While it appears that the two stars’ paths haven’t crossed much in their years in the limelight, Will, 32, has previously voiced a dislike of Azealia.
The controversial artist’s career has become overshadowed by her many feuds and violent outbursts – even using racial slurs against Zayn Malik and homophobic slurs on a Delta flight attendant.
Prior to deleting his account in 2019, Will reportedly took to Twitter in 2016 to write: ‘We don’t want Donald Trump over here and we don’t want Azealia Banks. Proud to be British’.
He is said to have then tweeted again the next day: ‘Incredible @AZEALIABANKS thinks people in the UK are most mad at her for her comments about the rap scene. IT’S BECAUSE OF YOUR RACIST COMMENTS!’
The BAFTA-winning star previously opened up on the internet response to his physical transformation, after he bulked up to play superhero Adam Warlock in the Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3.
The role required Will to add a lot of muscle to his naturally slight frame – a process that was rigorous and demanding for the actor.
The star has credited co-star Chris Pratt for helping him to get into shape for the movie by offering workout advice but added he ‘wouldn’t recommend anyone do what I did to get ready for that job.’

But Will admitted he doesn’t consider himself ‘conventionally attractive’ as he opened up on not being able to avoid scrutiny of his appearance in the film industry (pictured in July)
But in a 2023 interview with GQ Hype, Will admitted he doesn’t consider himself ‘conventionally attractive’ as he opened up on not being able to avoid scrutiny of his appearance in the film industry.
He explained: ‘It was weird when people started to debate my physical appearance online as to whether it was deemed attractive or unattractive.
‘I am very comfortable and secure in the knowledge that I’m not conventionally attractive as I’ve always had remarks about looking unusual – whether it’s my eyebrows or whatever else, people have made a thing of that.
‘I think it just speaks to a wider issue, of: why are we discussing or spending so much time discussing people’s physical appearance?
‘Especially in the case of women. But whether you’re male or female, why is that the focus so much? Unfortunately, social media has created this problematic idea that everyone’s opinion on everything matters equally.’
