Here's Paul Bettany's Response To A Question Regarding Vision Returning To The Marvel Cinematic Universe

A WandaVision spinoff focusing on the White Vision was confirmed back in October 2022 but there's been no word on its development since the announcement.

Vision actor Paul Bettany has confirmed that his Marvel superhero will return to the MCU in some capacity, one day.

Of course, Marvel fans want to know how soon and in what form, but Bettany wasn't willing to divulge any additional details.

If you recall, Thanos ripped the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead after rewinding time in Avengers: Infinity War and S.W.O.R.D. took Vision's body into custody in WandaVision.

Meanwhile, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) loses her grip on reality due to the loss of Vision and the fact that she wasn't able to give him a proper burial. She uses hex magic to create an alternate reality in  Westview, New Jersey where she and Vision are married with two children.

S.W.O.R.D. uses the White Vision to try and free the residents of Westview from Wanda's hex, sending in the newly activated White Vision, who doesn't retain any memories of his previous life.  However, when the White Vision and Hex Vision come into contact, the White Vision acquires the memories of his predecessor and flies off to process his new information.

Other than a few What If...? episodes, that's the last time MCU fans glimpsed Vision in the MCU, in the series finale of WandaVision, which aired on March 5, 2021.

While appearing at  MegaCon 2024 in Orlando, Florida, Bettany was a special guest and during the fan Q&A portion of his panel, he was asked if Vision would ever return to the MCU.

Bettany replied [via The Direct], "[After long pause] Well, yeah... I mean, why wouldn't I? Yes, 100%."

Coming out of WandaVision, a Disney+ spinoff series starring the White Vision was announced but there's been no news since the initial announcement back in October 2022. The series was reportedly going to be titled Vision Quest, per Variety.

WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer was set to return as the head writer for the spinoff. However, all the attention and focus at Marvel is on another WandaVision, spinoff Agatha: Darkhold Diaries. There's been virtually no update on Vision Quest.

In fact, since Vision Quest's announcement back in October 2022, there have been several rumors which purport that Marvel has quietly cancelled the project, so in that context, Bettany's remarks become more intriguing. Disney CEO Bob Iger also stated last year that the company would be looking to reduce spending on Disney+, primarily by reducing its output of Marvel and Star Wars content.

Is Bettany referring to the Disney+ spinoff when he refers to Vision's MCU return or thinking of the next Avengers film, where Earth's Mightiest Heroes will have to seemingly deal with reality incursions (and possibly Kang the Conqueror)?

If they're really doing Young Avengers he should definitely be on the team. I know he's in his 50s, but the character is young (he was only born in 2015) and the new version (who was only born in 2023/2024) was a member in the comics.

@ObserverIO - Would seem like the path of least resistance having Vision part of the team due to source accurate although could go the way of making Clint and his wife head that team (rather than a WCA one) and not include him however no way I see them not having White Vision turnup somewhere at some point.

I think Disney Marvel is doing the Disney Star Wars approach of teasing projects that will never happen in order to get stakeholders invested.

They could simply have the post-credit scene teasing the team-up of Young Avengers be paid off by the Young Avengers just showing up as an already formed team in Avengers 5.

I see it being much more likely they end the MCU in 2028/2029 and then do a full reboot so I doubt we're going to see many more films announced beyond Doctor Strange 3 and perhaps a World War Hulk adaptation.

I agree with some of the other comments the best place for him to return is some kind of an Avengers movie. He doesn’t need his own series but I would love to see him return. I would also love to see a return of the heroic Scarlet Witch. This could be done through demonstrating that she was in thrall the entire time at Westview even if her personality did surface or a Multiverse version of her that becomes part of the 616. I would prefer the former if it could be done in a way that seems plausible, and that is plausible within the realms of a comic book world. Perhaps instead of Agatha, it was Mephisto all along.

@RolandD - Don't you guys read the comics? She was corrupted by the book, just like in the comics. Once she was exorcised from the spirits of the dark hold she just went back to be a regular one. She didn't even miss one comic

they need to get him back, they haven't setup his female replacement yet.

I think you’re all over reacting to nothing. I think he would come back, if invited back to the MCU. Most of the actors love the Disney money, and others could care less about the paycheck, like RDJ. I’m sure if they had a story for him, he might actually do it, if others are also on board with it, especially if he doesn’t have to wear the prosthetics anymore.

Vision is absolutely one of my favorite characters. Totally absurd power set and appearance. When they brought him into the MCU was a turning point. No more black leather costumes and not apologizing for the outlandish nature of some of the characters. No longer worried about being "grounded and gritty".

Anywhere they can squeeze him in is fine with me.

@Goldboink - who would say that a robot character is more human than 90% of the new characters.
Vigor

@Goldboink - I thought the exact same. They went so bold with his design

@Vigor - his origin was great also. Age Of Ultron is underrated
Goldboink

@ProfessorWhy -
The origin was awesome and WandaVision did both the actor and the character proud IMHO. Nothing wrong with Ultron, people just have expectations.

He’s waiting for them to say they will do it all with CGI so he has zero prosthetics

A Vision project could really been something if it is remotely as good as the Tom King comics.

The role literally saved his career. His story about hearing about the part is amazing.

Kinda hope he also shows up in Armor Wars. As for Vision Quest, I don't think that needs to be a full show. Special Presentation is fine too

Most fans don’t want an Agatha or Ironheart show. We want Visionquest.

The more of Bettany’s Vision we get , the better imo!!.

He’s been a highlight of this universe for me since he was properly introduced in AOU , especially after his final scene with Ultron…



I hope Vision Quest is still happening because out of the 2 WV spin-offs , it sounded more interesting to me then the Agatha one…

Bettany having the chance to play a somewhat different version of the character atleast and White Vision’s journey of self discovery still sounds intriguing imo so i hope we get to see it.

The Agatha show is such a waste of time and resources.

I don’t want Marvel content to grind to a halt, but they need to be choosier about what does and doesn’t get developed.

I will be pleasantly surprised if the Agatha show has any wider ramifications that affect anything in the bigger picture in the long run.

WandaVision gets a lot of flack but it was very uinque and for the most part well written. The ship of Thesesus was brilliant. Of course two Visions would end up in a pyscological debate. Really, the series faltered when they didnt stick the landing. They let Wanda off the hook because they had to get her to the next movie. Had they made her pay a consequence or Strange and some Avengers came to lock her up, I think it would have been received better.
