Get ready for more Vision action in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The upcoming Vision series, starring Paul Bettany, has been generating buzz with exciting casting news. James Spader is reprising his role as Ultron, and Faran Tahir is back as Raza, adding to the growing roster of intriguing characters. Production is set to begin in early 2025, with Paul Bettany teasing that fans can expect something truly special.
Behind the scenes of Marvel Television's upcoming third chapter in the 'WandaVision' trilogy, exciting news is brewing. Back in May 2024, it was revealed that Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard) would be the showrunner for the Paul Bettany -led Vision series. Three months later, the news broke that James Spader (The Blacklist) would reprise his role as the voice of the robotic villain Ultron (from 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron ) for a father/son reunion of sorts.
Shortly after, it was announced that Matalas would reunite with 'Picard' star Todd Stashwick (Starfleet Captain Liam Shaw), who is reportedly set to play an assassin intent on capturing Vision and his technology. Now, Deadline Hollywood is exclusively reporting that Faran Tahir will reprise his role as Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings who attempted to kill Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in 2008's Iron Man.Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter during the L.A. premiere of his new film in October 2024, Bettany confirmed that filming is still on track to start in early 2025. But that wasn't all. 'We're cooking up something that I'm really excited about,' Bettany added before jokingly hinting at spoilers: 'Snitches end up in ditches.' During an interview with Esquire back in March 2021, Bettany made it clear that he was enjoying his time with Marvel Studios and the MCU and saw himself playing the Vision for some time to come. 'I've heard it said, often by people who have not seen the films, that these Marvel superhero movies are always the same. And they're really not. They're self-consciously different. There's this idea from people who haven't seen them who remember superhero movies from the '80s and whatever that the success has been in repeating a formula,' Bettany said during the interview, defending the diversity of themes and approaches in the MCU. 'The success has been that they're made by fans who love this incredibly rich source material. We managed to make a TV show that celebrates the golden era of American television and is also about grief. I think that's fucking funny and weird and a great thing to be a part of,' the actor added, explaining what sets WandaVision apart from other parts of the MCU
