RUMOR: VISION Disney+ Series Could Feature Members Of The WEST COAST AVENGERS

Following on from reports that Elizabeth Olsen might return as the Scarlet Witch for the Disney+ Vision series, we're hearing that members of the West Coast Avengers may also appear...

We recently got word that Avengers: Age of Ultron star James Spader is set to return as the titular villain for the planned Disney+ Vision series, and the trade report strongly hinted that Elizabeth Olsen will also reprise her WandaVision role as Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch.

Daniel Richtman followed-up by claiming that Olsen was "a lock" for a Marvel project that will film in 2025 (it's worth noting that Avengers: Doomsday is also scheduled to begin shooting next year), and mentioned that the Vision show will "have elements of West Cost Avengers."

Now, the scooper is reporting that members of the WCA might feature in the WandaVision spin-off.

This chapter of Earth's Mightiest Heroes was formed by Hawkeye in the '80s, and while numerous members have come and gone over the years, the original line-up included Vision, Mockingbird, Wonder Man, Tigra, and Iron Man (with Rhodey in the armor)

If this is accurate, it obviously suggests that the groundwork will be laid for the team's formations down the line, and possibly even a West Coast Avengers movie or series.

We found out earlier this year that the show had been revamped, with Star Trek: Picard executive producer Terry Matalas now on board as showrunner. The series is currently on track for a 2026 premiere.

Matalas' work on Picard is said to have "greatly impressed the top brass at the studio. Marvel chief Kevin Feige, an avowed Trekkie, even recently appeared with Matalas on a two-hour episode of the Star Trek podcast Inglorious Treksperts.”

Bettany will reprise his role as the MCU's tragic synthezoid, and the story is expected to focus on "ghost Vision exploring his new purpose in life."

The finale of WandaVision revealed that the Vision we'd been spending time with over the course of the season was actually one of Wanda's constructs, but the real, "White Vision" was rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. and programmed to track down and kill the Scarlet Witch. This version of the character away to parts unknown towards the end of the episode after declaring himself to be the "true Vision."

As for Wanda, last we saw of the powerful sorceress, she was laying waste to the Illuminati and bringing a mountain down on top of herself in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Previous Vision Quest rumors claimed that Vision's children, Vin and Viv, would make their MCU debuts in the show, but we have no idea which - if any - ideas from Jac Schaefer's incarnation of the series will carry over. Euphoria alum Javon Walton is rumored to be up for the role of "Teen" (most likely Speed).

"Marvel Studios' WandaVision blends the style of classic sitcoms with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision – two super-powered beings living their ideal suburban life – begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems."

In addition to Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as the leads, WandaVision stars Kathryn Hahn, Teyonah Parris, Debra Jo Rupp, Randall Park, and Kat Dennings. Following the success of the series, an "Agatha: Coven of Chaos" spin-off featuring the return of Hahn as Agatha Harkness was announced. We recently learned that this show would actually be titled Agatha All Along.

I doubt they're gonna introduce Tigra this late in the game, but I could see the Bartons, War Machine and Wonder Man show up in this.

@lvcl - I doubt they will. The previous Mockingbird show didn't get off the ground either, but I could see a future team-up between Hawkeye and Agent 13

@bkmeijer1 - Tigra could easily pop up, especially with the Mutant era on the horizon.

@bkmeijer1 - The biggest problem with Tigra is how terrible most catlike people tend to look in live action movies. I can’t think of an example of them looking good, unless you’d include Avatar. I wouldn’t though because they may look a bit cat like, but they are aliens in an alien world rather than a cat/human hybrid in our world. That hasn’t worked out so well for the movies that have tried it.

@mountainman - I think Tigra is fairly easy to pull off if the only difference from a human character is skin color and those marks

@bkmeijer1 - Having a human vs cat like face does help. But thinking of the two biggest examples at the top of my mind - Cheetah and the movie Cats, the characters looked bad even besides their faces.

I like Tigra and would love her adapted. I just don’t want the ugly CGI character like we’ve seen before.

I was a huge Thundercats fan as a kid and I’m potentially excited that we are getting a movie version. But I have this same concern for that movie if they go Live action instead of animated.

The previous project was a standalone show, but with other West Coast Avengers like, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, War Machine, Wonder man, Moon Knight, America Chavez, Kate Bishop, and maybe others like Tigra, it could be a huge success.

bkmeijer1 - 8/30/2024, 2:01 AM
@mountainman - yeah, Cheetah and Cats looked horrible. And I think Thundercats isn't gonna be much different.

Out of all characters though, I think Tigra is relatively easy to adapt.

@lvcl - I think so too, and I rather would've seem that as a phase-capper instead of Thunderbolts. Maybe in Phase 7

That would be cool , hopefully it’s done well if true and doesn’t make the show feel overstuffed…

I do doubt Clint starts the West Coast Avengers in this since this version would rather just be with his family until he gets pulled into something (which could be the case here).

It would be cool atleast to get Linda Cardellini’s Laura Barton more to do since Hawkeye revealed that she was seemingly a former SHIELD agent too and had the Alias “Agent 19” which is one of Mockingbirds in the comics..

Granted , we have had Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse in AOS but if they decide to make Laura Mockingbird in this too then this could be a way to do (unless 19 and Mickingbird are seperate characters in the MCU).

I would be down to get a West Coast Avengers team though since post SW , I hope there are more then just the Avengers or Thunderbolts.

@TheVisionary25 - I'm guessing Agent 19 and Mockingbird are different characters.

And I could see both Agent 19 and Hawkeye be part of, if not leading the WCA. Maybe to train the next generation of heroes.

I think it'd be pretty cool if Hawkeye put together the West Coast Avengers since we'd last seen him.

Having mentored Kate in their D+ show, maybe it inspired him to put together a team so that he has the opportunity to be with his family more. I'd be very okay with a Clint that acts as more of a leader (especially since Renner was injured) to a team, than being in the dirt himself.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/29/2024, 10:17 AM
@RedFury - that’s a good point

Maybe Kate has renewed him so having a Hawkeye who is more of the team leader then in the field (while sometimes getting in the mud himself) could be cool

They were already playing on the toll his escapades have had on him with the hearing aids but you could push it further physically too since he just can’t do it now much realistically
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 8/29/2024, 11:22 AM
@RedFury - exactly what I was thinking. He's kinda the man in the chair for this team. Maybe even together with his wife to train this new batch of heroes
RedFury
RedFury - 8/29/2024, 12:23 PM
@TheVisionary25 - yeah it seems like it would be a logical next step for him with where we saw him last. They gave Hawkeye a fatherly vibe within the MCU with how he approached Wanda and Pietro, and then again with Kate. So I think him leading a team would really fit his journey.
RedFury
RedFury - 8/29/2024, 12:25 PM
@bkmeijer1 - oh that would be a nice addition having his wife in the mix as well. Plus this way we get to keep Renner in the MCU, and still have an important role. I can't imagine he'll be able to do a huge amount of stunt stuff with his injury anyways, so this seems like a good fit.

bkmeijer1 - 8/30/2024, 2:39 AM
@RedFury - yeah, she already took Mockingbird's other moniker anyway. Neither of them doesn't indeed need to be in the action

One correction: Vision was not part of the original lineup, but he was responsible for the founding of the team when he selected Hawkeye to be the leader of a new West Coast branch of the Avengers.

He and Mockingbird were the first two members of a planned 6 person team.
Tigra, Iron Man II and Wonder Man soon joined.
The original mini-series ended with the team being incomplete with 5 members instead of six.
