Summary

• New fan art has imagined the Scarlet Witch's return to the MCU in Marvel Studios' Vision series.
• Marvel Studios has hired Terry Matalas as Vision's showrunner, and has given the series a 2026 release window in the MCU's Phase 6.
• Vision's series could explore Vision recreating his family dynamic from Westview, and could set up the MCU's West Coast Avengers.

New fan art promoting Marvel Studios' originally titled Vision Quest, was confirmed in October 2022, with WandaVision's Jac Schaeffer returning as head writer and executive producer, though she was no longer involved in the project by May 2024.

Star Trek: Picard executive producer Terry Matalas was hired as the showrunner for Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, could also return following her death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This dramatic return has now been imagined in a stunning fan-made poster shared by spideyvegas.

What Will Vision’s New MCU Series Be About?

Despite Variety reporting that Terry Matalas has been hired as the Vision series' showrunner, and confirming the series' 2026 release date, not much is known about the storyline or cast for the live-action spinoff. Paul Bettany's Vision will be the series' focus, presumably picking up in the wake of his transformation in 2021's WandaVision. Bettany originally voiced JARVIS, but appeared physically as Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He went on to become a crucial member of the Avengers, though he was later killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War so the Mad Titan could claim the Mind Stone.

Following his demise, Vision was inadvertently created by the Scarlet Witch during her establishment of the Hex around Westview, New Jersey, allowing the pair to live their sitcom-style life during WandaVision. Concurrently, SWORD rebuilt Vision in the outside world from the broken pieces of his original body, reviving him with a sleeker, white design. This new White Vision entered the Westview Hex and attacked the Scarlet Witch and Vision, but was stopped by the new Vision and had his memories restored, prompting him to leave to locations unknown. This created the perfect jumping off point for the MCU's Vision series.

Elements of Marvel Comics' Vision Quest storyline were used in WandaVision, so it seems that these plot points won't be revisited in the new Vision series. Speculation has suggested that the series could debut Vision's synthezoid family, including his wife Virginia, son Vin, and daughter Viv, which could see Vision try to recreate the happy family life he had in Westview. Marvel Studios' new Vision series could also lay the foundations for the MCU's West Coast Avengers, of which Vision was a founding member in Marvel Comics, which could make the series a very important installment in the MCU.
