Emmy winning actor James Spader is set to return as supervillain Ultron in Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Vision” series, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
Spader last appeared as Ultron in 2015’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” The project, which will see the return of actor Paul Bettany, will be steered by “Star Trek: Picard” executive producer Terry Matalas as showrunner.
After dying at the hands of Thanos in 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” Vision was recreated by a grieving Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olson) magic. Additionally, a separate white version of Vision was rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D after his body was recovered from Wakanda. After the two Visions battled in the “WandaVision” finale, White Vision’s memories were restored and he immediately flew off. Meanwhile, the Vision manifested by Wanda faded from existence after she chose to drop the Hex over Westview.
