The third and final installment of the WandaVision universe, VisionQuest, will focus on Paul Bettany’s synthetic superhero.
First introduced cinematically in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Vision was created by placing J.A.R.V.I.S. (also voiced by Paul Bettany) into a Vibranium body that villain Ultron (James Spader) intended to inhabit, with the help of the Mind Stone.
VisionQuest will see him return following the events of WandaVision, which picked up after the character’s tragic death in Avengers: Infinity War (2018) when Thanos killed him to complete his gauntlet with the Mind Stone.

What is VisionQuest about?
Rebooted and hiding out after escaping those who aimed to use him as a weapon, Vision searches for purpose by consulting F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S. and Ultron, all of the AI personas embedded into his programming. A bounty placed on his head threatens his existence lying low and sends him on the run with the mysterious Thomas Shepherd (Ruaridh Mollica), who might be Vision’s son reincarnate and brother to Joe Locke’s Billy Maximoff, formerly Billy Kaplan. Vision must get to the root of Thomas’ identity while resisting Ultron’s influence, evading capture and confronting his true nature.
Who is in the cast of VisionQuest?
Joining Bettany, Mollica and Spader are Todd Stashwick as the morally grey mercenary anti-hero Paladin as well as Faran Tahir, who reprises the role of Raza, Ten Rings leader from Iron Man (2008). Deadline has also confirmed that Lauren Morais and Diane Morgan have joined the cast, which also includes Orla Brady, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire and James D’Arcy.
We hear Morais will play Lisa Molinari, a character closely connected to Ruaridh Mollica’s Thomas Shepherd, and Morgan is playing an associate of Stashwick’s character, Paladin.
