VISIONQUEST Showrunner Teases WANDAVISION Connections; Paul Bettany on the ‘psychopath’ in the mind of White Vision

Marvel Television’s first trailer VisionQuest premiered in New York this weekend, and while it hasn’t been released online (and still hasn’t leaked), we learned some intriguing new details about the series during the panel.

Alongside the confirmation that Ruaridh Mollica’s “Tucker” will be the vessel of Tommy Maximoff, aka Speed, it was announced that Iron Man’s robot assistants DUM-E and U will be part of the show.

We also had confirmation that VisionQuest is marketed as the final part of a trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued in Agatha throughoutand showrunner Terry Matalas revealed that the upcoming series will “directly” connect to Marvel’s first-ever Disney+ series while speaking to Phase Hero.

“WandaVision is one of my favorite things, I’ve watched it 3 times. So it must be this good. This ties directly into WandaVision.”

There has been a lot of speculation that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch will make her return to the MCU in VisionQuestand Matalas’ comments may well support the theory.

In a separate interview with Collider, star Paul Bettany revealed that the series will take us inside Vision’s “cluttered” mind.

“One of the things that’s fun is we finally get to see what Vision’s mind looks like, and it’s more cluttered than you might think. He clearly saved, copied and pasted [the AIs] to keep them alive in his head. One of them, of course, has to be kept behind a pretty impressive firewall because he’s a psychopath. But he’s an intelligent man.

This “psychopath” is almost certainly James Spader’s Ultron – who has been confirmed to appear in both human and robotic forms – but the Age of Ultron The villain is far from being the only AI character who will factor into the story.

Emilie Hampshire (Shit’s Creek, 12 Monkeys, The Rig) recently joined the cast as the human version of EDITH (Even Dead, I’m The Hero). This technology was created by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) before being passed on to Peter Parker (Tom Holland) after Iron Man’s disappearance in Avengers: Endgame.

Kerry Condon was rumored to appear as FRIDAY in human form, but we recently learned that Picard‘s Orla Brady will actually play the role. James D’Arcy will also be returning as Edwin Jarvis in some capacity.

T’nia Miller (Foundation, The Fall of House Usher, La Fortuna) is set to play Ultron’s bride, Jocasta, described as “cunning, powerful, and driven by vengeance.”

Finally, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s head of television and animation, hinted that we could be seeing some sort of Agents of SHIELD renaissance, perhaps even in VisionQuest.

“Oh yeah,” Winderbaum said when asked if he was a fan of the defunct series. “I actually just rewatched all seven seasons last year, and this show really holds up. There are times in this show where they hit their stride and there will be a five, six episode run that is amazing. I love this cast.”

Perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but many seem to think it would be too much of a coincidence if Winderbaum randomly chose to give AT a complete rereading.

I just announced to #Nycc: The trilogy that began with #WandaVision will end with Marvel Television #VisionQuestcoming to @DisneyPlus in 2026.
