the VisionQuest series.

Paul Bettany, who plays the role of Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, explained in a recent interview with the Times newspaper about his private messages with Johnny Depp and said that when these messages became public, he had not spoken to the actor for years. He also emphasized that he has not had any contact with Depp since then.

Bethany said in this interview that the strangest part of the story was that others introduced her as Depp's close friend, while they had not spoken to each other for years. These statements were made in the context that with the release of the VisionQuest series, the old messages of these two actors have once again been noticed on social networks.

Some users have called for a boycott of the new Marvel series and believe that Bethany's past messages should be taken into consideration in evaluating her new works. However, the extent of the impact of these requests on the audience's reception of the series is not yet clear, and Marvel has not shown an official reaction to these calls.

These messages date back to 2013 and were brought up in court in 2020 during Johnny Depp's defamation case against British newspaper The Sun. Depp sued this newspaper for publishing an article in 2018 that described him as a wife abuser; But the British court finally ruled in favor of the newspaper.

In some of the messages exchanged between Depp and Bettany, violent and inappropriate statements were made about Amber Heard, Depp's wife at the time. Depp had talked about burning Heard in one of the messages, and Bethany had written a phrase about drowning him in response. The publication of these correspondences provoked widespread reactions and criticized both actors.

Depp explained in court that his friendship with Bethany was built on a kind of dark and abstract humor that they used to cope with difficult situations. He had explained these messages in the context of the same type of joke. Depp has also denied allegations of violence against Heard.

This is not the first time Bettany has commented on her private messages with Depp. In an interview in 2021, he described the revelation of his personal messages in court as embarrassing and said that it is difficult to live in a world without considering the context and circumstances.

Bettani also explained that during the marriage of Depp and Heard, he was not in contact with Depp and as a result, he did not witness the events of that period closely. In subsequent conversations, he also criticized the fact that lawyers can subvert people's private messages and e-mails for legal investigation; According to him, this incident can be unpleasant and embarrassing for anyone.

However, her current comments have once again drawn attention to her past public support for Depp. In 2016, Bettany praised Depp on Twitter and called him one of the kindest and calmest people she knew. Critics have placed this comment alongside her new explanations about her long-term estrangement from Depp; However, these two issues alone do not necessarily show how their relationship has been in all these years.

The reflection of this story happened when Bethany appears in various interviews and programs to promote the VisionQuest series. Released on October 14, 2026 on Disney Plus, the series continues Vision's story after the events of WandaVision and is the final part of the trilogy that began with that series and continued with Agatha All Along.

The different reactions to the series and the requests of some users to boycott it have brought the discussion of Bethany's past back to the media. Currently, it is not clear how much this controversy will affect the performance of the series; But Bethany seems to prefer to focus once again on the role of Vision and the story of VisionQuest.
