‘WandaVision’: Marvel Developing Vision Focused Spinoff at Disney+
Marvel Studios has a Vision for a new Disney+ show: a WandaVision spinoff focusing on Paul Bettany‘s Vision.
Deadline reported the news on Friday, October 28, citing sources who said that the project is titled Vision Quest and would follow Vision “trying to regain his memory and humanity.” The show would also present the possibility of Elizabeth Olsen’s return as Wanda Maximoff, the other lead of the Emmy-nominated hit WandaVision.
WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer is reportedly overseeing Vision Quest, and a writers’ room for the project is opening next week, according to Deadline. The site also notes that Vision Quest is also being referred to as the White Vision project, a reference to the version of Vision created by S.W.O.R.D. to kill Wanda and Vision at the end of WandaVision’s sole season.

Vision Quest would be the second WandaVision spinoff: The first, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, follows Kathryn Hahn’s witch character from the show. Reports of Agatha’s development made headlines in October 2021, and Disney+ ordered the project to series the following month — under the title Agatha: House of Harkness — with Schaeffer on board as executive producer.

This July, the streamer announced at San Diego Comic-Con that the show, then retitled, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, would premiere in the winter of 2023. And earlier this month, WandaVision actress Emma Caulfield said she’d be reprising her role of Dottie Jones in the “super fun” spinoff.
Bettany previously told Deadline that he wasn’t sure whether he’d have a chance to return to the role of Vision, a synthezoid he has played in three Marvel movies. “You never know with Marvel, whether you’re done, or not,” he told the site in August 2021. “So I don’t want to call it the end yet. This was one of the most creative experiences of my life, joyful and free, making this show. To see it embraced by an audience the way it was, was so wonderful.”
