Everything We Know About Marvel Television’s ‘Vision’ Series

Conceived as the final installment in a trilogy that includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along, Marvel Television’s upcoming Vision Quest began as the next chapter from WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer. In May 2024, acclaimed Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas joined the project, bringing with him a team of trusted collaborators: Chris Monfette, Cindy Appel, Matt Okumura, and Michael A. Taylor — many of whom worked with him on Star Trek: Picard.


When we last saw White Vision, he had just left Wanda’s hex, his original memories restored by the Vision created within it. However, his emotional state remained ambiguous — does he possess any capacity for human feeling? That mystery lies at the heart of Vision Quest (also referred to as the Untitled Vision Series), which will continue his journey of finding his identity, memory, and humanity.



Here’s everything we know so far about the series:


THE CAST


Paul Bettany is set to reprise his role as Vision in the series. His journey in the MCU began as the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man films and evolved into a full-fledged Avenger by the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. By WandaVision, Vision had become one of the most emotionally resonant and complex characters in the franchise. While it's hard to imagine Vision without Wanda by his side, Vision Quest aims to explore what becomes of him in her absence.


Ruaridh Mollica is a mysterious addition to the Vision Quest cast. According to Deadline, he’ll be playing a character named Tucker, but there’s a strong possibility that the name is a placeholder or a misdirect. This wouldn’t be the first time Marvel has kept a character’s true identity under wraps. In Agatha All Along, Joe Locke was credited as “Teen” before being revealed as Billy Maximoff / Billy Kaplan, the reincarnated son of Wanda and Vision. Given the precedent, there’s substantial speculation that Mollica could be playing either Billy’s twin brother, Tommy, or perhaps Vin, a synthezoid son Vision created in the comics.


James Spader is also set to return as the voice of Ultron in Vision Quest, marking a major comeback for one of the MCU’s most formidable villains. It’s a fitting development since Vision was only born because the Avengers intercepted the body Ultron intended for himself. Their fates have always been intertwined. While Ultron was seemingly destroyed at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, his consciousness once resided in the vast reaches of the internet. It’s entirely plausible that some fragment of him survived, waiting for the right moment to resurface.


T'Nia Miller has been cast as Jocasta in the series, according to Daniel Richtman and Deadline. Jocasta was originially built to be Ultron's bride in the comics. Nexus Point News have previously reported that Jocasta would appear in the series, and she is described as being cunning, powerful, determined, and motivated by revenge. 


Todd Stashwick, a frequent collaborator of Terry Matalas from their time on Star Trek: Picard, has joined the cast of Vision Quest as an assassin pursuing Vision for the powerful and advanced technology he embodies, per THR.


Faran Tahir will reprise his role as Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings from the original Iron Man film, according to Deadline. Although Raza was believed to have been killed by Obadiah Stane, his return in Vision Quest opens the door to intriguing possibilities. One likely scenario is that his appearance will come via flashbacks to the era when Vision existed as J.A.R.V.I.S. As Vision explores his fragmented past, revisiting key moments from his time as J.A.R.V.I.S. could be essential to understanding his full evolution.


Emily Hampshire, known for her work with Terry Matalas on 12 Monkeys, has joined the cast of Vision Quest. Nexus Point News can corroborate Hampshire's involvement. According to scooper Daniel Richtman, she is reportedly playing the human form of E.D.I.T.H., the advanced AI introduced in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
