Marvel’s new series VisionQuest, which carries on from the WandaVision line, reached viewers on Disney+ on October 13, 2026 with its first two episodes. Early reviews describe a more thoughtful story than expected, with the performances of lead Paul Bettany and James Spader standing out. Here is what the first episodes left behind.

What the first reviews say

When the first reviews appeared, the series held about 91 percent positive on the critics aggregator. Write-ups use phrases like “a masterclass” for Bettany’s performance as he plays Vision again. James Spader’s Ultron scenes are singled out, with comments that the conversations between the two characters are among the series’ strongest moments. Some write-ups say the show holds too many ideas to explore any of them deeply, and that repeated exposition sometimes slows the pace.

Why it stands out

The series puts Marvel’s artificial-intelligence characters at its centre and explores Vision’s state of mind. Some commentators call it one of the more humane and hopeful things Marvel has made. For viewers, the biggest question is how fresh a view of this story the show brings after WandaVision.
