'VisionQuest' Star Officially Comments Status in 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Secret Wars'

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jocasta is a complex character with a rich history. In Jocasta's first appearance in VisionQuest, she was portrayed by T’Nia Miller. This version of Jocasta was significantly different from her comic book counterpart, as she was based on Josephine Carrington, an AI developer who passed away in 2008 and had her mind uploaded into a computer.

Miller played various versions of Jocasta, with and without her memories, which showcased the character's fragmented state of mind. The actress revealed that the finale featured an improvised dance sequence with James Spader, which included "hip thrusts" and a "twirling mustache," causing both actors to laugh uncontrollably. Miller emphasized that playing a complex Marvel villain like Jocasta was a dream come true, as it allowed her to explore a character with a generous heart and a multi-layered personality.

She also hinted that Jocasta might reappear in future Marvel projects, such as Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
