We've been suffering from Marvel movie fatigue for a few years, but in 2026, we get a return to the franchise's crème de la crème with Wandavision spinoff VisionQuest.

Star Paul Bettany reprises his role as Vision, picking up from where we left off at the end of Wandavision. He's got a lot of questions about his own identity and memory, and if we're lucky, there might be some subtle links to Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

But what's going to tide over our Bettany FOMO while we wait for an official release date to be announced? Introducing Amadeus, the actor's latest foray into questionable heroism that you can stream on Sky TV right now.

Granted, the concepts are a stark contrast, with Amadeus portraying the fictional rivalry between famed composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Will Sharpe) and Antonio Salieri (Bettany). But there's something obvious threading the two together: Bettany's physical transformation.

As Vision, Bettany is practically unrecognizable under all that metallic red and gray, but in Amadeus, he's aged into a 70-year-old version of himself to much the same effect.

For Bettany and co-star Gabrielle Creevy (who also gets the OAP treatment), it's the moment the new role turned from a dream into a "nightmare".

"Oh the make-up was a nightmare," Bettany tells me, making a concerned face when Creevy tells him that he "looked great".

"They did a great job.... I'm looking forward to looking like that in my older years," he continued.

Creevy added, "I was terrified every time I saw it and when they first put it on. I actually weirdly thought it was going to be really fun, but I had a weird reaction to seeing myself like that.

"I don't think I will age like that. Will I? Am I supposed to look like that at 70?"

This is all thanks to Amadeus' opening scene, which is a flash-forward of an aged Salieri and Constanze Mozart (Creevy). Salieri reveals to Constanze that he believes he was responsible for her husband's death many years before, setting the chain of events in motion for us to relive their heated rivalry.

We do see the pair revert back to their normal selves (well, as normal as you can be in Baroque styling), but there are still flash-forwards scattered few and far between throughout the series.

Yes, the pair have definitely looked better, but if you're all for Bettany looking outrageous while delivering an impeccable performance, Amadeus is the TV show for you.
