Marvel’s VisionQuest Arrives on Disney+ With Eight‑Episode Release Plan

The series places Vision against embedded Stark‑era AIs and a returned Ultron to probe identity and memory after his resurrection.

Overview

  • Disney+ will begin streaming VisionQuest as a multi‑week rollout that starts Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026 with the first two episodes available at local release times.
  • The season comprises eight episodes released in a staggered pattern: episodes 1–2 on Oct. 14, 3–4 on Oct. 21, 5–6 on Oct. 28, episode 7 on Nov. 4 and the finale on Nov. 11.
  • Paul Bettany returns as Vision and James Spader reprises the voice of Ultron, with Ruaridh Mollica cast as Thomas Shepard and Terry Matalas serving as showrunner.
  • Marvel’s official synopsis lays out a plot in which Vision rebuilds his sense of self while interacting with AIs tied to Tony Stark (J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H.) and contending with Ultron's influence, and notes a reported but unconfirmed link between Thomas Shepard and Tommy Maximoff.
  • The release timing and paired episode drops mean global conversations will be staggered by time zones and could concentrate attention on the early double‑episode weeks before the two single‑episode finales.
