Marvel’s newest series, VisionQuest, completes an unlikely trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along. I watched the entire season early… and beneath all the superhero action is a beautiful story about love, loss and hope.
Global (29 October 2026) – Marvel has given us superheroes who can fly, gods who control thunder, witches who can change reality and villains determined to destroy half the universe. But tucked away between all the action and superpowers is one of the most beautiful love stories Marvel has ever created.
And now, with VisionQuest on Disney+, that story has entered its next chapter.
I’ve been waiting for this series for what feels like forever… and while Disney+ is releasing the episodes weekly (my favourite way to watch a series), the team gave me early access to the entire season so I could review it for you.
Don’t worry, there are no spoilers here. But I will say this: to fully appreciate VisionQuest, you need to go back and watch a whole lot more Marvel.
You see, this is the 3rd instalment in a rather unlikely trilogy. WandaVision, Agatha All Along and VisionQuest are three completely different series that shouldn’t really belong together. One is inspired by classic sitcoms, another explores witchcraft and mystery (great for Halloween viewing) and the latest takes us into the fascinating world of AI and identity. But they are all beautifully connected, adding different layers to a really great story.
They might just be some of the best television Marvel has ever produced. Some of the best TV you’ll ever watch. Well, in my opinion anyway.
But first, we need to go back.
To understand this trilogy, you need to understand Wanda Maximoff and Vision.
Wanda, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Vision, played by Paul Bettany, were both introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. Wanda was a young woman with extraordinary powers who had already experienced enormous loss, while Vision was an artificial being created through advanced technology and the Mind Stone. Their friendship gradually developed into love through Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. They dreamed of an ordinary life together, but the events of Infinity War and Endgame changed everything.

Three Series, One Beautiful Story
In 2021, Marvel released WandaVision, an incredibly unusual series that initially looked like a collection of old-fashioned TV sitcoms. There were black-and-white episodes, laugh tracks and vintage costumes, but beneath the humour was a deeply emotional story about love, loss and the lengths someone might go to when their entire world falls apart. It also introduced Agatha Harkness, played brilliantly by Kathryn Hahn, who would eventually get her own series.
Agatha All Along arrived in 2024, taking the story in a completely different direction. Witches, mysterious challenges, dark humour and unexpected emotional moments replaced the sitcom setting but the connections to WandaVision remained. It expanded the story, introduced important characters and explored family, belonging and identity.
And now we have VisionQuest. Paul Bettany returns as Vision, this time exploring the complicated questions surrounding his memories, his past and who he actually is. James Spader also returns as Ultron, connecting the series to the events that originally brought Vision into existence. There are no spoilers here but having watched the entire season, I can say that VisionQuest is a brilliant conclusion to a trilogy that has consistently challenged what superhero television can be.
If you’re planning to watch it (and you should), start with Avengers: Age of Ultron, then move on to Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Then watch WandaVision, Agatha All Along and finally VisionQuest. Trust me, the emotional connections will make so much more sense.
What makes this trilogy so special is that underneath all the superhero stuff… it’s telling a remarkably human story. It’s about love, grief, sacrifice and what happens when someone loses the person who means everything to them. It’s about the choices we make when life doesn’t go as planned and the difficult but beautiful journey of finding ourselves again.
And more than anything, I think it’s about hope.
Hope that love doesn’t disappear when we lose someone, but lives on in the memories we carry. Hope that our past, no matter how painful or complicated, doesn’t have to define our future. Hope that grief and happiness can exist together, that moving forward doesn’t mean leaving anyone behind. Hope in new beginnings, unexpected friendships, second chances, love in different forms and happiness we never saw coming.
Ja, maybe that’s just my Good Things Guy lens. Maybe I see hope in places other people don’t. But after watching all three series, I think that’s exactly what Marvel has been trying to tell us.
Even when everything changes, even when we lose the people we love, even when we no longer recognise the life we’re living… there is still hope.
And I think that’s a pretty beautiful story to tell.
