Jac Schaeffer gave VisionQuest creator Terry Matalas a blank canvas
Terry Matalas led VisionQuest, the Disney+ series starring Paul Bettany that completes a trilogy begun with WandaVision.
Jac Schaeffer created and wrote WandaVision and its follow-up, Agatha All Along, but Marvel chose Matalas as VisionQuest’s showrunner.
Schaeffer gave him no creative notes, telling him he had a blank canvas to make the story his own.
Matalas said he called her early on to express how honored he was to take on the project.
VisionQuest has received a positive response from critics and audiences, and all its episodes are now streaming on Disney+.
The series also features James Spader returning as Ultron, while a post-credits scene shows Doctor Doom reviving Wanda.
Wanda is expected to play a major role in Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled to open in theaters on December 18.
Jac Schaeffer told VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas he had a “blank canvas” to create the series.
Matalas said Schaeffer did not offer creative notes or guidance on how to conclude the WandaVision trilogy.
He called Schaeffer early after getting the job to tell her it was an honor to work on the project.
VisionQuest is the third installment in a trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along.
