WandaVision was a big hit for Disney+, which immediately caused a conundrum: usually hits are followed up with more of the same, but WandaVision was designed from Day 1 to be a closed story. The solution? Find unresolved threads from that story and continue things that way. For example, if Agatha’s still out there, give her a show. Agatha: House of Harkness is under production right now. But Agatha won’t be all alone. Deadline broke the news this afternoon that the Vision in WandaVision could be getting his own show too. Paul Bettany, who played the magic-powered bot on both big screens and small, is reported to be returning to the role again in what is being titled Vision Quest. Boy will he be displeased when he finds out what his wife was up to. To recap what state Vision was left in the last time we saw him: Scarlet Witch’s robot husband was not the real deal. He was a conjuring like everything else, a way for Wanda to

It’s easy to look at the Star Wars movie universe and think that everything is fine, after all, The Last Jedi just crossed $500 million dollars at the worldwide box office in less than a week. But, not everything is as smooth as it appears. The Last Jedi is facing some rather divisive critiques from fans, Star Wars Episode IX lost its director, and then brought back J.J.

Yes, incredibly lame pun, I know. Somebody’s gotta say it; might as well be me. Marvel Entertainment announced today, via The Hollywood Reporter, that Paul Bettany has been cast to play The Vision in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Paul Bettany, as some know, is no stranger to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For years, he has portrayed JARVIS, Tony Stark’s robot butler, with his signature British accent, in the Iron Man films as well as The Avengers. This will be the first time he will actually be onscreen, though. Can you envision it? Yes, yes, I’ll stop the puns, I promise. This also seems to imply that the movie may take a different turn than the comic book tradition, as this could mean that JARVIS may become the basis for The Vision, instead of The Vision being a machine created from the ground up by Ultron. In addition to this, The Latino Review is reporting that Carol Danvers, aka “Ms. Marvel” (who Marvel recently rebranded as “Captain Marvel” in the
