Vision and Scarlet Witch: Captain Marvel co-writer drafted in for Avengers spin-off TV series

While there have been multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe-linked TV shows released over the past few years, none have centred on any of the actual Avengers.

That’s all about to change. Disney is currently working on several superhero shows featuring A-list actors, set for release on their upcoming streaming service, Disney+. 

The Hollywood Reporter has released some new details on one of the shows, confirming that The Vision and Scarlet Witch finally has a writer attatched.

Jac Schaeffer, one of the scribes being the upcoming Captain Marvel, has been lined up to run the series, which will focus on the two Avengers characters. 

Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen will reprise their roles. Tom Hiddleston has also been confirmed to have a solo series, focussing on his god of mischief, Loki. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan will also reprise their roles as Falcon and The Winter Soldier for a team-up series.  

Meanwhile, the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War – which saw Winter Soldier, Vision, Loki, Scarlett Witch and Falcon all die – has a release date and trailer. Read everything we know about Avengers: Endgame here.
