Marvel unveils first VisionQuest trailer, reveals Ultrons return to the MCU
James Spader is back as the genocidal AI in Paul Bettany's Disney+ series
At the D23 event in Anaheim, California, Marvel Studios unveiled the inaugural trailer for their Disney+ series, VisionQuest. The trailer provides the most detailed glimpse yet of Paul Bettany reprising his role as the sentient AI, Vision. In the trailer, Vision is depicted as a fugitive, struggling with an existential crisis following his resurrection in the WandaVision series.
As he searches for answers, Vision engages in conversations with various artificial intelligences, including FRIDAY (Orla Bradley), DUM-E (Henry Lewis), JARVIS (James D Arcy), and Ultron (James Spader).
In the footage, Ultron is shown in human form, while the other AIs created by Tony Stark seem less than amenable to his presence. Given that Ultron almost annihilated humanity in Avengers: Age of Ultron, such reactions are not surprising. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has stated that VisionQuest will be the concluding chapter in the company's "Wanda trilogy," following the previously released WandaVision and Agatha All Along.
Additionally, Feige has hinted that this will be Marvel's final live-action Disney+ series for the time being, as part of a broader shift away from television in recent months. This move has already resulted in the cancellation of the Wonder Man series, which faced criticism from fans after it was abruptly renewed for a second season before being pulled. VisionQuest is set to debut on Disney+ on October 14.
