Marvel fans have reason to rejoice as reports suggest that a new Vision series is in the works for Disney+. Led by Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas, this series will continue the story of Paul Bettany‘s Vision, picking up from the events of WandaVision.
Set to premiere in 2026, the show promises to explore unresolved plotlines and delve deeper into the character’s journey.
Vision’s Return: A New Chapter in the MCU
Marvel has reportedly enlisted Terry Matalas, known for his work on Star Trek: Picard, to helm a new Vision series starring Paul Bettany. Scheduled for a 2026 release on Disney+, this untitled series aims to address the lingering questions from WandaVision.
As reported by Variety, this will be Marvel’s first new live-action series in almost two years. Although Disney has yet to comment on the reports, the news has already sparked excitement among fans.
Vision, a beloved character, was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War but made a surprising return in WandaVision. In the series, it was revealed that Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, created a spectral version of Vision using magic.
However, this Vision was not a resurrection but a magical construct. Meanwhile, S.W.O.R.D. reassembled Vision’s original body, resulting in the creation of White Vision, who had no memories of his past. With the help of Wanda’s Vision, White Vision regained his memories and then disappeared, leaving fans wondering about his fate.
A Visionary Showrunner Takes the Helm
Terry Matalas, who has an impressive track record with series like Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, and 12 Monkeys, will bring his expertise to this new Marvel project.
Matalas served as co-showrunner for Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard and the sole showrunner for its third and final season. His experience in crafting compelling sci-fi narratives makes him an ideal choice to lead the Vision series.
There have been talks about a Vision series for some time, initially under the working title Vision Quest. Originally, WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer was set to lead the series, but she is currently focused on another WandaVision spin-off, Agatha: All Along, slated for release on Disney+ on September 18.
This new Vision series appears to be part of Marvel’s scaled-back schedule for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will feature no more than three movies and two shows per year.
While fans will have to wait until 2026 for the Vision series, there is plenty to look forward to in the meantime, including the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024.
As Marvel continues to expand its universe, this new Vision series promises to be a thrilling addition, providing deeper insights into one of its most intriguing characters.
