VISION TV Series Rumored To Include Elizabeth Olsen's MCU Return As Scarlet Witch Alongside Ultron

Earlier today, we learned that Avengers: Age of Ultron star James Spader is returning as Ultron in the Vision TV series. Now, the trades are reporting that there’s a chance we’ll see the Scarlet Witch too!

WandaVision has spawned more sequels than any other Disney+ TV series; the Scarlet Witch's story continued in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, while next month will see the release of Agatha All Along

Looking beyond that, a new Vision TV series - previously rumoured to be titled Vision Quest - is taking shape which promises to pick up with the android after he was resurrected by S.W.O.R.D. (minus his emotions). The Hex Vision did, however, restore his doppelganger's memories. 

There's a story to be told there and it's widely believed we'll see the Avenger create a new android family similar to Tom King's award-winning Vision comic book run. 

However, it's not just Ultron that Vision will cross paths with in the show as he rebuilds his life. Following today's confirmation that James Spader is returning as the villainous android, Deadline reports, "While the focus is on Vision, we also heard there is a possibility for Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) to appear, which would make sense given how interconnected the two characters' stories are in the MCU."

This comes after The Hollywood Reporter described Vision as "the third part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision and continues in Agatha All Along." If that series reveals what became of Wanda Maximoff after she vanished in the Doctor Strange sequel, then the stage will be set for her and the android to reunite...perhaps to do battle with their old foe, Ultron!

Vision and Wanda's love story is epic, so this show potentially bringing them together in time for the next Avengers movies is an exciting prospect. 

Earlier this year, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige commented on why Star Trek: Picard season 3's Terry Matalas has been tapped as the Disney+ series' showrunner. 

"That’s how I got to know him," he started. "It was from his amazing [work on Picard Season 3. I said: This is incredible. I don't know how this exists. Let me find the person who made this."

The show's third season received widespread critical acclaim and several awards. Feige is a well-known Trekkie and previously appeared alongside Matalas on a two-hour episode of the Star Trek podcast Inglorious Treksperts

As for Olsen, it was last year when she said, "Specifically in the last four years, my output has been Marvel. I don’t want...it’s not that I don’t want to be associated as just this character. But I really feel like I need to be building other parts back up for balance."

"I so much want to do films right now. And I hope some of them come together in the way I feel like they can. But yeah, that’s something that I need. I just need other characters in my life," the actress added. "There’s no longevity in one character."

Vision doesn't currently have a confirmed premiere date.

Olsen and Bettany are fantastic together; would be a real shame to pass up on them sharing the screen. Plus, I don't know if a Vision show on it's own is warranted enough (at least until we know more).

@IAmAHoot - I was reading comics when he was introduced and loved him as an Avenger but not on his own. Bettany has created a great character that people want to spend time with but maybe not that much time.

I guess it’s time for our monthly SW rumor…

I feel like we get the unconfirmed report that Elizabeth Olsen will be back as SW frequently in various projects so they’ll get it right for one eventually lol.

However I could buy her showing up in Vision , especially if Billy in Agatha All Along is trying to get through the Witches Road to save Wanda who is trapped at the end of it..

Her being freed and showing up in Vision would be a nice culmination to that mini arc that started in WV (or really MoM) , even moreso if her other “son” Tommy is there too as rumored.

Anyway , I have liked Elizabeth Olsen in the role aswell as this version of SW so I’m down for more!!.

Please 🙏 I need more of the Scarlet Witch in my life. Having her appear and Ultron would redeem the usually dismal Disney Plus output.

I’m all for them reuniting, they’re in my top 10 favorite characters of the MCU.

BUT

Why in a Disney + series ?

Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to see that on the big screen ?

Idk man Wanda and Vision deserve better.

They’ve been in this for 10 years !

Disney + shows are so low quality since WandaVision and Falcon And The Winter Soldier, that I don’t really think making them reunite here is such a good idea.

Unless they have the budget and very competent directors as well as good writers.

@MisterDoctor217 - Loki seasons 1 and 2 were top notch quality and so was Moon Knight.

Oh yeah I forgot about Loki!!

Season 2 definitely was good albeit kinda slow at the beginning.

If done right this could be a very interesting Saga that began with Wandavision and continued with Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Agatha All Along, and concludes with The Vision. I do like the concept of little micro sagas existing within a wider saga. But Marvel Studios definitely needs to sell that concept better. Maybe with each release put on the front "The _____ saga" for the saga that specific entry continues with and then bundle each saga into the grander saga of the narrative. For example:

Iron Man
Iron Man 2
Thor
Captain America
The Avengers
Captain America The Winter Soldier

Could be labeled "The SHIELD saga".

The real question is whether they will have her and Simon become sneaky links moving forward. Let’s see how much damage ole Vis’ OS can handle when they drop that storyline.

How are they gonna try to square Wanda becoming a straight up cold blooded killer because she couldn't have kids, or are we just supposed to forget about that?
MisterDoctor217
MisterDoctor217 - 8/23/2024, 6:01 PM
@Feralwookiee -

Everyone forgot about Loki being a genocidal maniac in the Loki tv show 🤷‍♂️

But that aside they gave him a good redemption arc and they could do the same for Wanda.
TheRogue

@Feralwookiee - What do you mean lol. They havent said she will be a hero, they havent said anything. We don't even know any plot details.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 8/23/2024, 7:14 PM
@MisterDoctor217 - Nobody forgot that he was a diabolical killer. The entire storyline in season 1 was about that and Loki eventually saw that it's a cycle with every Loki and he opted to break it and become something more.
TheRogue
TheRogue - 8/23/2024, 8:27 PM
@SonOfAGif - Thats his point, loki was redeemed.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 8/23/2024, 9:16 PM
@TheRogue - Has he though? While him holding the Multiverse together and allowing free will and chaos to coexist seems noble at first. Look at the consequences of what's coming. Incursions upon Incursions. Universes colliding killing trillions upon trillions of life including so many variants of himself and his brother and friends and their friends and families. As noble as it seemed. Loki made a choice that will cause consequences.
MisterDoctor217
MisterDoctor217 - 8/23/2024, 9:36 PM
@SonOfAGif -

And they could do the same for Wanda….

What I’m saying is , nobody complained about Loki being a killer or irredeemable when they announced his show. He killed thousands and one of the closest people to The Avenger's at that point : Phil Coulson.
Because he's a morally gray character, just like Wanda.
She started out on Ultron's side and was slowly taken in by the Avengers.
even in the avengers she struggled, but having Vision made her see life through another lens.

They could give her a redemption arc just like Loki.

TheRogue
TheRogue - 8/24/2024, 12:47 AM
@SonOfAGif - Lol I know you think thats deep, but not quite. He is still doing it for good and trillions live because of him, for good reason. He did redeem himself.
JustAWaffle
JustAWaffle - 8/24/2024, 4:34 AM
@MisterDoctor217 - Loki was a different situation. He had a redemption arc in the main timeline, but the Loki show was a variant who had another redemption arc that took him on the path of a protagonist. It’s tough to see that for Wanda, but it’s definitely possible.
MisterDoctor217
MisterDoctor217 - 8/24/2024, 6:01 AM
@JustAWaffle -

How is it different for Wanda tho?


They both did terrible things and yet Loki is one of the MCU’s most beloved characters.

So is Wanda.

They have been fleshing out her character for various movies now.
She’s in her Villain era , so it’s only logical they’d give her a redemption arc now.

Just like in the comics. Wanda has always been a wild card.
JustAWaffle
JustAWaffle - 8/24/2024, 11:43 AM
@JustAWaffle - I suppose, but Wanda is still v.1, so the question is, where is the justice?

Loki got his eventually, but Wanda definitely survived the collapse.

I don’t know. I can see it, but it’s a harder case to bring her back as a protagonist.
JustAWaffle
JustAWaffle - 8/24/2024, 11:45 AM
@MisterDoctor217 - Dat was for you, but for some reason I responded to myself 🤦🏻‍♂️🫃
MisterDoctor217
MisterDoctor217 - 8/24/2024, 3:52 PM
@JustAWaffle -

Where was Loki’s justice in season 1 tho?


You could say he got his justice in season 2 by having to keep the multiverse together for eternity but he still hadn’t gotten host justice from the Avengers or Earth for killing thousands and Agent Coulson.


Wanda can definitely come back as a protagonist.

I really don’t understand why they cut Loki some slack on this website but as soon as Wanda is mentioned it’s “oh no! She’s irredeemable! She can’t come back”

Like what’s the difference between both ?

Loki killed for power and jealousy, and Wanda killed to get her kids.

I genuinely don’t get it.
Why can’t Wanda be a well liked Villain too?

I think she already is anyway. She’s definitely the most popular female character in the MCU right now and also is wager the reason Multiverse Of Madness almost got to a billion
TheRogue
TheRogue - 8/24/2024, 4:01 PM
@JustAWaffle - Loki had a redemption in ragnarok, and his loki version still did the majority of his kills.
