Marvel's VisionQuest set Oct 14

Paul Bettany’s return as Vision now has a date. Marvel Television said on May 12 that “VisionQuest” will debut on Disney+ on Oct. 14, 2026, after Disney previewed the series during its 2026 Upfronts presentation in New York City. Marvel’s release named Bettany as the lead and said the show will stream exclusively on Disney+. The company did not announce an episode count or runtimes in the release. The May 12 announcement answers one of the biggest open questions around the long-developing Marvel project: when it will finally arrive. Marvel framed the series as the next chapter for Vision after earlier Disney+ entries tied to the character’s story, and it paired the date with a short cast and creative update. ### When did Disney actually announce the date? (marvel.com) Disney announced the date during its 2026 Upfronts presentation in New York City, according to Marvel’s release published May 12. The company said “VisionQuest” will premiere on Oct. 14, 2026, on Disney+. Marvel’s post also made clear that the launch is planned for Disney+ rather than a theatrical release. (marvel.com) The release described the series as premiering “exclusively” on the streaming platform. ### Who is confirmed to be in the series? Paul Bettany is confirmed to return as Vision, Marvel said in the announcement. Bettany has played the android Avenger across multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe films and television projects. (marvel.com) James Spader is also confirmed for the cast as Ultron, reprising the role from 2015’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” according to Marvel. (marvel.com) The company also listed Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, James D’Arcy, Orla Brady, Emily Hampshire and Ruaridh Mollica among the cast. ### What does Marvel say the show is in its broader lineup? (marvel.com) Marvel said “VisionQuest” will mark the final installment in a trilogy that began with 2021’s “WandaVision” and continued with 2024’s “Agatha All Along.” That description came from Marvel’s own release rather than a third-party assessment. The company did not provide a fuller plot synopsis in the announcement it published on May 12. (marvel.com) The release focused on the premiere date, returning cast members and the show’s place in that three-series run. ### Who is making “VisionQuest”? Terry Matalas serves as showrunner for “VisionQuest,” Marvel said. Marvel identified Matalas by referencing his work on “Star Trek: Picard.” (marvel.com) Marvel did not disclose directing assignments, episode lengths or a total number of episodes in the release announcing the date. Those details may come later in marketing materials or on Disney+ closer to launch, but they were not included in the May 12 notice. (marvel.com) ### What still has not been announced? Episode count remains unannounced as of Marvel’s May 12 release. (marvel.com) Runtime information was also not included in the company’s announcement. Disney+ is the only confirmed platform named so far for the series’ debut. Marvel said “VisionQuest” will premiere on Oct. 14, 2026, exclusively on Disney+, with Bettany returning as Vision and Spader confirmed as Ultron. (marvel.com)
