AceShowbiz - More details about Disney Plus' planned Scarlet Witch TV series starring Elisabeth Olsen have made its way out online. A new report seemingly confirms the involvement of the character's lover Vision on the series as the possible title has been revealed.

According to Deadline, Paul Bettany is expected to reprise his "Avengers: Infinity War" role as the member of the Avengers on the series, which is allegedly to have six to eight episodes. The new report also suggests that the upcoming series will be actually titled "Vision and the Scarlet Witch".

The alleged official title must sound familiar for the comic book fans as it's an allusion to two important arcs. Back in 1982, Bill Mantlo penned a four-issue miniseries called "Vision and the Scarlet Witch", spinning a plot out of their recent marriage. The author described the couple as "the strangest wedded couple in the world" as he pitted them against All Hallows Eve as well as Nuklo.

The story concluded with Wanda Maximoff learning the truth about her origin, that she's actually the daughter of Magneto, the Master of Magnetism.

In addition, Marvel released a second limited series entitled "Vision and the Scarlet Witch" three years later. The series followed the couple leaving the Avengers after Vision's mind had been corrupted by his creator, Ultron.

As for the new series, other details, including the plot, are still kept under wraps. However, it is widely speculated that it will take place before the events of "Avengers: Infinity War" in which they both didn't make it to the end.

Rumors of Marvel Studios developing movie-budget limited series centering on several Marvel characters emerged back in September. Among the characters to get the spin-off series are Loki, Falcon and Winter Soldier. Tom Hiddleston is expected to reprise his role as the God of Mischief on the planned 6-to-8-part series.

In October, it was revealed that Falcon and Winter Soldier were set to team up on a new project with Malcolm Spellman ("Empire") onboard as the writer. Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie were reported to suit up again as the superheroes.
