Superheroes are notoriously hard to kill. Take Vision. The robotic hero ostensibly died in 2019’s Avengers: Infinity War, after Thanos plucked the Mind Stone from his head. But Marvel brought him back in WandaVision, the studio’s first big MCU TV show to run on Disney+. The version of Vision we saw in that show was just a projection created by a grief-stricken Wanda, but by the end of the show, an all-white version of Vision had been built and given all the real Vision’s memories. What happened to him?
He’s getting his own show, of course! Deadline reports that it will be called Vision Quest, which shares a title with a run of the West Coast Avengers comic from the mid-1980s. Disney is opening a writers room for the show this week.
Deadline mentions that there’s “a possibility” that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda could show up. That might be difficult given what happened to her in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but then again, remember what we said about superheroes being hard to kill?
Will Namor from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever get his own solo movie?
Vision Quest is the second WandaVision spinoff we’ve heard about; Disney is also working on Agatha: House of Harkness, about fan favorite villain Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn.
So well known is Marvel’s love of spinoffs that people are already asking if we’re going to get a solo movie about Namor the Submariner, a villain who will appear in the upcoming movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. “We’ll see, depends on this,” Marvel boss Kevin Feige said when asked about it.
Tenoch Huerta, who plays Namor, is certainly down. “I hope so! Because I want a bigger contract! I want more zeroes in my contract!” he told Total Film.
"No, I’m joking. I mean, the mythology around Namor is huge. You can be crazy with all this cultural aspect, and you can create a lot of things with Namor, because they take a fantastic source of stories and mythology and religion and everything. So I hope they decide to keep going with the character, past its own story or whatever."
Look, Namor is a character that most people haven’t heard of and who we haven’t yet seen portrayed onscreen in the MCU…but yeah, he’ll probably get a spinoff.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever drops into theaters on November 11.
