It’s been nearly 20 years since Faran Tahir first portrayed Raza, the leader of the Afghanistan-based Ten Rings faction who menaced Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in 2008’s “Iron Man.”

ComicBook.com reports that the actor is now set to return to the MCU in Marvel Studios’ upcoming “Vision” series on Disney+.

Tahir appeared only once in the MCU. His character, Raza, kidnaps Tony Stark to force him into building a Jericho missile, which ultimately sets Stark on the journey to becoming the armored avenger, Iron Man.

Plot details for “Vision” have yet to be revealed but the show will be based on the Marvel Comics superhero of the same name, which was introduced in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015). He’s a Synthezoid created by Ultron but stolen and brought to life by the Avengers using Iron Man’s J.A.R.V.I.S. AI. Bettany originally voiced J.A.R.V.I.S.

Marvel Studios has hired “Star Trek: Picard” executive producer Terry Matalas to take over as showrunner.

The Vision series is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.
