Marvel Studios’ latest Special Presentation, The Punisher: One Last Kill, may have only hit Disney+ just this morning, but our *ahem* vision is already being directed towards the MCU’s next major small-screen outing. At Disney’s latest Upfront presentation in New York’s Javits Center, the House of Mouse confirmed that long-gestating, Paul Bettany led series VisionQuest — the final part of a trilogy that began with 2021’s WandaVision and continued with 2024’s Agatha All Along — is officially set to start streaming on Disney+ on 14 October, 2026.
Hailing from showrunner Terry Malala’s (Star Trek Picard) and starring Paul Bettany as everybody’s favourite synthezoid once more, VisionQuest is set to explore ‘White Vision”s search for purpose in a post-Thanos, post-Wanda world over the course of an eight-episode run, with each episode emulating a different kind of film. Plot specifics on the show are, as we’ve come to expect from MCU projects, pretty thin on the ground right now — but the series’ cast does provide some compelling context for what Matalas and co have been cooking.
For starters, James Spader’s Ultron — aka Vision’s creator — is back, promising some testy father-son relationship tension. Then there’s Todd Stashwick’s Paladin, a Boba Fett style bounty hunter who’s after Vis; Ruaridh Mollica’s Tommy Maximoff is back, too; and T’Nia Miller is aboard the VisionQuest too, playing vengeful robot — and Marvel comics deep-cut — Jocasta. They’re joined by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, James D’Arcy, Orla Brady, Emily Hampshire, Lauren Morais, and actual Philomena Cunk herself, Diane Morgan. There’s even rumours of Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord rocking up in VisionQuest at some point, but there’s been no official confirmation of that just yet, so we’re confining that to the realm of wild speculation for the time being.
By the time VisionQuest hits our screens, it will have been half a decade since WandaVision came along and kicked off Marvel Studios’ DIsney+ era, and over two years since Agatha Harkness headed down, down, down the road (down the witches’ road) in Agatha All Along. But, with Disney hailing VisionQuest as the ‘final instalment’ in a decidedly unconventional streaming series trilogy, and one heck of a cast assembled, we do see the vision — and we will see the Vision on 14 October.
