The MCU has put Vision (Paul Bettany) through the ringer.
He died (twice!) in Avengers: Infinity War. Then, his grieving wife Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) resurrected him and threw him into WandaVision‘s many sitcom parodies. As if that weren’t enough, WandaVision also introduced White Vision, who was created by S.W.O.R.D. to kill both Vision and Wanda.

Instead of destroying each other, the Visions had a philosophical discussion about identity, after which resurrected Vision passed his memories and those of the original Vision on to White Vision. Now viewing himself as Vision, instead of S.W.O.R.D.’s weapon, White Vision flew off, never to be seen again in the MCU… until now.
Vision returns in Marvel’s VisionQuest, coming this fall to Disney+. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming series, from its plot to its release date.
What is VisionQuest about?
White Vision’s identity crisis continues in VisionQuest, which sees him struggling to connect with the memories he gained at the end of WandaVision. As he goes on a reality-bending journey to understand who he truly is, he encounters personified versions of other programs that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) created. Footage from Marvel’s 2025 New York Comic Con panel revealed these programs to include Henry Lewis as Dum-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H.

James Spader returns to the MCU as Ultron in VisionQuest.
These programs aren’t the only AI popping up in VisionQuest. Avengers villain Ultron (James Spader) is also back, albeit in a very different way. Spader isn’t voicing Ultron’s terrifying robotic body anymore. Instead, he’ll be appearing in the flesh. During VisionQuest footage played during Disney’s 2026 Upfront presentation, VisionQuest‘s take on Ultron seems more like a fatherly mentor figure than a sinister adversary. Perhaps he’s just a figment of Vision’s imagination, conjured up to guide him through his memories.
Who is in VisionQuest?
In addition to Paul Bettany and James Spader, VisionQuest also stars Todd Stashwick, T’Nia Miller, Emily Hampshire, Orla Brady, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and James D’Arcy.
Ruaridh Mollica also stars in a role that will get WandaVision fans excited. He plays Tommy Maximoff, Wanda and Vision’s speedster son. His twin brother Billy, also known as Wiccan, appeared in Agatha All Along, played by Joe Locke.
