5 Years Later, Marvel Is Remaking WandaVision In Reverse

The Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps expanding, and five years after the release of WandaVision, it’s remaking the show but in reverse. The MCU continues to be the most extensive connected universe in the superhero genre, more so after it started branching out to TV. It all began in 2021 with WandaVision, the first official MCU TV show, as Netflix’s Marvel shows were later added to the MCU’s continuity. The point of the MCU’s TV shows is to expand the stories and characters from the movies, as well as introduce new ones and set up bigger events.

In that sense, WandaVision did a great job, as it was key to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, one of the most important movies in the Multiverse Saga. WandaVision was also the beginning of a trilogy, with Agatha All Along released in 2024. The trilogy will end in October 2026 with VisionQuest, a sequel and spinoff of WandaVision starring Vision (Paul Bettany), in the version viewers refer to as White Vision.

Like its predecessors, VisionQuest is set to be a miniseries, and after a very long wait, it will finally arrive on Disney+ on October 14, 2026. The first look at VisionQuest was revealed at Disney’s 2026 D3 convention, and it has a very similar vibe to WandaVision, both visually and thematically. In the latter, however, VisionQuest feels like a reverse version of WandaVision, and while that could backfire, in this specific case it might be a good thing for the show.

VisionQuest Reverses WandaVision’s Westview Premise

Created by Terry Matalas, VisionQuest reunites viewers with Vision, who, at the end of WandaVision, gets his memories restored with the help of Hex Vision (the one Wanda created inside Westview) and declares himself as the “true Vision.” Vision hasn’t been seen or mentioned ever since, but VisionQuest reveals that he has been hiding by doing his best to live a normal human life. Meanwhile, Vision is trying to understand who he really is.

As part of that process, Vision interacts with the human avatars of the different AI personas embedded in his programming, such as J.A.R.V.I.S. (James D’Arcy), F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Orla Brady), E.D.I.T.H. (Emily Hampshire), and Ultron (James Spader). If that wasn’t enough, Vision learns that his son, Tommy Maximoff, might be reincarnated, and a bounty has also been placed on Vision’s head. The trailer for VisionQuest shows Vision going home to a house created in his mind and where he coexists with the others, which feels like WandaVision in reverse.

In WandaVision, Wanda projected her inner world and desires into the real world and created the Hex, with which she turned the town of Westview into her desired reality, with its residents trapped there and controlled by her. In VisionQuest, instead of projecting his world into the real one, Vision has created it inside his mind, and the people in it are human avatars of AI programs rather than real people.

In addition to that, both shows made the Maximoff kids part of their story, though in very different ways. WandaVision saw the creation of Billy and Tommy Maximoff, with the former being reincarnated in Agatha All Along and the later finding a body for his brother to reincarnate in. Exactly what Tommy’s role in VisionQuest will be is currently unknown, but he will certainly have a central role in it.

VisionQuest Is Doing Justice To Two Forgotten MCU Projects

In addition to closing the WandaVision trilogy and, hopefully, either bringing closure to Vision or setting up his next big adventure, VisionQuest is doing justice to two forgotten MCU projects: Avengers: Age of Ultron and the TV show Agent Carter. The second Avengers movie is widely regarded as the weakest one, but VisionQuest is giving it a bigger purpose by bringing Ultron back and exploring the connection between Vision and Ultron.

VisionQuest’s connection to Agent Carter is thanks to James D’Arcy, who played Edwin Jarvis, Howard Stark’s loyal and trusty butler as well as an ally to Carter, and who Tony’s J.A.R.V.I.S. was named after. This is why the human avatar of J.A.R.V.I.S. is that of Edwin Jarvis, thus integrating Agent Carter a bit more. VisionQuest can answer some of the biggest questions left by the Infinity Saga while also (hopefully) setting Vision’s big screen return up, and one can only hope that the show will live up to its potential.
