WandaVision was the first Marvel TV series to be produced by the studio itself, and in some ways, every other Marvel show has lived in its shadow. Notably, WandaVision is also the Marvel TV series that has produced the most spinoffs. Agatha All Along has been a success so far for the studio, and Marvel is also planning a spinoff series focused on Paul Bettany’s Vision, who is brought back to life in WandaVision and escapes at the end of the series.

While promoting his work in the upcoming film Here, Bettany spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the new series, which he said is expected to begin filming in 2025.

“We’re cooking up something that I’m really excited about,” the actor explained before adding that he wouldn’t offer any additional details because “snitches end up in ditches.”

A 2025 production would mean that the series wouldn’t hit streaming services until 2026. Outside of Bettany’s latest tease, we don’t know much about the series other than that it will continue the story of the sentient robot after he imbued his memories in White Vision, the once-evil version of his character that shows up in WandaVision. Vision’s actions after that series have not been touched on at all in other Marvel properties.

What we do know, though, is that Vision won’t be the only character returning for the series. James Spader’s Ultron, whose only other appearance was in Avengers: Age of Ultron, will also be returning for the series. Vision was first introduced in that film, and it was that character who ultimately took out the first iteration of Ultron.

5 upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows that are really unnecessary
Kathryn Hahn in WandaVision.

These days, Marvel seems to be shoveling out more films and TV shows than it knows what to do with. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become so saturated with content that it seems to have taken a toll on the overall quality of Phase Four of the MCU. And with complaints coming in from overworked VFX artists who have struggled to bring these projects to life, it seems like the studio could ease up on what it's producing.

This also applies to the cinematic universe Marvel is producing alongside Sony, as it has already lined up multiple projects based on characters even die-hard comic book fans aren't familiar with. It seems like Marvel should stop and reconsider its plans for some of the films and series currently in production, particularly the ones on this list.

Marvel is developing a WandaVision spinoff for Kathryn Hahn
Kathryn Hahn in WandaVision.

Earlier this year, WandaVision kicked of a new era of Marvel Studios original series on the Disney+ streaming service. One of the breakout characters from the series was Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness, a malevolent witch who was initially introduced as Wanda and Vision's nosy neighbor, Agnes. She was memorably reintroduced as her true self alongside the "Agatha All Along" theme song that became a viral sensation. Now, Agatha may even get her own Marvel show.

Variety is reporting that Disney+ and Marvel Studios are developing a WandaVision spinoff with Hahn in the leading role. The show is described as "a dark comedy," but further details have not been revealed. WandaVision creator and head writer Jac Schaeffer is already attached to write and executive produce the project. And according to Deadline, Hahn has signed a deal with Marvel to reprise her role as Agatha in films and in Disney+ shows.

There's a lot to like about the premiere of WandaVision, Marvel's new Disney+ series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, it provides a new chapter in the studio's wildly popular, interconnected superhero saga and ends a drought of MCU projects dating back to 2019, but WandaVision isn't just any new chapter in the MCU.
