After years of delays and a whole lot of fan patience, Marvel finally gave everyone the date they’ve been waiting for. VisionQuest — the long-anticipated continuation of the WandaVision story — will premiere on Disney+ on October 14, 2026. Paul Bettany broke the news himself at Tuesday’s Disney Upfront presentation in New York, and Marvel also screened the first footage from the series for the room.
The show picks up directly from the WandaVision finale, following the White Vision who flew away after having Original Vision’s memories downloaded into him — technically knowing everything, but having experienced none of it. That existential gap is the heart of the story: Vision has the face and the memories, but not the emotional texture of a life lived. He’s a being searching for his own humanity.
And apparently, his guide — or at least his provocateur — in that search is Ultron, voiced and now physically portrayed by James Spader, who is returning to the MCU for the first time since Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. The footage shown at the Upfront had Spader’s Ultron watching MCU flashbacks alongside Vision while taunting him about who and what he actually is. Marvel TV chief Brad Winderbaum described the series as blending action with fatherhood themes and real emotional weight.
The cast also includes Ruaridh Mollica as Tommy Maximoff (aka Speed), setting up threads left from Agatha All Along, along with Todd Stashwick as Paladin, Orla Brady, Emily Hampshire, and Faran Tahir, reprising his original Iron Man role as Raza. Showrunner Terry Matalas — who revived Star Trek: Picard Season 3 into a fan phenomenon — is at the helm. This one has the potential to be very, very good.
