‘VisionQuest’ Trailer Lets Ultron Loose Again in Marvel’s New Disney+ Series

The latest "VisionQuest" trailer for Marvel's new Disney+ series showcases a complex family dynamic involving fathers and sons. James Spader's AI character, Ultron, is depicted as tormenting and cooperating with his AI son, Vision (played by Paul Bettany), while Ultron occupies Vision's mind. This relationship is mirrored by Vision's estranged bond with his son, Tommy Maximoff (played by Ruaridh Mollica).

Tommy reveals in the trailer that he had a family that included a mother and father, but he now struggles with memories of someone he is not.

These memories likely refer to the events of "Agatha All Along," where Tommy's brother Billy (Joe Locke) transferred his soul into the body of a recently drowned boy named Thomas Shepherd. However, Billy is not mentioned in the trailer, but his actions have evidently affected the series. If Vision's plans succeed, a family reunion might be in the offing.

The trailer also hints at the surreal and mind-bending visuals that defined the previous series "WandaVision." This visual style may be appreciated by fans of "WandaVision," as "VisionQuest" is being positioned as the final chapter in its "WandaVision" trilogy, with "Agatha All Along" serving as the middle chapter.

Additionally, the trailer suggests that Spader's Ultron will be striving for his own freedom throughout the series. At one point, he commands Vision to "free" him in order to save Tommy, and later remarks that he will "finish" what he started "all those years ago." Throughout the trailer, there are glimpses of Vision clashing with various versions of Ultron, indicating that Tommy's Avenger will have to contend with more than just his own memories. "VisionQuest" is set to premiere on Disney+ on October 14.
