Paul Bettany Weighs in on ‘Agatha All Along’ and Reveals Vision Series Begins Shooting Next Year

Paul Bettany is teasing a few details about his upcoming Marvel series, marking his return as Vision for the show reportedly set to arrive on Disney+ in 2026.

Bettany is reprising his role as the android who fell in love with the Scarlett Witch (played by Elizabeth Olsen) and then was destroyed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. In WandaVision, he returned via magic and the power of grief but also as a rebuilt android, now ghostly white.

At the L.A. premiere of his new movie Here on Friday, Bettany told The Hollywood Reporter that the show will start shooting next year and “we’re cooking up something that I’m really excited about,” joking he couldn’t reveal more because “snitches end up in ditches.”

The actor also offered his thoughts on the currently streaming Agatha All Along, a WandaVision spinoff series that follows Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness.

“I love it. I love it and I’m so proud of [showrunner] Jac Schaeffer and I am going to watch again because there’s so much for me to learn moving forward into my contribution,” Bettany said.

The untitled Vision series will also see the return of James Spader’s Ulton — a sentient being created by Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, to act as a defense program but that instead turned against humanity, as seen in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron. Star Trek: Picard’s Terry Matalas is serving as showrunner.

For now, Bettany is appearing alongside Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Kelly Reilly and Michelle Dockery in Robert Zemeckis’s Here, a single-shot film that takes place entirely in one room and follows multiple generations of families.

The star said he’s never read any script like it, and “as I’m reading it, I’m beginning to figure out that I’m playing Tom Hanks’ dad, and there’s this thing going on in my head going, ‘How’s that going to work? They’ll figure it out!’ And Bob Zemeckis figured it out. And then we got to play and have so much fun chewing out my son Tom Hanks. He’s America’s dad and I’m America’s granddad.”
