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.

As far as films in concert go, The Lord of the Rings is the classic experience for fans. Since 2008, the concert experience has been touring the globe, enamoring fans of the series with live renditions of Howard Shore’s iconic soundtrack. Now, the experience is finally arriving in Manila. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert will run in the Philippines from March 4 through 6 next year.

There’s a reason why the iconic trilogy is the classic experience for films in concert. Besides being a legendary film franchise, the series features Howard Shore’s Academy Award-winning score. Fans will likely still recognize the dulcet strings of the Shire or the grandiose crescendo of the Fellowship.

From March 4 to 6, The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert will run at The Theatre in Solaire. Under the baton of Reuben Blundell, the concert will star the 96-member Filharmonika Orchestra, the Philippine Madrigal Singers’ 100-member adult choir and 50-member boys’ choir, and soloist Malena Rampi.
