James Spader Returns as Ultron in Vision Series

James Spader is set to reprise his role as the iconic villain Ultron in a new Marvel series centered on Vision, previously portrayed by Paul Bettany. This upcoming Disney+ series, which remains untitled, follows the events of WandaVision and is expected to explore Vision's quest for purpose after his resurrection. Spader last played Ultron in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and his return adds complexity to the character's relationship with Vision, given Ultron's role as Vision's creator. Terry Matalas, known for his work on Star Trek: Picard, will be the showrunner for this project, which is anticipated to begin production in early 2025. The series is positioned as the second sequel to WandaVision, following the spinoff Agatha All Along, set to premiere in September 2024. Further details about the plot and Ultron's involvement remain under wraps.
