Development

In March 2009, Marvel Studios hired writers to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser-known properties, including Vision,[2] and Paul Bettany was later cast as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) incarnation of Vision. After Vision's death in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Bettany was revealed to be portraying a reassembled and reactivated version of Vision in the Disney+ series WandaVision (2021), referred to as "White Vision" or "The Vision",[3][4][5] and bears an all-white appearance, similar to when the comic book character was resurrected with an all-white body and no memories or emotions.[3] In May 2021, WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer signed a three-year overall television deal with Marvel Studios and 20th Television to develop additional projects for the studios' Disney+ content.[6] By October 2022, Marvel Studios was developing a television series centered on Vision called Vision Quest,[7][1] which would be centered on Bettany's "White Vision" and have Schaeffer serve as head writer after working on another WandaVision spin-off, Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (2024).[1] A Vision-centric series had been rumored to be in development as early as March 2021.[8] The series shares the name of a late 1980s Marvel Comics storyline in West Coast Avengers,[7][9] although Jeff Sneider of Above the Line reported it was unclear if it would serve as a direct adaptation.[7] Executive producers of the series include Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige and Mary Livanos, alongside Schaeffer.[10][better source needed] 20th Television also produces the series.[10][additional citation(s) needed]
