Marvel’s Vision will be restored this fall.

At Disney’s annual Upfront presentation to advertisers and media buyers on Tuesday, the company’s reps announced that a second spinoff of the MCU series WandaVision would premiere this fall on Disney+.

Marvel‘s VisionQuest, marking the return of Paul Bettany as the android Avenger Vision, will debut in October. Disney told attendees that the show takes place after the events in WandaVision. That show picked up Vision’s story following his return after Thanos killed him in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War.

The new series is believed to follow Bettany as Vision (or as he known now, White Vision) as he tries to regain his memory and humanity. Show attendees got to see a trailer that showed the connection between VisionQuest, WandaVision and Age of Ultron, including a look at James Spader who played Ultron in the movie.

Also cast are Todd Stashwick as Paladin, a morally gray mercenary anti-hero who acts as an assassin targeting Vision’s technology, and Faran Tahir, reprising the role of Raza, the Ten Rings leader from 2008’s Iron Man. Bettany was the voice of JARVIS in the Iron Man movies before graduating to the role of Vision.

Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, James D’Arcy, Orla Brady, Emily Hampshire, and Ruaridh Mollica, who will play the grownup version of Wanda and Vision’s son Tommy Maximoff, round out the cast. There’s no word on if Elizabeth Olsen will appear in the series as Wanda/The Scarlet Witch or Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, from the other WandaVision spinoff Agatha All Along. VisionQuest will be followed by the next chapter in MCU Phase Six: Avengers: Doomsday, which hits theaters on December 18th.

VisionQuest‘s showrunner is Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard) and the show is set to debut exclusively on Disney+ on October 14th.
