Paul Bettany’s Vision is on the cover of SFX 409 as we look forward to the android’s return in new MCU show VisionQuest.

VisionQuest
The latest MCU TV show sees Vision going on the run with a mysterious teenager who may be his reincarnated son. Showrunner Terry Matalas (the man who made Star Trek: Picard’s later seasons such a fan-pleasing delight) tells us how the series will “dig into who he is in ways that the films and WandaVision couldn’t”. We also catch up with stars Paul Bettany and Ruaridh Mollica.
Resident Evil
We don’t generally get excited about videogame adaptations, but the new take on the Capcom franchise is an exception, because the man in the director’s chair is Zach Cregger. We speak to the man behind the brilliant Weapons about making a Resident Evil movie that feels “simple”, “fresh” and “self-contained”.
Outlander: Blood Of My Blood
The spin-off of the Scotland-set historical fantasy series is back soon for a second season. We travel back in time to the 1920s (long story...) by going on location in Dunfermline, and interviewing producers Patrick Conroy and Maril Davis, director Azhur Saleem, and six of the cast: Hermione Corfield, Jeremy Irvine, Conor MacNeill, Jamie Roy Harriet Slater and Séamus McLean Ross.
American Horror Story
13 is the subtitle of the thirteenth season of American Horror Story – must have taken a while to brainstorm that, eh? It’s something of a crossover extravaganza, bringing together fan-favourite characters from throughout the anthology show’s 15-year run. We find out more from stars Leslie Grossman and Gabourey Sidibe.
Film is Fabulous!
There have been some really exciting discoveries of “lost” TV in the last year or so, with episodes of shows like Doctor Who and The Morecambe And Wise Show recovered. We speak to the people largely responsible: the team from charitable trust Film is Fabulous!, who’ve made it their mission to help film collectors and their families return treasures to the archives.
The Craft
Want to feel old? Teenage coven movie The Craft marks its 30th anniversary this year. We look back in the company of writer/director Andrew Fleming.
And that’s not all, feature-wise! We also pay a visit to Aardman Animations HQ to see the stop motion wizards at work on Shaun The Sheep: The Beast Of Mossy Bottom, delve into the design secrets of Sky’s supernatural show Possession, and reproduce some of Mark Gatiss’s personal on-set photos from A Ghost Story For Christmas. We also speak to Jake Arnott about his new horror novel, and get Emily St John Mandel to answer our author questionnaire.
Red Alert
And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: Nicolas Winding Refn’s return to movie-making, Her Private Hell; an old-school The Walking Dead videogame; the Academy Of Motion Pictures’ new horror exhibition; Joe Dante on some of his unrealised projects; plus the latest Alien, Doctor Strange, Hellraiser, Spawn and Spider-Woman comics titles.
