VisionQuest Showrunner Terry Matalas Didn't Have to Worry Too Much About the MCU's Bigger Picture — 'We Pretty Much Did Exactly What We Wanted' | NYCC 2026
At New York Comic Con, VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas told IGN's Jeffrey Vega that MCU boss Kevin Feige gave Matalas a pass on doing whatever he wanted, as long as he included one particular thing.
Marvel's VisionQuest took its final bow at New York Comic Con 2026 before debuting on Disney+ on October 14. During a panel, showrunner Terry Matalas and the cast — Paul Bettany, James Spader, Emily Hampshire, and Ruaridh Mollica — fielded questions from the audience. IGN's Jeffrey Vega inquired about the writers' adherence to the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) story.
Matalas explained that while they had early conversations with Kevin Feige, they largely pursued their own creative direction. He praised his "brilliant writing staff" and stated that the series is "all on the screen." The cast and creator emphasized the show's freedom to explore Vision's journey after the events of WandaVision, focusing on his identity crisis and potential connections to other characters like Tommy and Ultron.
Initial reactions to VisionQuest's debut screening at NYCC were positive, with viewers praising it as a "worthy successor to WandaVision."
