Marvel Television‘s Vision Quest series has recently wrapped production and is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.
During a panel at Star Trek Las Vegas, showrunner Terry Matalas confirmed that Todd Stashwick will play the Marvel Comics character Paladin in the Vision Quest series, and also revealed that Orla Brady (Star Trek: Picard) will portray the human version of F.R.I.D.A.Y. The character was previously voiced in the MCU by Kerry Condon in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Who Is the Paladin in Marvel Comics?
In Marvel Comics, Paladin first appeared in Daredevil #150 (1978). He’s a skilled mercenary, private investigator, and marksman—wearing purple armor and using non-lethal weaponry. Unlike traditional heroes, Paladin works for whoever pays him the most—though he occasionally teams up with superheroes such as Daredevil, Spider-Man, and the Heroes for Hire when their goals align. In the series, the S.W.O.R.D. organization could theoretically hire him to bring back the Vision.
We recently received a leaked update during production that in Vision Quest, White Vision (Paul Bettany) is on a journey to recover his memories and humanity. He travels to Madripoor, where he encounters Ultron in his human form — and from there, the story continues.
The show, created by Matalas for Disney+, is the second spin-off series from 2021’s WandaVision. Matalas serves as both showrunner and director. Vision Quest follows White Vision (Bettany) as he tries to regain his memory and humanity. After Thanos killed him in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, Vision returned in WandaVision.
