VisionQuest is a spin-off from and sequel to the miniseries WandaVision (2021), it is the 18th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is part of Phase Six of the MCU.
The series shares continuity with the films of the MCU. It follows the synthezoid Vision as he attempts to understand who he is by communicating with AI personas embedded in his programming, and goes on the run with a mysterious teenager who may be his reincarnated son. Matalas serves as showrunner and a director.
Streaming on Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Vision. A Paul Bettany reprises his role as Vision from previous MCU media, starring alongside James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Emily Hampshire, James D'Arcy, Ben Crompton, T'Nia Miller, Art Malik, Mary McDonnell, and Joe Locke.
It was described as the final instalment in a trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along (2024). Casting for the AI personas included some returning MCU characters and actors.
VisionQuest premiered mid-October, and ran for eight episodes, concluding this week.
After being resurrected in WandaVision (2021), the synthezoid Vision lives in hiding while he attempts to understand who he is by communicating with various AI personas that are embedded in his programming. When a bounty is placed on Vision's head, he goes on the run with a mysterious teenager who may be his reincarnated son.
So is superhero fatigue still here. One word answer. Yep. This was weird AF. Interesting to see former Blacklist lead, James Spader make his Marvel debut.
Next up for Marvel is the slightly darker, Daredevil: Born Again's shock third and final season. That means Disney+ has hardly any superhero content on the horizon. There is some Star Wars on the way, however, the renewal of Wonder Man, then swift cancellation makes me feel the superhero series are on the go slow.
So how does VisionQuest warp? Spoilers ahead..... You have been warned.
The Client is revealed to be Virgil Horton, Phineas' grandson and Carrington's husband, who restored Vision and created Jocasta to transfer his consciousness into Vision and reunite with Carrington.
Paladin survives with E.D.I.T.H.'s help and joins Tommy and Lisa in freeing Vision and Jocasta. Virgil destroys Jocasta after she attacks him, but her nanobots merge with Ultron, allowing him to regain a body. Ultron kills Virgil and attempts to wipe out humanity, but Vision traps him in a television sitcom and convinces him to stand down by discussing grief.
Ultron destroys the nanobots, retaining some for himself before leaving. Billy Maximoff arrives and helps Tommy restore Vision, who leaves his Mindspace with the other AIs. Paladin and Lisa reform with E.D.I.T.H.'s guidance, while Tommy and Vision head to visit Billy in Eastview.
In a mid-credits scene, Ultron is revealed to have retained Jocasta's data drive.
In a post-credits scene, a hooded figure awakens Wanda at Mount Wundagore, seeking her power.
