WandaVision, a popular Marvel series about Wanda Maximoff dealing with loss, was praised for its creative storytelling and deep character development. The show’s success led to two spinoffs: Agatha All Along, which recently ended with great reviews, and Vision Quest.
In October 2022, it was announced that Vision Quest was in development, with Jac Schaeffer as head writer and executive producer. By May 2023, Eileen Shim also joined as a writer.
Jac Schaeffer then shifted focus to Agatha All Along, and now Vision Quest is being led by Terry Matalas. With Matalas at the helm, this marks Marvel’s first new live-action TV series in almost two years, signaling a shift in their approach to TV production on Disney+.
Previously, Marvel mainly used a movie-style approach, with directors and creative leaders in charge. Starting in 2022, they shifted to a more traditional TV model, with longer development periods and writer-producers as showrunners.

Almost a year and a half after season three of Star Trek: Picard aired its finale, "The Last Generation," there are some actors such as Jeri Ryan, Michelle Hurd, and Todd Stashwick, and plenty of fans who are not ready to give up on the idea of continuing adventures with the legacy characters and the newer characters that made their debuts on Picard. LeVar Burton is one of those actors.
In an interview with TVLine [via Whatculture] the man behind Commodore Geordi Laforge is still onbard for the series that would follow Captain Seven of Nine [Jeri Ryan], her first officer Raffi Musiker [Michelle Hurd], and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard's [Patrick Stewart] son, Jack Crusher [Ed Speleers].
The sentiment, then and now, at least for us, the cast, and the audience, two years on, seem to be just as interested in the idea of Legacy as when Picard was just airing.LeVar Burton

In the "Star Trek: Picard" series finale "The Last Generation", the villain was exploded and most of the heroes were rescued. Tragically, the cantankerous-but-resolute Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) was killed on board his ship, the Titan-a, inspiring a wave of ambivalence from his first officer, Commander Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Seven was never respected by Captain Shaw; he felt her Borg implants made her an enemy and he would always deadname her, calling her the name she had before she was assimilated.
After Captain Shaw's death, however. Seven was put in command of the Titan-a on his posthumous recommendation (he left a recording). The ship was re-christened the Enterprise-g and "Picard" ended with a tease of a spinoff series starring Ryan. "Star Trek: Picard" showrunner Terry Matalas made no secrets that he was deliberately using the final episode to tease an additional "Star Trek" spinoff he intended to call "Star Trek: Legacy.

Captain Liam Shaw [Todd Stashwick] went from being a disliked captain who opposed Admiral Picard [Patrick Stewart] and Captain Riker [Jonathan Frakes] at every move and refused to acknowledge Seven of Nine {Jeri Ryan} by her preferred name. He was sarcastic and cold and didn't endear himself to any fans...at first. Over the course of the brief season of Star Trek: Picard, Shaw was redeemed and even handed over the reins of the Titan to Seven of Nine and recommended her to be promoted to captain. His redemption arc was well-played in so few episodes. Unfortunately, Captain Shaw was killed before the season ended, and while Terry Matalas and Stashwick have discussed ways to bring the captain back, it looks like it won't happen unless Star Trek: Legacy gets greenlit.
But there are other ways the franchise could reintroduce this incredible character even without Legacy. Holograms never go out of style on Star Trek,...

He said, ‘I love it and I’m so proud of Jac Schaeffer, and I am going to watch again because there’s so much for me to learn moving forward into my contribution.’

Though he declined to discuss any plot details, Bettany did reveal that shooting is set to commence next year.
“We’re cooking up something that I’m really excited about,” he said, before adding that he couldn't say much more because “snitches end up in ditches.”
Bettany was also asked about current MCU Disney+ series, Agatha All Along, which is a spin-off of WandaVision.
“I love it. I love it and I’m so proud of [showrunner] Jac Schaeffer and I am going to watch again because there’s so much for me to learn moving forward into my contribution.”
The untitled Vision project has been described as "the third part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision and continues in Agatha All Along.

When season three of Star Trek: Picard began, there were some missing faces. Some, we didn't expect to see as their stories wrapped up in season two, like Captain Cristobal Rios [Santiago Carbrera] who chose to remain the past. Isa Briones's Soji character only returned briefly for season two and Briones played an entirely different character who ended up going with Wil Wheaton's Traveler. We're not quite sure what happened to Evan Evagora's Elnor, but Allison Pill's Dr. Agnes Jurati joined with the Borg Queen who became a benevolent form...at least for that queen.
The only original actor, who appeared in the first episode of the first season, alongside Patrick Stewart, to return in season three was Raffi [Michelle Hurd]. Though Jeri Ryan did appear in season one of Picard, she wasn't there from the beginning. Hurd has already spoken out about how it was heartbreaking for her...

It was in the third season of Star Trek: Picard when Stephanie Czajkowski found herself playing a part-Deltan/part-Vulcan aboard the bridge of the USS Titan, captained by Liam Shaw [Todd Stashwick]. Czajkowski didn't know originally that she was auditioning for a role on Star Trek, but once she was aboard, she would look around every day and marvel at the fact that was on an "iconic bridge" and knew it "was only going to last for so long."
Czajkowski was right, but it wasn't because the series was ending. Her character, T'Veen, didn't make it to the end of the season as the character was killed by Vadic [Amanda Plummer] in the eighth episode "Surrender." She learned of the upcoming death of her character by that episode's director, Deborah Kampmeier.

As Marvel Studios' Vision series (previously titled "Vision Quest") continues to round out its cast, we have a very interesting rumor relating to Tony Stark and his father Howard's former assistants.
According to Mttsh, Kerry Condon and James D'Arcy will appear as their respective characters, F.R.I.D.A.Y and Jarvis.
Condon provided the voice of Tony's second AI after J.A.R.V.I.S. (Paul Bettany) was transformed into Vision, while D'Arcy played the human the "natural-language user interface computer system" was named after, Edwin Jarvis.
How these characters will factor into the show remains to be seen.
The project is being described as "the third part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision and continues in Agatha All Along."
We found out earlier this year that the Vision show had been revamped, with Star Trek: Picard executive producer Terry Matalas now on board as showrunner.

Though we're pretty sure a solo Scarlet Witch movie starring Elizabeth Olsen is in the works, Marvel Studios has yet to make it official, and those (potentially) involved with the project were not about to confirm or deny anything during last night's Agatha All Along screening event.
Despite Variety's reporter doing his best to get some details from Jac Schaeffer - who is rumored to be working on the movie's script with Megan McDonnell - the Agatha All Along showrunner would only say that she's keeping her "fingers crossed" for a Wanda-focused feature. When quizzed about not being able to discuss anything with the press, Schaeffer laughed and replied: "Not right now!"
Variety had even less luck with actress Agatha Sasheer Zamata, who would only say that she really wants to be in the movie if and when it happens.

We've been hearing rumors of a Scarlet Witch solo feature for a few years at this stage, but we may finally have confirmation (or the closest we've come to it) that Marvel Studios is developing a movie that will give Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff the spotlight.
Though the trades have yet to weigh-in, a new Production Weekly report claims that a Scarlet Witch film is in the works, and is aiming for a 2026 release. WandaVision and Agatha All Along writers Jac Schaeffer and Megan McDonnell are said to be working on the script.
Pw is a (generally) reliable cast and crew database, but the projects they highlight are often subject to change, so while there are likely early plans in place for a Scarlet Witch movie, we would count on that 2026 release just yet.

Last month, we learned that Avengers: Age of Ultron star James Spader will reprise his role as Ultron in Marvel Studios and Disney+'s upcoming Vision series.
At the time, Deadline mentioned that "[Spader's] role in Vision may not be voiceover, we hear." As a result of that statement, speculation soon started running rampant about Spader perhaps playing Ultron in his "human" form, similar to what happened on the page when he merged with Hank Pym.
In The Avengers sequel, Spader suited up to play Ultron with motion capture so we wondered if the report may be referencing that. Now, though, The Hollywood Reporter has added further fuel to the fire.
"Spader is reprising his role as Ultron, a sentient being created by Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, to act as a defense program but that instead turned against humanity, as seen in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron,...

We haven't seen Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, when the powerful former Avenger found some redemption for her villainous deeds by destroying every copy of the Darkhold and bringing a mountain down on top of herself.
A lot of fans were of the opinion that Wanda's "heel turn" didn't feel earned, and that the character's switch to a full-on villain between the events of WandaVision and the Doctor Strange sequel didn't really make complete sense. This is certainly debatable, but it seems Olsen might happen to agree!
While being interviewed about her latest movie, His Three Daughters, by Irish radio station FM 104, Olsen was asked about potentially reprising the role in the MCU, and responded with the following.
“It's a character I love going back to when there's a way to use her well and I think I've been lucky when...

A few weeks ago, it was announced that James Spader will return as the voice of Ultron in the upcoming ‘Vision’ show. The series will center on White Vision after his escape from Westview, with a human assassin, played by Todd Stashwick, set to hunt him down.
While the show’s exact plot remains a mystery, it’s known that it will explore White Vision’s existential journey.
As for Ultron’s return, it’s unclear how or why he will make an appearance, and it’s uncertain whether he’ll come back in human or robot form, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

THR reports that Todd Stashwick is set to reunite with Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas on Marvel’s upcoming Vision series.
The follow-up to WandaVision will once again star Paul Bettany as the android, and it was announced last month that James Spader will reprise his role as Ultron. Beyond brief mentions in other Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, we haven’t seen Ultron since his introduction in Avengers: Age of Ultron close to ten years ago. As for who Stashwick will play in the Vision series, THR’s sources say he will play “an assassin who is on the trail of the android and the technology he possesses.” The series is aiming to look in England in early 2025.

It seems the returning Ultron won't be the only bad guy Vision is going to have to contend with in the upcoming Disney+ WandaVision spin-off series.
THR is reporting that Todd Stashwick (Star Trek: Picard) has joined the cast of Marvel Studios' Vision Quest (not the official title) series in an undisclosed role. While his character is not named, the trade believes Stashwick will play "an assassin who is on the trail of android and the technology he possesses."
Could this be an established Marvel Comics villain? There are numerous characters that fit the assassin bill, so let the speculation commence.
The project is being described as "the third part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision and continues in Agatha All Along."

“Star Trek: Picard” actor Todd Stashwick has joined the cast of Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Vision” series, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
Stashwick is reuniting with his “Star Trek” executive producer Terry Matalas, who is the showrunner for the untitled project, which will see the return of actor Paul Bettany as Vision. James Spader also recently joined the cast as supervillain Ultron.
After dying at the hands of Thanos in 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” Vision was recreated by a grieving Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) 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.

Bettany is reprising his role as Vision, the android who fell in love with the Scarlett Witch and then was destroyed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. In WandaVision, he returned via magic and the power of grief but also as a rebuilt android, now ghostly white.
Spader is reprising his role as Ultron, a sentient being created by Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, to act as a defense program but that instead turned against humanity, as seen in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron.

In no world would anyone consider Jensen Ackles as an ‘ugly’ actor. One social media post has enraged fans of multiple actors, including the Supernatural actor, after it categorized them as “ugly men who are considered attractive”. However, it is not just fans who came to Ackles’ defense. Misha Collins, who starred alongside him in the CW series, replied to the post with a message to the actor.

Everyone has their favorite "Star Trek" captain. Each has their own unique skills and flaws, and each comes with their own series and crew. Many argue for James Tiberius Kirk, originally portrayed by William Shatner in the original series, because he was the blueprint for all "Trek" captains who followed. Others are steadfast for Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who led the Enterprise on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," because he is an excellent explorer, diplomat, and ship's captain.
However, no "Star Trek" captain has faced the same incredible trials as Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), who commands the titular space station on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." Every other captain, from Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) on "Star Trek: Enterprise" all the way through to Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) on "Star Trek: Discovery," is on board a traveling ship, and while they have different missions, they're all capable of...

At the start of "Star Trek: Picard," the title character (Patrick Stewart) is living in retirement on his generations-old family vineyard. Although one can replicate synthehol in the future, it's comforting to know that some vintners will still be making wine the old-fashioned way. The full range of wines made at Château Picard hasn't been listed in the official canon of "Star Trek," but sharp-eyed Trekkies have noted that characters have been seen drinking a Château Picard Bordeaux and bottles labeled Château La Barre. Thanks to enterprising booze-hounds, real-life bottles of Château Picard can be purchased online. The Klingon blood wine is actually just a cabernet sauvignon.
Given that the Picard family had been in the wine-making business for centuries, one might assume that Château Picard is very fine indeed, exploring and idly conquering the palate like Alexander the Great. Like Picard himself, I imagine Château Picard to be dry and complex,...

The respectable Saturn Awards were first launched in 1973 by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, and have been presented annually ever since.
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" has won multiple Saturns in the past, notably winning Best Genre Series twice during its initial run. Additionally, Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner won Saturns for their acting, playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data respectively. Frustratingly, no other member of the show's venerated ensemble won Saturns for their performance.
Until now. As announced by TrekMovie, a special Lifetime Achievement Saturn award will be given to Stewart, Spiner, Marina Sirtis, Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, Jonathan Frakes, and Wil Wheaton. That group represents the core ensemble of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," with most of them having appeared in all seven seasons of the TV series and in four movies.

To begin with a brief editorial: the unbinding of special effects ultimately harms "Star Trek."
One of the reasons Trekkies become attached to certain characters, or fall in love with the workspaces on various ships and space stations is because the shows spend so much time with them. There are many, many episodes of "Star Trek" that take place entirely on board the Enterprise, and fans — long paying attention — begin to know its geography. After enough time watching a Starfleet vessel, viewers feel like they could, if they should be magically transported there, find their way around.
Taking "Star Trek" away from a starship for too long can, quite tragically, rob a show of a vital sense of place. We, as Trekkies, need to see what everyday life is like on a starship and see what a "normal boring" day looks like before we can appreciate the depth of a crisis.

"Star Trek: Picard" shares more than a little DNA with "12 Monkeys." In its third season, the recently ended "Trek" sequel series was captained by showrunner Terry Matalas, who co-created the wild Syfy Channel adaptation of Terry Gilliam's also-wild film. Aside from a shared showrunner, "Star Trek: Picard" was home to several key cast and crew members who worked on both shows – and nearly featured one more.
In a Reddit Ama about the show's third season, user Drewski1138 pointed out several narrative choices in "Picard" that echoed "12 Monkeys," including references to a mysterious red realm, a new drug called "Splinter" (a reference to "12 Monkeys" time travel), and more. "Were there any '12 Monkeys' Easter eggs we might have missed ... Were there any that you were told you couldn't put in?" the user asked Matalas. The answer? No, but there was one Easter egg that never came to...

Looks like all those early concerns about whether name stars would walk the picket line ended up being a waste of energy: a strike captain on Saturday recognized Day 100 of the SAG-AFTRA strike by calling out many of the big names who joined the rank and file in those daily protests.
“Instead of talking about who is not on the picket line, let’s celebrate the name talent who have been showing up,” wrote Chelsea Schwartz, who encouraged her followers to add to her thread.
Among those she singled out were Chris Pine, Jennifer Garner, Timothy Olyphant, Mandy Moore, Ben Schwartz, Nick Offerman, Ming-Na Wen, Sam Elliott, Jack Black, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Margot Robbie, Jon Cryer, Jean Smart, Aubrey Plaza, Adam Scott, Jennifer Grey, Clarke Gregg, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rhys Darby, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Deschanel, Sterling K Brown, Ben Barnes, Jack Quaid, Robert Pine, Raegan Revord, Tate Donovan,...

At the conclusion of the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," after the villains had been defeated, showrunner Terry Matalas had properly and carefully set up another "Star Trek" spinoff series, should Paramount+ have wanted it. Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) had received a posthumous recommendation for a captaincy from her late commanding officer Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) and was put in command of the U.S.S. Titan-a, now newly rechristened the U.S.S. Enterprise-g. One can perhaps assume that the rechristening was a special favor for the aging Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) now over 100 and happy to have a legacy.
Also serving on the Enterprise-g were a raft of characters seen throughout "Picard," most notably Seven's ex-girlfriend Raffi (Michelle Hurd), who would serve as her first officer. Picard's adult son Jack (Ed Speleers) was hastened through Starfleet Academy and was already serving as an ensign. Also...

“Star Trek” hasn’t been recognized by the Emmys for acting since the original series aired in the 1960s. Back then Leonard Nimoy earned three bids for his iconic role as Spock. But no actors from the franchise have been nominated since. Will that change with the third and final season of “Star Trek: Picard”?

It seems like Jean-Luc Picard never learns. At the end of the Star Trek: The Next Generation finale “All Good Things…”, the Captain finally joins his senior officers of the USS Enterprise for a game of cards. “I should have done this a long time ago,” he admits with some resignation.
But when the Captain returned to screens for Star Trek: Picard, after a twenty-year absence following the dismal final Tng movie Star Trek: Nemesis, he didn’t bring his old crew with him. Sure, Data, Riker, and Troi dropped by for an episode or two, but Picard spent most of his time with a new renegade gang. It wasn’t until Picard hit its third and final season that the Captain was rejoined by his most famous crew.

The bulk of the third season of "Star Trek: Picard" takes place on the U.S.S. Titan-a, a ship that was once commanded by Captain Riker (Jonathan Frakes), but had since been entirely retrofitted and put under the charge of the embittered Captain Shaw (Todd Stashwick). Although "Picard" followed the fate of its title character (Patrick Stewart) and his old compatriots from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," one could see an entirely new Titan-based "Star Trek" series going on in the background. With a new crew, a new captain, and all-new technology, the Titan could easily have gone on its own exciting TV treks, even if the people on board had never met Admiral Picard.
Sitting at the helm of the Titan-a was Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut), the estranged daughter of Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), once the chief engineer on the Enterprise-d. Sidney was merely an ensign,...

The bulk of the final season of "Star Trek: Picard" took place on board the U.S.S. Titan-a, a ship commanded by Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) and with Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) as its first officer. The Titan-a was called a Neo-Constitution-Class starship, having been reconstructed using a lot of old parts from the original Titan (a ship commanded by Captain Riker). The ship has a blocky, utilitarian look, with a semicircular saucer section. The ship's look fitted the personality of its captain; Shaw was a former engineer and adhered strictly to safety and protocol. He had no patience for "gut instincts" and doing favors for the visiting Admiral Picard (Patrick Stewart).
By the end of the series, Captain Shaw will have died -- a grievous tragedy indeed -- and the Titan will have survived a great number of near-misses and battle scenarios. After all was said and done,...

If you follow “Star Trek” on Twitter and other social media spaces, you’d think that “Star Trek: Legacy” is a real show, given all the buzz surrounding it. A Change.org petition to have Paramount+’s “Star Trek: Picard” showrunner Terry Matalas helm the proposed spin-off is closing in on 50,000 signatures, which would change it’s status on the site to “top signed.”
But alas, “Legacy” isn’t on the current or future “Trek” slate. And with the current Writers’ Guild strike, it doesn’t look likely in the near future. But never count out the power of the “Star Trek” fandom, which has supported the franchise for nearly six decades, including fallow periods of no television or theatrical production.
Here’s what you need to know about “Legacy” and why “Trek” fans and stars are clamoring for it.

The third season of "Star Trek: Picard" was carefully constructed by showrunner Terry Matalas to reunite the central cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and gather them on the bridge of the Enterprise-d. Some of the introductions felt fair and organic. Others felt a little contrived. The inclusion of the Enterprise-d, a ship that had been destroyed in 1994's "Star Trek: Generations," was most certainly forced. But for many, the nostalgia was exhilarating, and seeing a 105-year-old Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) back in action for one last Borg rescue was a thrilling way to end the character's career.
Amid all the nostalgia, however, Matalas managed to introduce a fun, exciting new character into the mix: Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick), the captain of the U.S.S. Titan-a.
Shaw was thrilling because, unlike most starship captains, he felt no impulse to stand on formality. "Star Trek," especially "Next Generation" was always stringently formal.

This Star Trek: Picard article contains spoilers.
Todd Stashwick is thirsty.
“I’m gonna go grab a Lacroix,” he tells Den of Geek when we catch up with him over Zoom post-Star Trek: Picard season 3. “Don’t go anywhere! Stay where you are! It’ll be worth the wait if I grab a coconut Lacroix to wet my whistle.”
No doubt we’re just the latest in a long line of outlets waiting to chat with Stashwick now that Picard has wrapped. Everyone wants to know what the actor will be up to after his scene-stealing turn in the show, and whether he’ll return to the Star Trek universe. The latter hangs in the balance because his character, Captain Liam Shaw, is currently super dead, and a new Trek series called Legacy that promises to see him return in an “absolutely amazing” way hasn’t yet been greenlit at the time of writing.

Though "Star Trek" tends to be less war-focused than that other "Star" franchise, there have been some pretty major conflicts that have impacted more than one series. In the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," one of these major events was brought back into focus through a new perspective, giving insight into another moment in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
One of the most important and harrowing events in Federation history was the Battle at Wolf 359, where the United Federation of Planets did battle with the Borg, leading to the largest cause of casualties for Starfleet prior to the Dominion War. In episode 4 of Picard's third season, "No Win Scenario," Captain Shaw (Todd Stashwick) reveals why he's a bit prejudiced against former Borg and has such a hate boner for Picard (Patrick Stewart).
It turns out that he was actually on one of the ships that were destroyed at Wolf 359, and he witnessed absolute horrors,...
