“Vision”

The Emmy winner’s role in Disney+’s upcoming series has not been disclosed at this time. McDonnell will star alongside returning MCU alum Paul Bettany as Vision and James Spader as Ultron. The series serves as a follow-up to his hit series, “WandaVision.” Terry Matalas (“Star Trek: Picard“) serves as showrunner. Photography for the project wrapped this summer, and a release window is still not set.

“One Second After”

This film will adapt William R. Forstchen’s 2009 sci-fi novel of the same name. “One Second After” is directed by Scott Rogers from a script by J. Michael Straczynski. It will star McDonnell, Josh Holloway, and Hannah John-Kamen.

The film takes place after an electromagnetic pulse attack throws society into chaos. It follows Jen (McDonnell), mother-in-law to John (Holloway), who looks after his daughters in this new world.
