WandaVision ushered in the MCU’s move to long-form storytelling on Disney+, and a number of story threads from the show have already been continued in recent and upcoming Marvel projects. These have included the continuation of Wanda Maximoff’s story in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Monica Rambeau’s newly gained powers leading her to The Marvels, and villain Agatha Harkness getting her own Disney+ series, Coven of Chaos. However, one hanging thread that may finally be about to get is what happened to Paul Bettany’s White Vision, as a new rumor has suggested that a Disney+ series based on the character could be in development.

Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider revealed the latest rumors surrounding Vision’s return to the MCU on The Hot Mic podcast, and according to sources, the new series has the interesting working title of Vision Quest. The significance of the title is made apparent when considering that it is the name of a Marvel Comics arc featuring the character, which has the character being dismantled, having his brain wiped, and his skin turned white. In the West Coast Avengers story he also discovers details about his children with Wanda and how they were nothing but figments of Wanda’s imagination brought on by a “hysterical pregnancy.” Sound familiar?

While much of the Vision Quest story was adapted into WandaVision’s series, it is likely that the story of a Vision series could be more like a sequel to that comic book storyline, as Vision is now somewhere out in the MCU world, with his memory restored but without the power of an infinity stone within him. Whether the series will explore how Vision copes with his newly restored memories of his previous existence is unknown, and of course, there is the question whether it will also lead to a reunion with Wanda following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Will Paul Bettany Reprise His Role as Vision?

Paul Bettany previously said that he doesn’t know whether he will be back to play Vision again in the MCU. Following the climax of WandaVision, it seemed like there was some unfinished business for White Vision as there are very few Marvel characters that are allowed to simply zoom off into the sky, never to be seen again. At the time, Bettany said:

Perhaps now that discussion has been had, and Vision could be on his way back to the MCU in the relatively near future, with Bettany once again reprising his role. Where his new story will take him and how it will tie to the rest of the MCU is something that will only be revealed when Kevin Feige believes the time is right to do so.

“I don’t have a contract. I don’t know that. I don’t know that at all. And all that I do know is, as far as this sort of traunch of press goes for an Emmy push, which is for a limited series. So it doesn’t look like that happening again. I mean, I guess it would be difficult to introduce White Vision and not deal with him in some way, but we have not discussed that.”
