VisionQuest continues the story of WandaVision

VisionQuest is set five years after WandaVision and concludes the story initiated in 2021 by Jac Schaeffer. The series explores Vision’s struggle to find meaning in his existence while being joined by Thomas Shepard, a mysterious young man who may be the reincarnation of Vision’s son.

Themes of identity and fatherhood explored

It includes a cast featuring James Spader as Ultron, Ruaridh Mollica as Tommy, and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H. The narrative blends elements of Vice-Versa, Pinocchio, and the Marvel universe.

Mixed reception but strong overall performance

VisionQuest is available on Disney+ starting October 14, 2026. The series is considered one of the most successful Marvel productions on television, with a visually stunning and emotionally rich story.
