As a long-time Marvel fan and Star Trek enthusiast, I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming Vision series! Having grown up with the Avengers and being captivated by Paul Bettany’s portrayal of Vision, it’s fantastic to see this character getting his own show. The fact that Kevin Feige discovered Terry Matalas through his work on Picard Season 3 is a testament to the power of great storytelling, crossing the realms of universes and genres!

The Vision series from Marvel Studios is set to have Terry Matalas serve as the showrunner, a role he was chosen for due to Kevin Feige’s appreciation for his work on Star Trek: Picard Season 3.

When talking to Inverse about the forthcoming series, the head of Marvel Studios shared that it was through Picard Season 3 that he was first acquainted with Matalas. Feige mentioned he found the third season of the show so engaging, he felt compelled to have a conversation with Matalas.

In my own words, here’s how I stumbled upon him: His outstanding work in Picard Season 3 left me spellbound. I couldn’t believe such a masterpiece existed! My curiosity piqued, I set out to discover the artist behind this marvelous creation.

Although the overall series has garnered a mix of opinions, Season 3 of Picard was broadly acclaimed and earned an Astra Award for exceptional writing, in addition to four Saturn Awards.

What do we know about the Vision series?

For a while now, Marvel Studios has been developing different phases for a Vision series; initially, this project was being handled by WandaVision’s creator, Jac Schaefer. However, currently, Schaefer is engaged in crafting the upcoming spin-off of WandaVision titled Agatha All Along, set to debut in September.

At present, specifics about the plot for the Vision series are kept confidential. No further actors have been revealed as part of the cast so far.

In the movie “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the artificial intelligence known as J.A.R.V.I.S. was transferred into a vibranium-constructed body and, with the aid of the Mind Stone, transformed into the superhero known as Vision. Paul Bettany voiced this character in “Captain America: Civil War” (2016) and “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018), where he perished at the hands of Thanos.

In WandaVision, two distinct forms of Vision appeared: one was a spectral entity crafted by Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), while the other was an android that had been rebuilt and lacked any memory of its past. The upcoming series will follow ghost Vision as he discovers his new role in life, according to Variety’s article.
