Hold onto your vibranium, folks! Marvel’s Vision is, at long last, making a return, and it’s about time! The new series, still untitled, will star the one and only Paul Bettany. Premiering in 2026, this show promises to dive deep into the life of Vision post-WandaVision. With Terry Matalas from Star Trek: Picard at the helm, we’re in for a mind-bending ride. Let’s break it down, shall we?
Paul Bettany, the British actor who brought Vision to life, is back in action. Bettany’s portrayal of Vision has spanned across three Marvel films and the groundbreaking series WandaVision. Before that, he voiced J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark’s trusty AI in the Iron Man films. Bettany’s return as Vision is like seeing an old friend come back, but this time with a new twist.
What’s the Buzz About the New Series?
Marvel’s latest brainchild is set to explore Vision’s journey post-WandaVision. Remember how the character ended up? His physical body was reanimated, rocking an all-white look, but without his previous memories. By the end of WandaVision, his memories were restored thanks to the spectral Vision Wanda conjured up. This new series will pick up from there, diving into Vision’s quest to rediscover himself and his purpose.
This series isn’t Marvel’s first spinoff from WandaVision. Before Vision graces our screens again, we’ll get to see Agatha All Along. Kathryn Hahn reprises her role as Agatha Harkness, the witchy neighbor who stole the show in WandaVision. Set to premiere in September, Agatha All Along will keep us entertained while we wait for Vision’s grand return.
Terry Matalas: The Man with the Vision
Terry Matalas, the showrunner for the new Vision series, is no stranger to sci-fi. He’s fresh off the third season of Star Trek: Picard and has a rich history with shows like 12 Monkeys and the MacGyver reboot. With Matalas at the helm, we can expect a series that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. Matalas has a knack for blending complex storylines with compelling characters, so Vision is in good hands.
Marvel fans, rejoice! Disney+ is serving up a buffet of new content. Besides Vision and Agatha All Along, we’ve got Daredevil: Born Again and Ironheart coming next year. If animation’s your thing, keep an eye out for Eyes of Wakanda and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. And for those who like their heroes a bit darker, Marvel Noir starring Nicolas Cage will be hitting Amazon’s Prime Video.
Why Vision Deserves the Spotlight
Vision’s journey has been one of the most compelling arcs in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From his creation by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner in Avengers: Age of Ultron to his heartbreaking end in Avengers: Infinity War, and his resurrection in WandaVision, Vision’s story is a rollercoaster of emotion and intrigue. This new series promises to delve into his identity, his past, and his future.
A Brief History of Vision
Vision first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1968, created by writer Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema. An android with the power to manipulate his density, Vision was originally built by the villain Ultron to destroy the Avengers. However, Vision turned against his creator and joined the Avengers, becoming one of the team’s most loyal members. Over the decades, Vision’s storylines have explored themes of identity, humanity, and love, especially his iconic relationship with Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch.
