Paul Bettany Confirms Return as Vision in MCU: What's Next for the Android Avenger?

Paul Bettany has finally confirmed that he will be returning as Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The last time viewers saw Vision was two years ago in the final episode of the Disney+ series Wandavision. In that series, viewers witnessed the birth of White Vision, a new iteration of Vision created from the original Vision's destroyed body thanks to Thanos.

During a panel at Megacon 2024, Bettany responded to a fan's question about his return to the MCU by stating, "Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I return. Yes, 100% sure.

"Fans are eagerly anticipating Vision's return and wondering where they may see him next. Speculation has been circulating about a potential Disney+ series titled Vision Quest, focusing on White Vision's journey to find his place in the world with a reconstructed body and fragmented memories. Rumors suggest that the show may also introduce the Young Avengers to the MCU, with White Vision taking on a mentor role for the budding team of heroes.

Another possibility for Bettany's return as Vision is in the upcoming Wandavision spin-off series, Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, set to premiere on Disney+ later this year. This series will center around the witch Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn, and may feature Joe Locke as the son of Vision and Wanda Maximoff. Additionally, the next Avengers film could be a fitting setting for Vision's return.

While there is no official confirmation on when or where Bettany will reprise his role as Vision, fans can rest assured that the actor has expressed his certainty about returning to the Avengers universe. With various potential projects on the horizon, including Vision Quest and Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, audiences can look forward to seeing more of Vision in the future. As Marvel continues to expand its cinematic universe, the possibilities for Vision's character development and story arcs are endless.

Whether it be through a series, film, or crossover event, fans can anticipate exciting new adventures featuring the iconic android Avenger.
