Wrapping up the quirky trilogy comprising WandaVision and Agatha All Along, VisionQuest will feature Paul Bettany as the Vision and James Spader returning as a heavy bearded Ultron. Kevin Feige introduced the duo at D23 and and Marvel revealed the trailer and poster for the upcoming series, which comes to Disney+ on October 14th.
While the idea of a two-hander starring Bettany and Spader debating the meaning of life in the face of Ai might have been one way to go…the series will actually have action and drama. And Scottish accents.
Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron’s influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.
VisionQuest is the final Marvel TV series announced for Disney+….will it be the last? Never say never.
