Marvel fans have been waiting a long time for this one. Disney confirmed during its Upfront presentation that VisionQuest, the WandaVision spin-off starring Paul Bettany, will premiere on Disney+ on October 14.
The announcement came with a first-look teaser, and the stars who showed up made it memorable. Bettany took the stage alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Hiddleston to give fans their first real glimpse at what’s coming.
What is VisionQuest about and where does it fit in the MCU timeline?
WandaVision was the very first Marvel series on Disney+ back in 2021, following Vision and Wanda Maximoff in a surreal suburban existence before Vision was destroyed.
A rebuilt version, known as White Vision, later emerged with his memories intact but without the emotional connection to having lived them.
He was originally created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and later rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. as a weapon before recovering his memories and going into hiding.
VisionQuest picks up from there. Marvel has called it the conclusion of a trilogy that includes WandaVision and 2024’s Agatha All Along.

Bettany has teased that the show takes viewers inside Vision’s mind, which he described as more cluttered than expected, adding that Vision has been copying and preserving other AIs inside his head.
Who else is in the cast of VisionQuest?
James Spader returns as Ultron in human form, shown taunting Vision with references to Tommy Maximoff, also known as Speed. James D’Arcy is back as JARVIS, Orla Brady plays FRIDAY, Emily Hampshire portrays EDITH, T’Nia Miller plays Jocasta, and Ruaridh Mollica plays Tommy Maximoff.
Todd Stashwick plays Paladin, a mercenary hired to target Vision’s technology, and Faran Tahir reprises his Iron Man role as Raza. Terry Matalas of Star Trek: Picard serves as showrunner across eight episodes.
VisionQuest isn’t the only Marvel content headed your way this year. Daredevil: Born Again has already finished airing, and The Punisher: One Last Kill is out now on Disney+. Later in 2026, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday are also on the way to theaters.
