Marvel has announced the release date for its Vision Quest TV show

The live-action series will be the final part of Marvel's Wanda Vision trilogy

Marvel has finally confirmed when its Vision Quest TV show will be released: Wednesday, October 14.

Announced during Disney's 2026 Upfront presentation yesterday (May 12), the Paul Bettany-led series will be the final live-action Disney+ project to arrive before the highly-anticipated Avengers: Doomsday.

There's no official word on whether Vision Quest will directly lead into and/or impact the aforementioned movie's plot. However, Vision Quest will wrap up a three-part Marvel story involving Bettany's Vision and Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch — one which began with 2021's Wanda Vision and continued in 2024's Agatha All Along.

Little is known about Vision Quest's story but, based on Wanda Vision's ending, we already know it'll focus on the revived Vision and what happens to him after he regained the memories of his past life with Wanda, as an Avenger, and his death at Thanos' hands in Avengers: Infinity War.

As for who'll appear alongside Bettany in the Marvel Phase 6 production, Philomena Cunk star Diane Morgan was surprisingly announced as a Vision Quest cast member last November. Relative acting newcomer Lauren Morais was also confirmed as part of its ensemble in late 2025, too.

There'll be plenty of familiar faces — or, should that be voices? — too. Indeed, James Spader is back as underutilized villain Ultron from 2014's Avengers: Age of Ultron, while Emily Hampshire returns as the voice of one of Tony Stark's artificial intelligences in F. R. I. D. A. Y.

Finally, James D'Arcy, who played the Stark family's human butler Edwin Jarvis in Avengers: Endgame, will voice the AI known as J. A. R. V. I. S in this Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) project. Bettany voiced J. A. R. V. I. S in the first two Iron Man films before assuming the mantle of Vision in Age of Ultron.

Will Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch appear in Vision Quest?

Full spoilers follow for Wanda Vision, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Agatha All Along.

Speculation abounds that other actors will show up in Vision Quest, and chief among those rumored to appear is Olsen's Wanda.

After officially becoming the Scarlet Witch, aka one of the most powerful mutants in Marvel Comics, in 2021's Wanda Vision, Olsen has only starred in one other MCU project: 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

In a film that positioned her as the villain of the piece, much to the chagrin of many fans, Wanda appeared to die when she sacrificed herself to destroy the ancient, dark magic spell book known as the Darkhold. Considering we didn't actually see Wanda die on-camera, though, fans have long suspected that she didn't meet her untimely end in Doctor Strange 2.

Additionally, at least one of her sons, aka Billy Maximoff/Wiccan, who Wanda created alongside his twin Tommy Maximoff/Speed, using her magical abilities, is also alive and well in the MCU.

Indeed, an older version of Billy was played by Joe Locke in Agatha All Along. Wanda's incredible powerset notwithstanding, how would Billy still be running around the MCU if his mom had perished? Surely whatever spell she'd cast to create him and Tommy would've been terminated if she was actually dead, right?

If Wanda is still kicking around, Vision Quest would be the perfect place for Olsen to make her first MCU appearance in over four years. After all, Wanda is Vision's romantic partner and the wife of his children. It would make sense, then, for Olsen to return in this show, especially as Bettany's vision has a significant supporting role in the Olsen-fronted Wanda Vision.

Heck, if Marvel still isn't ready to confirm that Wanda is still alive, Olsen could reprise her role as her fan-favorite character in a flashback scene, as part of one of Vision's returning memories, or even a figment of his imagination. If nothing else, it'll finally allow Olsen to stop answering questions about when she'll next appear in the MCU.
