VisionQuest, the Marvel series that closes the trilogy begun by WandaVision, had its UK premiere at the BFI IMAX on the South Bank on Thursday 15 October 2026. Paul Bettany and James Spader led the carpet.
Bettany returned as Vision, the synthezoid he first played in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Born in London in 1971, he is the son of the actor and dancer Thane Bettany.
He broke through in Gangster No. 1 and A Knight’s Tale, and his Stephen Maturin in Master and Commander brought a BAFTA nomination. WandaVision earned him an Emmy nomination in 2021.
Spader, a three-time Emmy winner, returned as Ultron, the role he first voiced opposite Bettany’s debut as Vision. The showrunner, Terry Matalas, created the series after co-creating 12 Monkeys and steering Star Trek: Picard.
The story finds Vision in hiding until a bounty sends him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a boy who may be his reincarnated son. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios.
The first two episodes screened in the Journey strand of the seventieth BFI London Film Festival, a day after Disney+ released them. Emily Hampshire, Ruaridh Mollica, T’Nia Miller, James D’Arcy and Orla Brady joined the carpet.
