Marvel's VisionQuest Star James Spader Explains How Ultron Survived Avengers: Age Of Ultron — And It's Not As Far-Fetched As It Seems
Terry Matalas says Vision consults Ultron and other AI personas while in hiding, framing the series as an identity crisis story.
- Marvel Television will debut the streaming series VisionQuest in October, starring Paul Bettany as Vision, who escapes those seeking to weaponize him and is forced on the run with a mysterious boy named Thomas Shepard.
- Showrunner Terry Matalas describes Vision's internal journey, where he consults digital personas including Jarvis, EDITH, and Ultron to understand his nature. Vision uses this digital reality to keep the world at arm's length while processing trauma.
- James Spader reprises the Ultron role, joining a cast featuring Ruaridh Mollica and Emily Hampshire. Matalas leads the writing team, with the series directed by him alongside Christopher Byrne, Gandja Monteiro, and Vincenzo Natali.
- Bettany noted the series asks, "What is it that makes us actually human?" Fans expect potential connections to the Avengers sequels as the show concludes a trilogy following WandaVision and Agatha All Along.
- Vision's quiet existence ends when a bounty forces him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be his reincarnated son. To survive, Vision must unravel this enigma and resist Ultron's influence during the dangerous pursuit.
