Vision Series with Paul Bettany Set for 2026 Disney+ Premiere
– Terry Matalas has been chosen as showrunner for a new Vision series on Disney+, set after the events of WandaVision and starring Paul Bettany, slated for release in 2026.
– The untitled Vision series will be Marvel’s first new live-action show in nearly two years, aiming to address unanswered questions from WandaVision, following “White Vision” who regained his memories and disappeared.
The realm of Marvel continues to expand as they embrace the future of storytelling through their Disney+ platform, with the introduction of a newly envisioned show centered on the beloved character Vision, portrayed by Paul Bettany. The announcement of Terry Matalas, acclaimed showrunner of “Star Trek: Picard,” to pilot this upcoming series has been met with anticipation by Marvel fans eagerly awaiting the post-“WandaVision” narrative.
Variety has shed light on this development, indicating that the upcoming Vision series is poised to be the first new live-action series from Marvel in nearly two years, sparking excitement for a continuation of the story threads left dangling at the conclusion of “WandaVision.” Despite attempts to obtain comments, Disney has remained tight-lipped, leaving fans to speculate on the direction of the storyline.
For those needing a brief recap, Vision’s tragic expiration at the hands of Thanos in “Avengers: Infinity War” did not spell the end for the character. “WandaVision” revealed that Elizabeth Olsen’s character, Wanda Maximoff, had conjured an apparition of her beloved Vision using her formidable magical abilities. This phantasmal version coexisted with a reanimated “White Vision,” reconstructed by S.W.O.R.D. with the help of Chaos Magic. The resurrection resulted in a being devoid of Vision’s previous memories until they were restored through an encounter with the spectral Vision. This leads to White Vision’s departure, an event that has left fans questioning his fate.
Matalas, with his extensive experience starting from “Star Trek: Voyager” and leading up to becoming the showrunner for “12 Monkeys,” brings a seasoned perspective to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). His diverse background has cultivated expectations for a rich and intricate continuation of Vision’s journey.
Speculation about a Vision-centric series has been circulating for some time, coined as “Vision Quest” in early discussions. Originally, WandaVision’s own Jac Schaeffer was expected to take the helm, but her current involvement with the Agatha Harkness spin-off “Agatha All Along” slated for a September 2026 release has paved the way for Matalas to step in.
The upcoming Vision series aligns with Marvel’s newly announced curtailed programming slate, which constricts the output to a maximum of three films and two series annually. This refined approach to storytelling aims to ensure quality and an engaging coherence in the expansive MCU narrative web.
While the anticipated Vision series remains some years away, fans of Marvel’s distinctive blend of action, drama, and humor can look forward to “Deadpool & Wolverine,” with its release imminent within the next year. The excitement for what Marvel has in store on both the big and small screen is palpable and continues to illustrate the evergreen appeal of these stories.
The altar of Marvel Cinematic Universe offerings continues to draw a fervent congregation, yearning for the revelations, escapades, and emotional weight that characters like Vision bring to the fold. With the baton passed to a new narrative architect, Terry Matalas, the horizon gleams with potential for both fans and the franchise alike. As enthusiasts of the genre eagerly anticipate the new Vision series, there is a collective sense that a memorably gripping experience is being crafted to captivate and resonate once it graces screens in 2026.
