Marvel Television at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event presented the trailer for the new series “VisionQuest,” set to debut on Disney+ Oct. 14. The presentation came Aug. 14 during the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
“VisionQuest,” which features the return of Paul Bettany as Vision, concludes a trilogy of series that began with 2021’s “WandaVision” and continued with 2024’s “Agatha All Along.”
The first look at the series was presented on stage by Bettany, executive producer and president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige, and actor James Spader, who reprises his role of Ultron from the 2015 film Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The series finds Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, in hiding and searching for a new meaning for his existence. 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.
The cast also includes Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T’Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire and James D’Arcy. The series was created for television by Terry Matalas, who executive produces alongside Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Mary Livanos, Jac Schaeffer and Christopher J. Byrne. Roopesh Parekh serves as producer.
