Paul Bettany Leads Mcu VisionQuest to 2026 Arrival
mcu VisionQuest is set to arrive later in 2026, making it the next MCU TV show after Daredevil: Born Again season 2. Paul Bettany returns as Vision, and the series extends a storyline Marvel first started building in 2022.
Paul Bettany and White Vision
Bettany stars as Vision in a project that follows the events of WandaVision, where Wanda Maximoff recreated her beloved Vision using Chaos magic and S.W.O.R.D. later used Vision's broken body to create a new version of the synthetic humanoid. By the end of that series, Wanda's Vision had combined his memories with the new White Vision, and the resulting being flew away to make sense of his identity.
That setup makes VisionQuest more than a routine return. White Vision is set to reconcile his identity in the new series, which gives the show a direct narrative purpose instead of resetting the character again.
Ultron Returns in 2026
James Spader is reprising his role as Ultron, adding another carryover from Marvel's earlier screen history. VisionQuest was first announced in 2022 and wrapped filming in July 2025, so the production is already in the pipeline rather than at the concept stage.
The release date remains unconfirmed, even as the series sits on the schedule for later in 2026. That timing places it behind Spider-Noir on Prime Video from May 25, 2026, and ahead of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2, expected in the Fall of 2026.
Marvel's 2026 Television Slate
Marvel's television calendar keeps stretching into 2027, with Daredevil: Born Again season 3 expected in March 2027 and Wonder Man season 2 expected in either 2027 or 2028. VisionQuest lands in the middle of that stretch as one of the more clearly dated pieces of the slate.
For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: VisionQuest is the next MCU TV show after Daredevil: Born Again season 2, and it is built to resolve White Vision's identity story while bringing Ultron back into the frame. Marvel is not just filling a slot here; it is returning to one of its few television threads with actual unfinished business.
