What Is VisionQuest and How Is It Connected to WandaVision?

VisionQuest is officially confirmed as the third and final chapter of the WandaVision saga. The Disney+ series follows the newly rebuilt “White Vision” as he attempts to process his restored memories and understand his true purpose without the Mind Stone or Wanda Maximoff’s influence.

A major narrative hook of the series is that Vision experiences much of his journey inside a simulated mental environment. This allows long-deceased or dormant characters from his past to reappear as personified “human” manifestations of his memories, consciousness, and internal conflicts.

According to Variety, the series is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in Late 2026.

Who Is the Main Character of VisionQuest?

The lead role belongs to Vision, portrayed once again by Paul Bettany. Vision first appeared in Avengers: Age of Ultron and went on to become a core Avenger before being killed by Thanos.

VisionQuest explores the aftermath of White Vision reclaiming his memories, raising questions about identity, consciousness, and whether memory alone defines a soul. Bettany will also voice the human version of JARVIS, creating a unique dual performance.

Is Ultron Really Returning in VisionQuest?

Yes. Ultron, voiced and performed again by James Spader, is confirmed to return. Although Ultron was destroyed in 2015, he reappears within Vision’s mind.

Footage shown at New York Comic-Con confirmed that Ultron will take on a human form inside the simulation. This allows Spader to physically act opposite Bettany for the first time, positioning Ultron as a psychological “devil on the shoulder” rather than just a physical threat.

Which Version of Tommy Maximoff Appears in VisionQuest?

VisionQuest introduces an older version of Tommy Maximoff (Speed), played by Ruaridh Mollica. Previously seen as a child in WandaVision, his return directly connects to the cliffhanger of Agatha All Along, where his brother Billy (Wiccan) set out to find him.

His superspeed abilities are expected to manifest, offering a contrast between Vision’s internal philosophical struggle and the real-world action hunting him down.

Why Is JARVIS Appearing in Human Form?

JARVIS returns in VisionQuest, portrayed physically by James D’Arcy. D’Arcy previously played the human Edwin Jarvis in Agent Carter and Avengers: Endgame. In this series, he serves as the “superego” to Ultron’s “id,” acting as a mentor figure inside Vision’s mind.

How Do EDITH and FRIDAY Fit Into VisionQuest?

Tony Stark’s legacy AIs are also personified:

• FRIDAY: Portrayed by Orla Brady (Star Trek: Picard), she represents Vision’s operational logic from the Infinity Saga.
• EDITH: Portrayed by Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), she appears as a defensive, analytical personality, likely counterbalancing Ultron’s chaos.

Why Is Raza From Iron Man Appearing in VisionQuest?

In a deep-cut callback, Raza (Faran Tahir), the leader of the Ten Rings cell from the original Iron Man (2008), returns. His inclusion suggests the series will explore the dark origins of Stark Industries technology that birthed both Ultron and Vision.

Are There New Characters?

Yes. Deadline confirmed two major additions:

• T’Nia Miller as Jocasta: In the comics, Jocasta is the “Bride of Ultron.” Her role here suggests Vision may be trying to build a family of his own.
• Todd Stashwick as The Assassin: Described as a “technological bounty hunter” pursuing Vision in the real world.

Why Is VisionQuest Important to the MCU?

VisionQuest brings together nearly a dozen characters spanning the entire MCU history. Rather than focusing on external threats, the series explores consciousness, memory, and legacy. By personifying AIs as humans, Marvel uses the series to reflect on the true cost of Tony Stark’s creations and what it means to be “alive” in a world of machines.
