VisionQuest is taking Paul Bettany‘s MCU journey in a new direction. Created by Terry Matalas, the upcoming Marvel show serves as the conclusion to the trilogy that began with WandaVision in 2021.
Paul Bettany will reprise his role as White Vision in the upcoming television miniseries. The series will explore the character’s past and how it influenced his identity. Furthermore, the show will also hint at what the character’s future may look like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Matales told Empire, “This is the first time where we get to watch Vision drive the narrative, and understand who he is, who he thinks he was.” Revealing more about the narrative of the upcoming series, the showrunner added, “We watch this character go through an identity crisis. It’s kind of the Vision movie, if you will. He is attempting to move about in the world in a small way, and then at night download this data and discuss the things that have happened to him with these different AIs, who have different characteristics and help him understand different qualities and skills.”
The showrunner further added, “But he is also very much using it as an excuse to keep the world and himself at arm’s length. And of course, events conspire to drag him actually into the world.”
