@VisionOfScarlet on Twitter posted this wonderful breakdown in her feed about the instances of Paul Bettany indicating he is in Avengers 4. She mentions an interview she doesn’t have the source of, which may be this one.
Now, it is possible (as the OP mentioned) that these are older photos, and there’s also the possibility of reshoots and misdirection… but this is everything I know of so far that would indicate he is in Avengers 4. Take it to mean what you will.
I started this very last minute so I had to hurry up while it was still d-12, I think you can see it in some parts of the image… But I hope you still enjoy~
The writers have said that those dead are going to stay dead. I think probably they’re trying to to word things carefully so that what they really mean is: “Characters who are ACTUALLY dead at the end will stay dead”, and we’ll learn that the dusted Avengers are still alive, so they were never technically lying. But it did get me thinking.
So if they do really mean the dusted Avengers are for sure dead and will stay dead, while also accepting there’s no possible way they are permanently killing off Spidey, Black Panther, and Strange there’s really only one solution I can think of:
What if, in an alternate universe, the Avengers that got turned to ash in our reality are the ones that survived, and those that lived got turned to ash?
And, ultimately, the way to “fix” what happened is to merge the two realities? That would mean the “original” Avengers we knew are dead and stay dead, but we still have these characters going forward.
Hello can get a reservation for my funeral and please send the bills to Marvel Studios
Mm… I’d believe it if they hadn’t said the dusted Avengers are permanently dead too. That’s not happening. Maybe it’s like weasel words and the Avengers that come back are from an alternate reality and therefore the original versions are dead or something… But they’re coming back.
Awww, I’m sorry anon. I mean, we’re all hoping really hard he’s in it, so we’re leaping on the crumbs we can find. And IW has a lot of clickbait articles that are purposefully misleading hopeful fans about what happens in A4, which makes matters worse.
If it makes you feel better, this interview from Bettany has him outright stating he went back for filming in September–which was in Avengers 4 was being filmed. I actually forgot he was so direct about it. That could be reshoots for IW, or he could even by lying, but it’s pretty solid.
I think for both Lizzie and I, it’s the most exciting plotline for each
of us so far. I really loved making the first [Infinity War], we had a
ball doing it, and I’m going back in September to continue and it’s the
biggest production that I’ve been on…ever. It’s just huuuuuuuge.
