MCU Vision Show: Everything We Know

:0:0

Summary

After his multiple deaths and resurrections, Vision's story continues in the upcoming Vision series set for release in 2026.
White Vision, armed with the memories of the original, will play a crucial role in the MCU's Vision series, following WandaVision.
The Vision series may explore connections with Bruce Banner and possibly set the stage for the introduction of the Marvel Champions team.

Following WandaVision, a lot of details about Vision were left open-ended, but the MCU's spinoff Vision series can answer those questions. Vision was introduced to Marvel's mega-franchise in Avengers: Age of Ultron when he was created from vibranium and brought to life by the Mind Stone. He then went on to become the most powerful Avenger. The superhero formed a romantic relationship with Wanda Maximoff in Captain America: Civil War, but she ultimately had to watch him die — twice. Vision convinced Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone so that Thanos couldn't retrieve it in Avengers: Infinity War; he died again when Thanos reversed time to collect the stone.
As the Scarlet Witch, Wanda became all-powerful in the show WandaVision. She resurrected Vision when her grieving became too much, and she cast a hex over Westview's population and led a happy-go-lucky, white-picket-fence life with him and their two children. In the Disney+ series, S.W.O.R.D. created White Vision, a replica of the original. He was simply meant to be a weapon to destroy Vision and kill Wanda. Instead, he gained the real Vision's memories, stated, "I am Vision," and flew out of Westview with his newfound knowledge. While it isn't clear what happened to White Vision, the upcoming Vision series will continue the character's arc.

Vision Series Latest News

May 2024 brought new information after a considerable period of uncertainty about what was happening with the MCU Vision series. Variety revealed that Star Trek: Picard executive producer Terry Matalas will serve as the showrunner for the upcoming series, allowing the creator's sci-fi skills to translate into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the continuation of White Vision's existential journey. The report also unveiled a 2026 release date for the series, providing a tangible window for audiences to look forward to the series releasing within - and proving it will release in the Multiverse Saga.
Notably, reports for the Vision series have been without mention of its original Vision Quest title, suggesting this original moniker for the installment has been changed or let go of altogether. Given this title was first unveiled in 2022 with the initial announcement of the series, it does make sense that Marvel may wish to alter it, especially given how much has changed about creating MCU shows in the time period between the original announcement and now.
This could also suggest a new title is in the works that ties the series closer to the likes of Armor Wars or Agatha, as there are many theories circulating regarding how and when Vision may next appear in the future of the franchise, and whether the MCU will wait until 2026 to bring back the character, since this would mean further years of him being off-screen. However, nothing has been officially confirmed at this point, and the Vision Quest title may simply have been dropped in lieu of simply titling the upcoming release Vision.
Vision Series Confirmed

In total, Vision has died five times, which is just as many MCU projects that have involved the character. He died twice for real in Avengers: Infinity War, twice as a magical creation in WandaVision, and once in Marvel's What If...?, but nobody stays dead in the MCU. Another version of Vision will return in Marvel Studios' Disney+ Vision series, which has been officially confirmed (via Deadline). Though Hex Vision was destroyed when Wanda ended her spell at the end of WandaVision, the Vision series will follow White Vision, who made his debut in the previous show. WandaVision's writer and executive producer, Jac Schaeffer, is leading the production once again.
Vision Series Release Information Close The Vision series was revealed in May 2024 to be set for a 2026 release date, according to a Variety report that provided updates on the MCU installment. This is in line with previous predictions about the release, which placed it within Phase 5 or 6 of the Multiverse Saga on account of it being set to go into production in 2024. While a 2026 window is perhaps slightly later than some may have expected, this also correlates with discussions surrounding the MCU's release timeline, with executives stating that the franchise's aim going forward was to spread releases out more.
The 2026 release window also places the Vision series' release closer to Avengers 5, suggesting a closer possible connection between the two releases. Indeed, with Vision being one of the few remaining focal Avengers still alive and still seemingly operating as a superhero in the franchise, the Vision series could well serve to set the character up for a more integral role in the Avengers going forward.
Even if White Vision ends up without the heroic motivations of his original form, the multiverse-wide threats the next Avengers movies appear set to put in motion could be enough to align him with the MCU's heroes, making a 2026 series all the more pertinent. Hopefully, 2024's Agatha series will also help to bridge the WandaVision gap, ensuring audiences feel more like the Vision series is following up on a 2024 story than a 2021 story left for many years.
Vision Series Cast

The only casting for the Vision series that can be safely assumed is Paul Bettany returning as the titular superhero. That wouldn't have taken much convincing, as Bettany is always excited to return as Vision. After working on WandaVision, Bettany stated, "You never know with Marvel, whether you’re done, or not. So I don’t want to call it the end yet. This was one of the most creative experiences of my life, joyful and free, making this show." However, given that Bettany has been part of the MCU for over a decade (first as the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S.), the Vision series could be his farewell.

Though Bettany is the only certainty when it comes to Vision Quest's casting, there are tons of other actors who have been speculated to be involved. The first obvious possibility is Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda since she and Vision are so closely connected in the MCU. As the show is essentially a follow-up to WandaVision, it's likely that she will appear in some capacity, even if she did die off-screen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Other Marvel characters who could appear in the Vision series include Ultron, War Machine, and Iron Heart, but there haven't been any confirmations yet.
Vision Series Story Details

It's unlikely that the Vision series will follow the Marvel comic Vision Quest, despite the show originally having the same name. While that was one of Vision's most important stories in the comics, it has already been told in the MCU.
The comic version sees Vision being treated as a threat and dismantled by the government. His memory is wiped, and then he is weaponized. In the comics, he also learns that his children are just illusions created by Wanda. But while the story is ultimately told in WandaVision, it's a great set-up that can go in many exciting directions.
The Vision series could heavily feature Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), as the characters are closely tied together, which dates all the way back to the birth of Vision. In Avengers: Infinity War, Banner told Vision, "Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. J.A.R.V.I.S., Ultron, Tony, me, the Stone. All of them mixed together." When White Vision flies away at the end of WandaVision with his new memories, it's assumed that he's going to learn more about his existence. As Tony died and the Mind Stone and Ultron have been destroyed, the only person left for Vision to visit is Bruce.
One of the most exciting possibilities that the Vision series could explore is the young superhero team Marvel Champions. In the comics, after the events of Vision Quest, Vision flees to Virginia where he builds his own synthezoid family, and one of those family members is his daughter, Vivian, or "Viv". She becomes a part of one of the more modern Marvel teams, the Marvel Champions, which includes Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, and Nova. Kamala Khan was introduced in Ms. Marvel and Nova is also in development, so there is a strong possibility that the Vision series could be another building block for Marvel Champions.

Vision Quest Marvel Studios' Vision Quest is a limited series set in the MCU and released on Disney+. It reveals the fate of Paul Bettany's resurrected Avenger, which was last seen fleeing Westview at the end of 2021's WandaVision. After the original synthezoid died at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, his body was reassembled by the secret organization SWORD, and his consciousness was restored by Scarlet Witch's magically recreated version of the robot.
