VISION QUEST Showrunner Terry Matalas Confirms Show's Place In MCU Timeline; Full List Of Writers Revealed

Vision Quest showrunner Terry Matalas has talked about his approach to the upcoming Disney+ series, revealing where it falls in the MCU's timeline. We also have a list of confirmed writers for the series.

Vision Quest will finally reveal what became of White Vision in the aftermath of WandaVision. In that series, the Avenger was resurrected (minus his emotions) by S.W.O.R.D., and seemingly regained his memories after crossing paths with the Hex's Vision.

Given his current status quo, there's a ton of storytelling potential with the character. Plus, with Ultron, Jocasta, and Tommy Maximoff all expected to factor into the story, it stands a chance of being one of the most impactful MCU TV shows on Disney+ to date. 

During a recent interview with Katee Sackhoff, Vision Quest showrunner Terry Matalas shared what he could about his approach to the WandaVision and Agatha All Along follow-up and how he expanded on what Marvel Studios was looking for from the series.

"There was a kind of logline that was very specific," he started. "Kinda like 'It’s this, this, and this.' But there were a thousand ways to do exactly that. I’m trying to figure out how to vaguely respond to you, but it was an opportunity to be like, 'Okay, if you want to do this, then you kinda also want to do this, this, and this.' And it became this very collaborative experience that’s just been really wonderful."

"And it doesn’t have to be with the biggest, most successful studios of all time. It’s been a really wonderful creative experience, and I think we are making something really special," Matalas added. "It’s also scary because they are like, 'Go do that crazy thing you wanna do.' And I’m, like, 'Oh, wow, it’s a big stage to take a big swing on.' But I think we’re in a really good place."

While he was clearly choosing his words carefully, it's good to hear that the 12 Monkeys and Star Trek: Picard scribe is confident with how Vision Quest is shaping up. 

Elsewhere in the conversation, Matalas also confirmed the show's place in the MCU timeline. "The timeline is definitely navigated. At the end of WandaVision, the original Vision was rebuilt and weaponized, and then had a moment of discovery and acceptance of who he was. Then [he] flew off. [Vision Quest] is following that character, and that character’s journey."

So, an obvious explanation, but one that's welcomed nonetheless (after all, no one was asking for a look back at Vision's time under S.W.O.R.D.'s control).

In related news, thanks to the WGAW website, we also have a list of confirmed writers for the show:

  • Michael Taylor (Star Trek: Deep Space 9, Battlestar Galactica)
  • Chris Monfette (12 Monkeys, Star Trek: Picard)
  • Cindy Appel (Star Trek: Picard)
  • Matt Okumura (Star Trek: Picard, Interior Chinatown)
  • Terry Matalas (12 Monkeys, Star Trek: Picard)

You can watch the full interview with Matalas below. Vision Quest is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.

So it takes place after WandaVision? Totally unexpected.

Anywau, wonder when we'll see this. My guess is early 2027. That'd put roughly three years between each entry in the Westview trilogy (if we can call it that).

@bkmeijer1 - I’m assuming we see it sometime next year tbh.

bkmeijer1 - 5/23/2025, 6:15 AM
@TheVisionary25 - could be the case too. Aside from Vision, only new seasons of Daredevil, X-Men '97 and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will premiere, so it's not really a packed slate anymore
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/23/2025, 6:27 AM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah , I think the new yearly output is said to be…

3 movies maximum

1-2 live action shows

2 animated.

bkmeijer1 - 5/23/2025, 6:36 AM
@TheVisionary25 - wasn't that already the case? Thought they confirmed it would go to 3-2-2.

Either way, I think that's a solid output. Could throw in a special presentation here and there too.

Will this series assemble the Young Avengers with Star Lord?

"It’s also scary because they are like, 'Go do that crazy thing you wanna do.' And I’m, like, 'Oh, wow, it’s a big stage to take a big swing on.' But I think we’re in a really good place."

That could be a Young Avengers/Chris Pratt thing. And we have seen the Young Avengers (or Champions) in concept art with Star Lord, whether that was for this show or Doomsday/Secret Wars we don't really know. Maybe they're doing that on this show. It would make sense since the newly created "Young" Vision was a founding member of the Young Avengers in the comics.

Freakin love 12 Monkeys and Terry Matalas. Interested to find out if this means Todd Stashwick is joining the MCU.

I could see it being like Dr. Manhattan reflecting on his place in the world before Vision finally settles somewhere, and the plot moves forward.

Not surprising it takes place after WandaVision and follows Whote Vision but glad to have confirmation regardless…

Also I like how he describes Marvel’s creative process in that they do usually have an idea about what story they want to tell or atleast points they want to hit but how that unfolds is up to the creatives involved via collaboration with the former which some storytellers like and some don’t since they would rather tell the story they want to tell from the ground up which is fair.

Anyway looking forward to the show , especially with James Spader returning as Ultron!!.

This is going to be a very interesting watch for me, as i loved Picard season 3 it was a perfect love letter to Next Gen Fans and Matalas is very very talented because at his core he's a fellow nerd, He's got a knowledge and fans perpestive of the source material and he's one of those types like a Ronald D Moore (BSG Remake TNG) that knows how to tell a great story.

feels like they've missed their timing with this one and should have been alot sooner after Wandavision?
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 5/23/2025, 7:24 AM
@DemonTweeks - perhaps but they could pick up with Vision after WV and see what he did immediately after that…

It doesn’t have to be a timeskip

@DemonTweeks - It should have taken Agathas slot.

Picard S3 is the best Star Trek thing since the 90s.

If FF flops this won't ever happen. I like Vision but don't want to sit through a dedicated series. Especially if it's sh*t like most D+ shows.

Why do we need Tommy in this? My guess is Vision, Ultron and Jacosta are mostly in human form for Budget reasons. I wouldnt be shocked if Jacosta is the villain and Ultron teams up with Vision. Marvel is hooked on female villains now.
