There&#8217;s a huge amount of excitement surrounding what that means for the MCU, particularly with the Scarlet Witch and Young Avengers expected to factor into Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.<\/p>\n<p>The series will reunite Vision\u00a0with his sons, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, as well as some familiar AIs from his and the MCU&#8217;s past (who, based on past rumours, are hiding out in Madripoor after somehow taking &#8220;human&#8221; form).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Vision, meanwhile, is likely to be shown dealing with his resurrection at S.W.O.R.D.&#8217;s hands. While the Hex Vision restored his memories, if Marvel Studios is following the comics, this White Vision may be devoid of all emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Talking on the Saturn Awards red carpet, the Solo: A Star Wars Story star revealed what makes showrunner Terry Matalan&#8217;s vision (no pun intended) for VisionQuest so unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that Terry realised and agreed with me that I feel like Marvel gets rewarded when it takes really big swings,&#8221; Bettany explained.\u00a0&#8220;And I think he just understood in his bones who Vision is for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And Vision is for the kid that I was when I was a kid\u2014this is the kid that felt like an outsider and felt like they had no community that they fit into. And he knew who these stories are for and who Vision is for,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And I think we made a really fun and entertaining show about a guy who&#8217;s an outsider and trying to find out who he is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ALSO READ:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sffgazette.com\/fantasy\/harry-potter\/harry-potter-set-video-reveals-a-full-diagon-alley-tour-following-bullying-accusations-a9793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Harry Potter Set Video Reveals A Full<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nDiagon Alley Tour Following Bullying Accusations<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Looking beyond the MCU, rumours have swirled recently about Bettany being HBO&#8217;s top choice to play Voldemort in the upcoming Harry Potter TV series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether there&#8217;s any truth to him following in Ralph Fiennes footsteps, Bettany replied, &#8220;I haven&#8217;t heard anything about that.

For now, it seems no final decision has been made, and\u00a0while we expect to learn who will portray the villain sooner than Season 4 (Voldemort didn&#8217;t fully return until\u00a0The Goblet of Fire), HBO may choose to keep any casting\u00a0under wraps for now.<\/p>\n<p>The previously announced cast of\u00a0VisionQuest\u00a0features Paul Bettany as Vision,\u00a0Ruaridh Mollica as Tommy\u00a0Maximoff,\u00a0James Spader as Ultron,\u00a0T&#8217;Nia Miller as Jocasta, James D&#8217;Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H.,\u00a0Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E (or Dum-E), Jonathan Sayer as U,\u00a0Todd Stashwick as Paladin, and Faran Tahir\u00a0as Raza.<\/p>\n<p>VisionQuest\u00a0is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Paul Bettany reveals why Terry Matalas\u2019 vision for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/VisionQuest?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#VisionQuest<\/a> aligns so perfectly with his own \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SaturnAwards?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#SaturnAwards<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GXokUaqFfX\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/GXokUaqFfX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2014 Screen Rant (@screenrant) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/screenrant\/status\/2030832313517609382?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 9, 2026<\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Paul Bettany is not Harry Potter\u2019s next Voldemort, or so he claims \ud83d\udc40\u26a1\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SaturnAwards?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#SaturnAwards<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VSk9q5L2nf\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/VSk9q5L2nf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2014 Screen Rant (@screenrant) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/screenrant\/status\/2030820583123071175?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 9, 2026<\/a>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VisionQuest\u00a0looks set to conclude the trilogy that started with\u00a0WandaVision\u00a0and continued in\u00a0Agatha All Along.
