Marvel Television’s VisionQuest is coming to Disney+ on October 14, as announced at the D23 fan event.

The series conclude the epic trilogy that began with 2021’s groundbreaking, award-winning WandaVision and 2024’s acclaimed Agatha All Along.

The Vision himself, Paul Bettany, and Ultron, James Spader, joined Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige at the event to tease fans with a first look trailer and poster for the upcoming series.

In VisionQuest, a rebooted Vision has been in hiding, having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him.

Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron.

His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate.

As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron’s influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.

Deeper dive into Ultron

Having VisionQuest allows for a deeper dive into Spader’s Ultron after becoming the main protagonist in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.

While the AI entity has appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — offering a glimpse of what could have been if Tony Stark’s ‘suit of armor around the world’ plan had succeeded — as well as in What If…?, the upcoming series promises a far more in-depth exploration of his character within the core MCU timeline.

Discussions have also pointed out that the WandaVision trilogy is an essential and required viewing to understand Avengers: Secret Wars, which of course will be set up by Avengers: Doomsday later this year.

Aside from Bettany and Spader, VisionQuest stars Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T’Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire and James D’Arcy.

Kingdom Hearts is getting its own anime series on Disney+, as announced at the D23 fan event.

It is developed in partnership with the action RPG video game creator Tetsuya Nomura and the creative team at Square Enix.

The series will reimagine the iconic adventure with a brand-new story that will expand on the universe of Kingdom Hearts. This, while celebrating the characters that have resonated with millions of fans around the world.

The collaborative franchise has spanned more than two decades, featuring crossovers of various Disney properties as well as appearances by characters from the Square Enix titles like Final Fantasy.

The TV series adds to the transmedia which includes manga series, soundtracks, action figures, and a collectible card game.

Kingdom Hearts joins a growing slate of original animated series for Disney+, including Dragon Striker, Phineas and Ferb, Big City Greens, and the upcoming Messi and the Giants, Warrior Cats, and Journey.

The box office performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been nothing short of spectacular.

Sony Pictures’ fourth feature film featuring Tom Holland as the titular protagonist broke the domestic opening day record.

This feat narrowly beat the previous record set by another Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film in Avengers Endgame.

That strong opening continued in the next few weeks as Brand New Day became became the fastest to reach the US$ 500 million mark, breaching the milestone in just seven days, per LA Times.

The movie is already the highest grossing film of 2026, beating Toy Story 5.

Which such massive success so far, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on pace to beat Avengers: Infinity War for worldwide total gross.

With over US$ 1.7 billion grossed in just two weeks, the film is projected to surpass any point between the US$ 2.1 billion to US$ 2.3 billion mark.

It will become only the eighth ever film to surpass that mark once it reaches at least US$ 2 billion.

The others are: Avatar (2009), Endgame (2019), Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), Ne Zha (2025), Titanic (1997), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), and Infinity War (2018).

However, Endgame still holds an advantage, thanks to its international launch in major markets. The epic conclusion to the MCU’s Infinity Saga grossed US$ 2.79 billion during its 2019 run. And you will have to adjust that value slightly due to inflation.

In the Philippines, a strong market, Brand New Day has just eclipsed the PhP 1 billion mark, which is roughly about US$ 17.2 billion.

For comparison, it will definitely surpass Infinity War at some point, while Endgame grossed PhP 1.8 billion total or about US$ 34.56 billion at the time.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 experiences resurgence

Moreover, the film’s success also triggered a transmedia halo effect with Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 also experiencing a resurgence in sales and player engagement.

Per IGN citing Alinea Analytics, since the film’s release, the game sold over 300,000 more copies across PlayStation 5 and Steam within a two-week span.

This is the equivalent to over US$ 11 million in revenue for Sony and Insomniac Games.

Plus, for the first time since the title’s launch in 2023, it experienced more than one million daily active users.

A combination of movie hype plus some timely discounts contributed to the game’s resurgence, also proving that the Spider-Man franchise has always been one of the biggest and most relevant IPs of all time.
