Marvel Studios

Marvel Studios’ untitled Vision series will be a follow-up series to its acclaimed WandaVision (and connect to Agatha All Along).

The new show is eying a shoot in England in early 2025.

Terry Matalas, the much-heralded showrunner of Star Trek: Picard, is spearheading the new show.

Only Paul Bettany (White Vision) and James Spader (Ultron) have been announced so far.

"So if there’s a good way to use her I’m always happy to come back, however they can make that make sense,” Olsen admitted.

"(...) I just need more, other characters in my life. There’s no longevity in one character.”

Produced by Kevin Feige and Louis D'Esposito from a script by Jack Schaeffer and Megan McDonnell. Elizabeth Olsen reprises her role as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch. No director is attached yet. Release date TBA.

Agatha All Along premieres next Wednesday on September 18th at 9PM EST with two episodes, weekly thereafter until Oct 30th when the final two episodes air.

Predictions? Thoughts? Mephisto?

Edit: Extra hype thread

~~Paywalled article, but I copy-pasted from someone who has access:~~

~~If Beyond the Spider-Verse was hitting theaters next summer, we would’ve heard about it by now, as Sony would’ve assigned it a release date.~~

~~2026 seems perfectly doable, but I’m told that it would be extremely unlikely that Sony would want to release an animated Spider-Man movie and a live-action Spider-Man movie in the same calendar year, as the studio is better off staggering those two franchises.~~

~~So not only is 2027 more likely for that reason alone, but over Labor Day Weekend, I heard that Sony scrapped most of Beyond the Spider-Verse for creative reasons, and because of that decision, the movie would be unlikely to debut before 2027 given the detailed animation it requires.~~

~~While the Beyond the Spider-Verse team was taken aback by the change in direction, I’m told they’re relieved to have more time to work on the sequel, as it’s important to all involved that they stick the landing on this Oscar-winning franchise.~~

UPDATE: This information may not be accurate. Daniel Pemberton, composer of the first two Spider-Verse movies, had this to say:

Don’t really ever want to weigh in on this sort of stuff BUT would you ever believe there could sometimes be stuff on the internet that might not always be particularly accurate? Hmmmm…

The Multiverse Saga ends with Avengers: Secret Wars, set for release on May 7, 2027.

What are your predictions for the next saga?

(I take this as CGI being of course present, but taking a backseat to support the practical effects)
