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.
- In October, Marvel Television will debut the streaming series VisionQuest, 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.
- To understand his nature, Vision consults digital personas including Jarvis, EDITH, and Ultron, according to showrunner Terry Matalas. Vision uses this internal digital reality to keep the world at arm's length while processing trauma.
- James Spader returns as Ultron, joining a cast that features Ruaridh Mollica and Emily Hampshire. Matalas leads the writing team, with directing duties shared by Christopher Byrne, Gandja Monteiro, and Vincenzo Natali.
- Fans expect potential connections to the Avengers sequels as the series concludes a trilogy following WandaVision and Agatha All Along. Bettany noted the show asks, "What is it that makes us actually human?"
- Vision's quiet existence ends when a bounty forces him on the run with Thomas Shepard, who may be his reincarnated son. He must resist Ultron's influence and unravel this enigma to survive.
