Paul Bettany Loves Agatha All Along, Is Taking Notes Ahead of Shooting Vision Series Next Year
Paul Bettany is among those bewitched by Agatha All Along.
Bettany of course starred opposite MCU leading lady Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVision, Disney+’s flagship Marvel series that introduced viewers to Agatha (played by a scene-stealing Kathryn Hahn).

WandaVision‘s finale found Hex Vision (the “husband” that Wanda had created using magic) engaging in a Ship of Theseus-themed philosophical discussion with White Vision (a synthezoid built from the OG’s “corpse”). Hex Vision ultimately restored White Vision’s original data, allowing White Vision to remember his relationship with Wanda (and the Mind Stone’s destruction).
“I am Vision,” White Vision stated, before flying off… somewhere… and disappearing for the rest of the WandaVision finale. Hex Vision meanwhile dematerialized along with the rest of the illusion Wanda had conjured.

Betteny now is set to headline his own offshoot that takes place after the events of 2021′s WandaVision, as White Vision reportedly “explores his new purpose in life.” Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard) will serve as showrunner, while the confirmed cast includes James Spader (again voicing Ultron, from the second Avengers film).
Speaking with sister site THR about Agatha All Along (which airs its final two episodes on Wednesday), Bettany said, “I love it and I’m so proud of [showrunner] Jac Schaeffer,” who was head writer on WandaVision. “I am going to watch again because there’s so much for me to learn moving forward into my contribution” as star of the Vision series.
As for the Vision series itself, Bettany would only say that it starts filming in 2025, and “we’re cooking up something that I’m really excited about.”
