The first teaser for VisionQuest is expected to be released online following its debut at D23 on Friday, but in the meantime, we have a new look at the Disney+ WandaVision spin-off via some photos of the show's display.
The display spotlights the White Vision's suit, as well as some concept art featuring a mysterious fiery figure in the center of a room (or a town?) engulfed in flames.
Is the original Human Torch, Jim Hammond, set to make his MCU debut in VisionQuest?
Hammond was a synthetic human created by Professor Phineas T. Horton, and served as a member of The Invaders during WWII. We know this show will spotlight various android and AI characters, so this classic hero's inclusion would make sense.
If you look closely at this character's chest and shoulder in the image below, the design does resemble the costume Hammond donned in his later comic book appearances.
VisionQuest is set to premiere on October 14, 2026. You'll find a brief description of the teaser that debuted during Disney's Upfronts in May below via The Wrap.
“We see Bettany in his human form, essentially watching Vision’s memories like a film. When last we saw him, he was the White Vision that we saw fly off at the end of WandaVision. He’s been given his memories back without having lived them, so now he’s trying to figure out his humanity once more, noting he has none of the emotions the first Vision did. There to help him — and taunt him — is Ultron, once again voiced by James Spader. But Spader also appears in human form too."
Bettany revealed what excited him most about VisionQuest last year.
“One of the things that’s fun about that is that we finally get to see what it’s like inside Vision’s mind, and it’s more cluttered than you would think. He’s clearly been saving and copying and pasting [the AIs] to keep them alive inside his head. One of them, of course, has to be kept behind a pretty impressive firewall because he’s a psychopath. But he’s a clever one.”
This "psychopath" is almost certainly Ultron, but the Age of Ultron villain is far from the only AI character that'll factor into the story.
Emily Hampshire (Schitt's Creek, 12 Monkeys, The Rig) also joined the cast as a human version of E.D.I.T.H. (Even Dead, I'm The Hero). This tech was created by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) before being passed on to Peter Parker (Tom Holland) following Iron Man's demise in Avengers: Endgame.
Kerry Condon was rumored to appear as F.R.I.D.A.Y. in human form, but we recently learned that Picard's Orla Brady will actually play the role. James D'Arcy will also be back as Edwin Jarvis in some capacity.
T’nia Miller (Foundation, The Fall of the House of Usher, La Fortuna) is set to play the Bride of Ultron, Jocasta, who is described as "cunning, powerful and driven by revenge."
Finally, Ruaridh Mollica's "Tucker" will be the vessel for Tommy Maximoff, aka Speed.
