The short answer: Marvel’s new promo returns to a series that closes the WandaVision trilogy, with a rebooted Vision seeking answers from the AIs in his programming.
Marvel has released a new VisionQuest promotional video, bringing Paul Bettany’s character back into focus as he tries to make sense of memories that do not quite feel like his own. The Disney+ series follows a rebooted Vision searching for new meaning.
Published October 18, 2026, the video revisits a series with a direct connection to WandaVision. VisionQuest concludes the trilogy that began with that 2021 series and continued with Agatha All Along in 2024, returning to the version of Vision introduced at the end of WandaVision.
A familiar Vision, an unfamiliar life
Vision is keeping a low profile while working at a pub in Edinburgh. To find a way forward, he consults the artificial intelligences embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H. and J.A.R.V.I.S. Ultron, played by James Spader, is another presence inside his head.
Showrunner Terry Matalas told D23 that Vision’s identity crisis led him to ask whom he wanted the character to confront. His answer was Ultron. Matalas kept returning to their final exchange in Avengers: Age of Ultron, imagining what would happen if that conversation could continue across a series. For Bettany, the result retains a connection to WandaVision without simply repeating it.
It manages to be redolent of WandaVision but also its own thing. I think that’s quite a magic trick that Terry pulled off. Paul Bettany, speaking to D23 about VisionQuest
A new creative lead, an ongoing connection
Spader, who played Ultron in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, emphasized a different aspect of the script. He told D23 that he read it with fresh eyes and found that it worked for him as a standalone story. Where Bettany highlighted the echoes of WandaVision, Spader valued the story on its own terms.
Behind the scenes, Matalas created VisionQuest for television, while WandaVision and Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer remains an executive producer. In an interview published by TheWrap on October 12, 2026, Matalas recalled an early conversation in which he expressed his admiration for WandaVision and his gratitude for inheriting the story. He said Schaeffer gave him space to develop his own approach to the characters.
