This weekend at New York Comic Con, a few more details were revealed about VisionQuest. First off, the series will conclude the trilogy that began with WandaVision and then continues with Agatha All Along. Marvel Cinematic Universe Paul Bettany will return to portray Vision and was on hand to share the news at New York Comic Con. The new series was helmed by Terry Matalas, who was also the showrunner for the final season of Star Trek: Picard.
Those who were at the panel also got a look at some footage of the show. This included some important cast members like Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H. James Spader will also be returning as Ultron, a role he portrayed in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. The footage ended with a shot of Ruaridh Mollica, appearing in a CC-TV recording where he’s identified as Thomas Shepherd.
Paul Bettany shared about where Vision will be found in the upcoming series that follows the events of WandaVision. “What’s different about Vision right now is that Red Vision gave Vision all of his memories, including the memories from within the Hex. But White Vision is having real difficulty connecting to them,” explained Bettany. “So he has the memories, but he doesn’t have the emotions and the feelings, and I think that’s what the journey is. White Vision’s journey during the show is about his attempt to connect to those memories and who he was… but with lasers!”
There were plenty of questions left unanswered, however. Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel Television, was asked if VisionQuest will play with genres in the way WandaVision did with sitcoms. Winderbaum teased, “The less we say, the better,” said Winderbaum. “But what I will say about Terry’s vision for the show is that he knows the lore. So if you’ve been following the MCU all these years, you’re going to be very, very, very rewarded.”
