VisionQuest is set to conclude the Marvel story that began with WandaVision and continued in Agatha All Along.
Below, I’ve compiled the biggest and latest information on the Disney+ show trilogy capper, including its confirmed cast, possible plot details, and my release date prediction. Here, then, is everything we know so far about the Vision-starring production.
VisionQuest release date prediction

VisionQuest doesn’t have an official release date yet, but it’ll land on Disney+ sometime next year.
It’s a project that’s been in development for some time. Reports first emerged in May 2024 that Marvel was making a second WandaVision spin-off – the first, Agatha All Along, debuted last September. Filming took place between March and July 2025, so the series’ post-production phase is well underway at this point.
As for when it might arrive, a late 2026 release window seems like a safe bet. Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will drop next January and March, respectively, while X-Men 97 season 2 is penciled in for a mid-2026 launch. In my view, that means VisionQuest won’t be *ahem* seen until next September.
VisionQuest trailer: is there one?
Nope. The first footage was shown at NYCC 2025, but hasn’t been released to the public.
Nonetheless, I expect Marvel to drop a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2026 or at next year’s D23 Expo in August. Once one is released, I’ll update this section.
VisionQuest cast: confirmed and rumored
Major spoilers follow for WandaVision and Avengers: Infinity War. Possible spoilers also follow for VisionQuest.
Here’s the show’s confirmed cast so far:
- Paul Bettany as White Vision
- James Spader as Ultron
- James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S
- Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y
- Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H
- Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E
- Jonathan Sayer as U
- Todd Stashwick as Paladin
- Ruaridh Mollica as Thomas Shepherd
The most obvious actor to start with is Bettany. The Englishman has played Vision since the superpowered humanoid’s live-action debut in 2014’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. However, following the character’s death at Thanos’ hands in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, it seemed Bettany’s time in the MCU had come to an end.
Not so. Bettany returned to play two versions of Vision in WandaVision, aka one of the best Disney+ shows, in early 2021. One was a fabricated version of Vision that a grief-stricken Wanda Maximoff inadvertently created using her powers post-Avengers: Endgame. The other – aka White Vision – is a reprogrammed version of the real Vision’s soul-less body, which was reanimated by the nefarious government agency known as S.W.O.R.D.
WandaVision‘s finale climax saw White Vision regain his original memories from the Wanda-created iteration before flying off to whereabouts unknown.
It’s White Vision who’ll be the protagonist of VisionQuest, but he won’t be the only android, robot, or artificial intelligence that’ll appear in this Marvel Phase 6 TV show.
Spader, who played the menacing Ultron in the second Avengers movie, will reprise his role as the villainous android despite his death at Vision’s hands in Age of Ultron. It’s unclear what role he’ll play here, but Variety has reported Ultron will show up in his original form and as a human character.
Human versions of Tony Stark/Iron Man‘s first AI assistant J.A.R.V.I.S, its successor F.R.I.D.A.Y, and E.D.I.T.H – the AI program in the sunglasses Stark posthumously gave to Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Far From Home – are also set to feature, according to Variety.
Elsewhere, Lewis and Sayer have lent their voices to two robots in D.U.M-E and U. The silent machines helped Stark create his various Iron Man suits in the superhero’s solo movie trilogy, so it’ll be fascinating to see how and why they can talk now.
As for the last two cast members, their characters are fully rooted in spoiler-based territory. If you don’t want to know what role they’ll play, skip ahead to the next section or leave this page now, because potentially big spoilers immediately follow for VisionQuest. Full spoilers are incoming for Agatha All Along and Doctor Strange 2, too.
Per industry leaker DanielRPK (via Reddit), Paladin is an assassin who’ll pursue White Vision for his advanced tech. Until recently, Stashwick’s involvement was a rumor, but showrunner Terry Matalas confirmed he’s part of the proceedings at Creation Entertainment Con (thanks to ParksandCons for the find).
Meanwhile, fans believe Mollica’s Thomas Shepherd is a pseudonym and that he’s actually playing Speed, aka Tommy Maximoff, who’s one of Wanda and Vision’s twin sons.
Tommy was last seen in WandaVision (albeit as a child) and referenced by Wiccan, aka Billy Maximoff, in Agatha All Along. In fact, Billy’s entire story arc in that TV show was based on tracking down Tommy. As I covered in my Agatha All Along ending explainer, that series ended with Billy – plus Agatha Harkness’ ghost in tow – continuing the search for his sibling.
It’s possible, then, that Billy and Agatha, played by Joe Locke and Kathryn Hahn, respectively, could also appear in VisionQuest.
Locke’s involvement sounds likely, too. During a chat with fans about Clarkston, a stage play Locke and Mollica are involved in, its director, Jack Serio, let slip that the actors filmed scenes together for a project where they play brothers (thanks to X/Twitter user sand12345678901 for the revelation). Coincidence? I think not.
VisionQuest won’t be a full family reunion without Elizabeth Olsen showing up as Wanda, though, so will she show up? Wanda – aka the Scarlet Witch – seemingly died in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, considering we didn’t see one of the MCU’s most powerful beings actually perish, there’s a good chance she’s still alive. Don’t bet against Olsen turning up, then.
Lastly, Deadline has claimed T’Nia Miller (Foundation, The Fall of the House of Usher) is secretly involved as Jocasta. In the comics, she’s an android initially built to become Ultron’s wife. However, Jocasta rebels against her supervillain status and ends up becoming an ally of The Avengers, so it’ll be interesting to eventually see how and why she’s involved.
VisionQuest story speculation
Possible spoilers follow for VisionQuest.
VisionQuest‘s plot brief is yet to be revealed, but some broad story strokes have emerged recently, including the fact that, per the website of production designer Will Hughes-Jones, it’ll comprise eight episodes.
Speaking to Rotten Tomatoes at NYCC 2025, Bettany revealed it’s set one year after WandaVision. And, during Marvel’s panel at the convention, Bettany dropped more hints about its plot.
“What’s different about Vision right now is that Red Vision gave White Vision all of his memories, including the memories from within the Hex,” he said “per Marvel.com) “But, White Vision is having real difficulty connecting to them, so he has the memories, but he doesn’t have the emotions and the feelings, and I think that’s what the journey is. White Vision’s journey during the show is about his attempt to connect to those memories and who he was… but with lasers!”
Paul Bettany talks about what he’s excited to explore in #VisionQuest @comicconla:”It’s about intergenerational trauma…fathers and sons and denial of pain and denial of your own truth and coming to terms with who and what you are.” pic.twitter.com/LOmTfGlyebSeptember 28, 2025
Elsewhere, speaking on the Katie Sackhoff Show, Matalas suggested VisionQuest offers the opportunity to “elevate” MCU canon and/or even course-correct specific characters’ journeys. Predictably, Matalas also dodged a question about Wanda’s possible appearance and the true identity of Mollica’s character.
Given the internal struggle that White Vision will be plagued by in the show’s early entries, it wouldn’t be a shock if VisionQuest follows WandaVision‘s lead and sees its titular character create his own pocket reality. If that happens, the show could cherry-pick elements from Tom King’s 12-issue ‘Vision’ comic book series, such as making his own stand-in family that includes wife Virginia, and teenage twins Viv and Vin.
How will VisionQuest set up future MCU projects
Nobody outside of Marvel Studios knows the answer to that question.
However, it’s safe to assume that VisionQuest will make its Disney+ bow before Avengers: Doomsday, the second and final MCU movie of 2026, lands in theaters. There’s a small chance that Vision could feature, then, despite Bettany not being part of March’s initial 27-strong Doomsday cast announcement.
If Vision doesn’t show up in Avengers 5, he’s certainly someone who should turn up in its sequel Avengers: Secret Wars. Should Bettany stick around post-Avengers 6, he might even help to co-found the MCU’s version of the West Coast Avengers if that’s a storytelling direction that Marvel chooses to go in.
In short, I don’t think VisionQuest will be the last time we see Bettany in the MCU. Where he appears next, though, is up for debate.
