Marvel boss targets Star Trek: Picard S3 showrunner for Vision series
Aug 01, 2024 2:11 PMMarvel Studios has recently shaken up its plans, most notably replacing Kang with Doctor Doom as the primary antagonist for the Multiverse Saga, with Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role. On the television front, Marvel head Kevin Feige has actively courted Terry Matalas, the showrunner for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, to work on the upcoming Vision series. Feige was so impressed by the third season of Picard that he sought out Matalas, influenced by the show's successful character development and respect for Star Trek: The Next Generation's legacy. This recruitment effort comes as Marvel attempts to inject new creative talent into its struggling Disney+ shows, aiming to replicate the quality seen in Paramount's Star Trek series. Following this, Marvel is also planning another WandaVision spinoff, Agatha All Along, despite recent talks of scaling back their output.

It's wild seeing Doctor Doom finally getting center stage in the MCU, and Robert Downey Jr. coming back makes it even crazier And hey, if the Vision series can capture even a fraction of what made Picard Season 3 awesome, Marvel might just turn the TV ship around.

It's pretty wild that Marvel's calling in Terry Matalas after his stellar work on Picard S3; bringing that level of character depth to the Vision series sounds like a solid move. And swapping in Doctor Doom for Kang as the big bad Talk about shaking things up—I’m here for it

Wow, swapping Kang for Doctor Doom and bringing back Robert Downey Jr. is a bold move that could seriously shake up the Multiverse Saga Really looking forward to seeing Terry Matalas's influence on the Vision series—that blend of new ideas with a respect for legacy sounds exactly like what Marvel needs right now.
