As a die-hard Marvel fan who has spent countless hours poring over comics and theories, I am beyond excited about the upcoming Vision series! The hints of Scarlet Witch’s return, possibly her kids setting up a Young Avengers arc, and the potential villainous turn she might take have me on the edge of my seat.

For enthusiasts of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch and the series “WandaVision,” the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe project titled “Vision” could prove to be an exciting development. A recent call for casting in this project suggests that it may further deepen the character arc of Scarlet Witch, as well as bring significant changes to the wider Marvel Universe.

Since the conclusion of the Disney+ series “Wandavision” and the departure of Vision from the Marvel Studios franchise, there’s been considerable curiosity about where the character has been. However, the focus of the project has shifted towards what new elements it could bring to the franchise rather than resolving Vision’s fate. One intriguing possibility that fans are eagerly anticipating is the reappearance of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch, a comeback that has been widely debated by both insiders and fans. Speculation ranges from a techno-organic resurrection to another villainous arc. Regardless of her role, it’s clear that if she appears in “Vision,” it won’t be the final chapter of her MCU story.

In contrast to James Spader’s Ultron potentially leaving a big impact in the “Vision” series, recent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) updates hint strongly that Wanda will actually emerge as the main character advancing the franchise. Notably, according to Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is actively seeking a young teen actor for a significant co-leading role in the forthcoming Vision series. However, this tidbit becomes even more intriguing when considering the events from “Agatha All Along.

Similar to “Vision” and “Agatha All Along”, the latter is a spin-off of “WandaVision” and follows the storyline established within that series. The show has recently unveiled that the enigmatic teenage character is none other than Billy Maximoff, better recognized by some comic book enthusiasts as Wiccan, the son of Scarlet Witch. In “Agatha All Along”, we witness the intricate transformation of William Kaplan into Billy, his rise to his powers, and potential motivations that could shape his journey within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Given the foundation laid in “Wandavision” and the characters introduced, it’s quite probable that the teen character cast for a role in the “Vision” series will be Wanda’s other son, Tommy.

Tom (also known as Speed) has been a sidekick to his brother in the comic book world for quite some time now. Their family member, Quicksilver, also shares their powerset. The recent unveiling of Billy’s identity on “Agatha All Along” sparked curiosity among fans about Tommy’s current whereabouts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and even speculation regarding the whereabouts of the two children and their mother. In terms of the latter, several storylines and arcs from the comics may be adapted for the live-action franchise. One intriguing possibility is the debut of the Young Avengers in the MCU, as both Billy and Tommy are significant members of this team under their superhero personas of Wiccan and Speed respectively. What’s even more thrilling is the prospect of Wiccan leading to the events of the comic book story arc “Avengers: The Children’s Crusade,” in which the character embarks on a quest to locate his mother when his powers become uncontrollable.

In the current structure of power within the MCU, it seems more fitting for the Scarlet Witch to not reappear as a hero. Given her children’s growing roles and the looming alliance of other franchise characters preparing for another significant battle, there is great potential in allowing Wanda to delve deeper into the moral ambiguities that drove her actions during the events of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

In 2026, the Vision series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe is scheduled for streaming on Disney+. Meanwhile, Wandavision and Agatha All Along are already accessible on the platform.
