Well, it’s official, Vision Quest, Marvel Studios’ much-anticipated WandaVision spin-off, has finished filming. Quietly but right on schedule, production wrapped up in late July 2025 at the iconic Pinewood Studios in London, along with some breathtaking spots across the UK. It’s another big step for Marvel as it charges ahead into Phase Six of the MCU, and this one’s shaping up to be more personal than punchy, a deeper dive into one of the franchise’s more enigmatic characters.
If you caught the finale of WandaVision, you’ll remember the reappearance of White Vision, the emotionless, memory-wiped version of Vision created by S.W.O.R.D. That’s where this new series picks up. White Vision isn’t the same charming, empathetic synthezoid fans fell in love with. He’s lost, disconnected, and unsure who he even is anymore. The show follows him on a layered journey to uncover pieces of his past and figure out what it means to exist in a world that’s moved on without him.
It’s not your average superhero arc; there’s no world-ending threat (at least, not right away). This one’s more about introspection, memory, and the blurry line between man and machine.
Paul Bettany is back as Vision, though this time, the performance is expected to be a bit more cerebral. He’s not playing the romantic partner or quirky sitcom dad; this Vision is stripped down emotionally, wrestling with heavy questions about identity and autonomy.
Joining him are T’Nia Miller, Emily Hampshire, and Ruaridh Mollica, though their roles are still under wraps. One name that’s sure to stir up nostalgia? James Spader, yep, the original voice of Ultron, is reportedly returning, which could hint at some juicy inner conflict or callbacks to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Nothing like a ghost from the machine to complicate a man’s search for self.
Terry Matalas (you might know him from Star Trek: Picard) is helming the series after WandaVision showrunner Jac Schaeffer stepped away. Matalas is known for telling emotionally grounded sci-fi stories, and it looks like Vision Quest will lean into that same tone, part tech-noir, part existential drama.
That tonal shift makes sense when you consider the subject matter. After all, we’re talking about a character who’s essentially rebooting himself and trying to make sense of what (or who) he is without a human soul to guide him.
Here’s a cool detail: the production operated under the working title Tin Man, a cheeky nod to The Wizard of Oz and a perfect metaphor for Vision’s emotional quest for a “heart.” Filming locations included quaint English villages that doubled as Scottish towns, giving the show a grounded, almost otherworldly feel.
And despite all the chaos in the industry lately, from strikes to scheduling nightmares, Vision Quest wrapped with surprisingly few hiccups. That’s great news for fans, as it keeps the show on track for its 2026 debut on Disney+.
The series is expected to run for eight episodes and serve as a narrative bridge between WandaVision and bigger Phase Six events, particularly Avengers: Doomsday. There’s even chatter that locations like Madripoor (last seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) could appear, opening the door for cameos and future tie-ins.
But don’t expect this to be an action-heavy spectacle. If anything, Vision Quest is aiming for something a little slower, a little smarter, the kind of storytelling that makes you think. It’ll likely feel more like a philosophical deep dive than your typical MCU outing, with themes that explore artificial intelligence, emotional memory, and what it means to truly be alive.
At this point, it’s pretty clear: Marvel’s not just pumping out superhero content, it’s trying to stretch the genre’s emotional and narrative limits. With a sharp creative lead, a cast that promises depth, and a unique angle on a fan-favorite character, Vision Quest might just sneak up as one of 2026’s most intriguing Disney+ releases.
If you liked the introspective tone of WandaVision and you’re into the big questions about identity, purpose, and humanity, this might be the Marvel series you didn’t know you needed.
