How to watch Mid-to-late 2026 · Watch WandaVision and Agatha All Along first.

Watch note

White Vision — restored with all his memories at the end of WandaVision — searches for his identity. James Spader returns as Ultron. Completes the WandaVision trilogy. Airs in the window before Doomsday.

Why It Matters in the MCU

The continuation of Vision's story following WandaVision explores what it means to be an artificial person defined entirely by constructed memory and a connection to someone who no longer exists. Paul Bettany returns for a series that takes seriously what WandaVision left unresolved — whether the rebuilt Vision retains anything of the emotional history he was specifically designed to have forgotten. It is the franchise's most philosophical extended character study.
