Marvel has set an October premiere for ‘VisionQuest‘, the upcoming Disney+ series which brings Paul Bettany (WandaVision) back as Vision for what is being billed as the conclusion to the WandaVision trilogy.
The new series follows on from the events of ‘WandaVision’, where Vision returned in a very different form after his death at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. The story is expected to follow Vision as he attempts to recover his memories, his identity, and, potentially, something approaching his humanity.
Marvel is describing ‘VisionQuest’ as the third part of a trilogy that began with ‘WandaVision’ and continued with ‘Agatha All Along’. That should make this one particularly interesting for anyone who has been following the slightly stranger, more magical, and emotionally messy corner of the MCU on Disney+.
Bettany revealed the premiere date during Disney’s upfront presentation, where Disney also showed a brief teaser to advertisers and media buyers. According to reports from those in attendance, the footage largely featured Bettany in his human form, with Vision watching his own memories almost like a film. When we last saw him, he was the White Vision who flew off at the end of ‘WandaVision’, having been given back Vision’s memories without actually having lived them.
That seems to be the emotional engine of the series, with Vision trying to understand his humanity while noting he does not have the emotions his original self once did. And because this is Marvel’s Vision corner of the universe, his internal processing appears to come with some very familiar, and potentially very dangerous, company.
The teaser reportedly included James Spader (The Blacklist) returning as Ultron, both as a voice and in human form, helping and taunting Vision as he works through the clutter inside his mind. The footage also briefly showed Tommy Maximoff, following the events of ‘Agatha All Along’, where his brother Billy, aka Wiccan, found Tommy’s soul a body to inhabit. Spader’s Ultron reportedly taunts Vision with the line: “it’s a boy!”
Based on the cast list, it looks like Vision will be reunited with a number of the MCU’s AI characters, many of whom are expected to appear in human form. That includes James D’Arcy (Agent Carter) as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady (Star Trek: Picard) as F.R.I.D.A.Y., Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek) as E.D.I.T.H., T’Nia Miller (The Haunting of Bly Manor) as Jocasta, Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E, and Jonathan Sayer as U.
“One of the things that’s fun about that is that we finally get to see what it’s like inside Vision’s mind, and it’s more cluttered than you would think,” teased Bettany last year. “He’s clearly been saving and copying and pasting [the AIs] to keep them alive inside his head.”
“One of them, of course, has to be kept behind a pretty impressive firewall because he’s a psychopath. But [Ultron is] a clever one.”
Alongside Bettany and Spader, the cast includes Ruaridh Mollica (The Franchise) as Tommy Maximoff, Todd Stashwick (Star Trek: Picard) as Paladin, described as a morally grey mercenary anti-hero who acts as an assassin targeting Vision’s technology, and Faran Tahir (Iron Man) reprising his role as Raza, the Ten Rings leader first seen in the original Iron Man film back in 2008.
Deadline also reports that Lauren Morais and Diane Morgan (Cunk on Earth) have joined the cast. Morais is said to be playing Lisa Molinari, a character closely connected to Mollica’s Tommy Shepherd, while Morgan is reportedly playing an associate of Stashwick’s Paladin.
‘VisionQuest‘ premieres Wednesday, 14th October 2026 on Disney+.
