Paul Bettany Confirms Vision's Return in Secret Wars

Following the conclusion of WandaVision, Marvel fans have been left wondering about Vision's fate in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That uncertainty has now come to an end as Paul Bettany has officially confirmed his return to the franchise in the highly anticipated Avengers: Secret Wars. During a recent conversation with The Telegraph, the Legion actor disclosed his upcoming Marvel commitments, with filming scheduled to begin in summer 2026.

"I think I've got some Avengers duties next year," Bettany stated during the interview.

While production schedules can always shift during pre-production phases, fans can now rest assured that Vision will play a role in the second installment of the upcoming Avengers double feature. This film is set to wrap up the current multiverse storyline that has been building across multiple Marvel projects. Before his big-screen return, audiences will get to see more of Bettany's android character in VisionQuest, his own Disney+ series.

Could Wanda and Vision Share the Screen Again?

Despite the various challenges that have plagued Marvel's multiverse arc, it's worth noting that this chapter began strongly with WandaVision, which remains one of the standout entries in Marvel's television lineup. The chemistry between Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff and Bettany's synthetic being served as the emotional core of the series, even when other elements faltered in later episodes.

With Vision's confirmed appearance in Secret Wars, many are wondering whether Wanda will also make her return, especially considering her apparent demise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Given that death rarely stays permanent in the current Marvel era, a comeback wouldn't be surprising. Olsen herself has addressed this possibility, confirming she won't appear in Avengers: Doomsday while leaving the door open for future projects.

What This Means for Marvel's Future

"I've been really proud of what we've been able to make. Really proud... I want to see [her] return in this role because I think what they've done with her is really great, and I love the journey she's taken. I think it's always a fun one to get to go back into, and I just have no idea how or when, for sure," Olsen explained in a recent interview.

After everything Wanda experienced following Vision's initial death, Secret Wars could provide the perfect opportunity for redemption and closure. A potential reunion between these two characters might deliver one of the most emotionally resonant moments in Marvel's cinematic history. For now, fans will have to wait and see how this storyline unfolds when Avengers: Secret Wars hits theaters on December 17, 2027.
