Los Angeles, CA – In a move that has excited Marvel fans, the beloved character Vision is set to make a comeback in a new Disney+ series scheduled for release in 2026. The synthezoid, portrayed by Paul Bettany, will be resurrected under the guidance of showrunner Terry Matalas, known for his work on “Star Trek: Picard.”
Vision’s character first met his demise at the hands of Thanos in “Avengers: Infinity War” but made a surprising return in 2021’s “WandaVision.” The series saw two versions of Vision interacting, culminating in a poignant moment where Wanda allowed her own creation to fade away. The upcoming show will explore the aftermath of these events, focusing on the ghostly Vision finding his new purpose in life.
Marvel’s decision to bring in Terry Matalas follows his successful run on “Star Trek: Picard,” where he impressed audiences with his creative vision for the beloved franchise. This move signifies a change in Marvel’s approach to TV production for Disney+, emphasizing the importance of experienced showrunners like Matalas in shaping the narrative of their projects.
While an earlier version of a Vision series was in development with Jac Schaeffer, the creator of “WandaVision,” attention shifted towards other spinoff projects, including “Agatha All Along.” With Matalas on board, Marvel is gearing up for its first new live-action series pickup in nearly two years, reflecting a strategic shift in their television production approach.
Prior to his involvement with “Picard,” Matalas lent his creative talents to shows like “12 Monkeys” and the CBS reboot of “MacGyver.” His diverse background and experience in showrunning make him a valuable addition to the Marvel team as they expand their TV offerings on Disney+.
Represented by CAA and Anonymous Content, Matalas brings a wealth of experience and creativity to the table as he spearheads the revival of Vision on the small screen. Fans can look forward to a fresh perspective on the character and a new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
