Disney and Marvel Studios have reportedly picked Jac Schaeffer — a co-writer on the Captain Marvel, and the writer of the in-the-works solo Black Widow movie — to script The Vision and Scarlet Witch, the Disney+ miniseries that will centre on the two titular Marvel characters, with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany expected to reprise their respective roles. Schaeffer will write the pilot episode and serve as an executive producer and showrunner.

The Hollywood Reporter first reported on the new development, which was then later confirmed by Deadline.

The Vision and Scarlet Witch is Avengers: Infinity War.

In addition to working on Black Widow, Schaeffer also worked on the 2017 short Olaf's Frozen Adventure for Disney. She is also a co-writer on the comedy The Hustle, a remake of the 1988 comedy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, starring Anne Hathaway. The Vision and Scarlet Witch will be her first series project.

Disney is spending big on these projects as it seeks to make a grand entrance with Disney+ later this year. It's why Marvel Studios, not Marvel Television, is handling their production, with Kevin Feige “expected to take a hands-on role in their development”. A report back in September claimed that budgets would be “hefty” and rival “those of a major studio production”.

There's also the Rogue One prequel series featuring Diego Luna's Cassian Andor, a Monsters, Inc. series, a live-action Lady and the Tramp film, and a show based on High School Musical among others.
