Vision Quest is set to hit Disney+ soon, but not soon enough
We all cheered when the rumors about Vision making a grand comeback surfaced, but now we actually have some news to celebrate.
According to a new report by Variety, Vision Quest isn't just any ol’ revival - this is shaping up to be a spectacle you won't want to miss. Marvel has pulled a real ace from their sleeve by snagging Terry Matalas, the maestro behind Star Trek: Picard, to breathe new life into our favorite synthezoid, Vision, with a brand new series set to hit Disney+ in 2026.
Now, remember how our hearts were all twisted up when Thanos went all grim reaper on Vision in Avengers: Infinity War? And then, just when you thought your tear ducts had recovered, WandaVision hit us with not one, but two Visions - talk about a double-vision experience. The upcoming Disney+ series will pick up after those tear-jerking antics, with our ghostly white, memory-restored Vision questing to find his new purpose. Existential crisis galore, from a sentient AI, no less.
And who better to guide Vision through his identity labyrinth than Terry Matalas? After his stellar work in the redeeming third season of Star Trek: Picard, which practically had Trekkies and non-Trekkies alike cheering from their couches, it's no wonder Marvel handed him the reins. Plus, Marvel boss Kevin Feige, a self-confessed Trekkie, must be over the moon. It's like getting the best of both galaxies - Marvel and Star Trek! If y'all know anything about me, you know I am a huge fan of both franchises and this little collab makes me happy.
But wait, there's more spice to this story. This series won't just be another notch on Marvel's belt - t's signaling a major shift in how they're rolling out their TV magic. I'm talking about a return to good ol’ showrunning, where writer-producers hold the creative torch from start to finish. Marvel's even putting a fancy new label on it - Marvel Television. It's like they're saying, "We're not just about blockbuster hits; we're about crafting stories that stick." And by slowing down the production conveyor belt from four to two shows a year, it sounds like they're really aiming to hit us with quality over quantity. About. Damn. Time.
So, what can we expect from Vision Quest? Heart, humor, a dash of existential pondering, and undoubtedly some top-notch, Matalas-flavored drama. It's like Christmas came early for Marvel fans, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what twists, turns, and time-travel this new series has in store for us.
