We haven’t seen the android Avenger known as the Vision, played by Paul Bettany, since the end of WandaVision in 2021. Now, the iconic MCU hero will return in a new series, Vision Quest, on Disney+. The details of this series are slowly coming together, with showrunner Terry Matalas opening up more about it during a convention in August 2025. He compared Vision’s journey in this series to Spock’s in Star Trek IV. This likely means that the android will have trouble connecting to his old memories. He also said that the series will bring back Ultron (James Spader) in a unique way. Consider us intrigued…
Here is everything we know about Marvel Television’s upcoming Vision Quest series.
Title
The new Disney+ MCU series is titled Vision Quest.
Vision Quest‘s Plot
We know almost nothing about the actual plot of Vision Quest, except that it will follow the life of the rebuilt Vision synthezoid from the end of WandaVision. At the end of that series, the government rebuilt “White Vision.” He then gained the memories of the Vision that Wanda Maximoff created in the Westview hex. He flew off for parts unknown, with no appearance from the character ever since. Presumably, the new series will see Vision trying to find his purpose in life. It will serve as the third part of an MCU “trilogy” that began with WandaVision, and continued with Agatha All AlongOpens in a new tab. Tom King’s 2015 Vision series may serve as inspiration, at least in part.
