5/13/2026, 10:45:49 PM

Premiere Details and Premise

VisionQuest will debut on Disney+ on October 14. The series follows Vision (Paul Bettany) after *WandaVision*, now holding his original memories but without the corresponding emotions. He seeks humanity while confronting Ultron, voiced and portrayed by James Spader. It also introduces an adult Tommy, Vision and Wanda’s son, played by Ruaridh Mollica. The series will be streamed globally on Disney+.

Evolution from *WandaVision* to VisionQuest

VisionQuest concludes the storyline that began with the 2021 Disney+ series *WandaVision* and continued with the 2024 series *Agatha All Along*. *WandaVision* reintroduced Vision after his death in *Avengers: Infinity War*, creating a post-Avengers love story that intersected with *Doctor Strange* in the Multiverse of Madness. *Agatha All Along* expanded the narrative by revealing the fate of Wanda’s children, Billy and Tommy, setting up VisionQuest’s premise.

Principal Cast and Creative Team

Paul Bettany returns as Vision, with James Spader reprising Ultron. Ruaridh Mollica plays adult Tommy/Thomas Shepherd. The cast also includes Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, James D’Arcy, Orla Brady, Emily Hampshire, Todd Stashwick as the mercenary Paladin, Faran Tahir as Raza, Lauren Morais as Lisa Molinari, and Diane Morgan as Paladin’s associate. Showrunner Terry Matalas, known for *Star Trek: Picard*, leads the series.

Official Statements from Marvel and Cast

Marvel Television announced the series at Disney’s 2026 Upfront in New York, confirming an October 14 Disney+ release. The company called VisionQuest the final installment of the *WandaVision* trilogy. Paul Bettany described the show as a personal exploration of identity and purpose, noting Vision now has memories but no feelings. Disney’s promotional material highlighted themes of humanity, technology and Vision’s quest for purpose. The announcement was made during a Marvel segment that also featured Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Hiddleston.

Conflicting Reports on Release Year

Sources differ on the year attached to the October 14 premiere. *Marvel.com* and *Deadline* state the debut is October 14, 2026. *TheWrap*, *CNET* and another *Deadline* preview mention only October 14, calling it “later this year” without naming 2026. The phrase “later this year” appears in a 2026 *Deadline* article, but the year is not explicitly stated. No source definitively confirms the release year, leaving the exact date ambiguous.
