VisionQuest First Look Released By Marvel Studios Following Premiere Date Announcement

Following last night's premiere date reveal, Marvel Studios has released the first official image from the upcoming VisionQuest series...

The Punisher: One Last Kill has only just hit Disney+, but during Disney's latest Upfront presentation in New York's Javits Center on Tuesday, we finally got some official updates on the MCU's next small-screen outing, VisionQuest.

The WandaVision spin-off is set to premiere on October 14, 2026. A breakdown of the teaser that screened did the rounds online last night (see below), but Marvel Studios has now revealed a first look at the series via a series of Instagram photos.

The image appears to show Vision (Paul Bettany) in human form, but there's speculation that this might actually be Ultron (James Spader). As for the house he's approaching, there's a theory that it could be the residence of Vision's family from the comics (wife Virginia, son Vin, and daughter Viv), who have been rumoured to appear.

Here's a brief description of the teaser 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.

@OneMoreTime - There's literally a reboot coming.

This sounds more interesting than I initially expected, hopefully they can make it as fun an trippy as WandaVision. I dont know how far down the rabbit hole they’d go but an Alice in Wonderland/ Eternal Sunshine esque journey through his memories would be pretty cool

@Ha1frican - honestly given the showrunners previous work , I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a more psychological & philosophical story then more spectacle heavy which is fine with me since that’s where this Vision tends to shine imo.

Damn , that color saturation is surprisingly more vibrant then I expected..

My guess is that is Ultron approaching the “house” in Visions mind where he and the other AI’s like FRIDAY & EDITH amongst others reside but we’ll see.

Anyway , looking forward to the show!!.

So the entire show, they will be in human form.

Great.

Had it not been, you'd complain about something else.

See you on that timeline~

@CreateNowSlpL8r - At no point whatsoever does it imply they will be in human form the entire show. Your "creative mind" is terrible.

@MrDandy - this is exactly how it's going to go. They're fighting in their minds and not in reality until the end.

@FinnFangFoom - exactly what I imagined as well. Sounds boring and is an obvious play to try and keep the budget down.

@TemporarilyHere - Had it not been "You." Right, as you post from an alt created in April. You know me soooo well. Its hard to keep up with you guys either blocking people or switching accounts.

@MrDandy I dont think so, budget reasons alone. They arent getting the viewers to justify it spending the money on vfx (plus they just fired all of the vfx people).

@Tonic24k - "We see Bettany in his human form, essentially watching Vision’s memories like a film." "But "Spader also appears in human form too." You know they casted the other AI's as human too right? My "creative mind" might be terrible but my reading comprehension isn't. And why is it that guys like you can't make a point without an insult? Do you think somehow that makes you right? The last 5 out of 7 MCU movies failed financially. They can't chart a show on D+. Besides your feelings, why exactly is your position the right one since every project they put out fails? You're free to enjoy whatever you want but you feelings people are just shooting the messenger.

@FinnFangFoom @Tonic24k - At least other people can read. I dont know why some people just have to defend Marvel no matter what they do. They havent had a successful project since Deadpool. (Spider-man is a Sony property). Daredevil didnt even chart.

@CreateNowSlpL8r -

Oh, so you admit that it's a "you" problem, not the show's issue. Good to know.

As for why this account is new, feel free to ask your enabler. Assuming he's done covering for MAGA morons and anti-MCU trolls like your kind.

In the meantime, keep mistaking your contrarianism for enlightenment~

@TemporarilyHere - My enabler?

Its a comic book movie site. If you want to make accusations, why don't you actually say it? I dont know who the F would enable me on this site. I doubt even the site owner ever agrees with me. I know the writers don't but see I don't personally attack Josh or Mark or the rest of them. I make an argument. Thats the difference. Either way, when you hide behind an alt, you have no credibility. As if you are so important you can't reveal your identity or more likely, you got banned for breaking the TOS but you blame it on ...MAGA?

I'm not anti-MCU. I paid to see each movie and reviewed some of them on this site. I was pretty fair in my review so objectively, lumping me in with trolls is inaccurate. How can you give the FF a 3.5 out of 5 and be a troll.

Either way, typical of people like you. You asked me a questions and when I quote the source, you tell me its a me problem. Yes, the fact that I can read an article is a "me" problem. I dont block people, hide behind alts or blame ghosts and shadows to defend my position. You on the otherhand...

Lol, sure you ain't.

"I am well within my rights as a user and as a human being to present a certain company's failures as laughable and anyone else's as too daring for the common masses to comprehend. I (claim to have) paid for it, therefore I have every right to hate on it as much as I want, and you cannot stop me!"

Origame, is that you?
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 5/14/2026, 5:14 PM
@TemporarilyHere - ah, I see. You think I'm an alt even though I've written articles here.

I did previously post under another ID except as opposed to you, I announced it. Ironically, it was in response to Nate suggesting I write an article when I was argueing with people like you. See, the board was turning too toxic and I was becoming a part of it. So instead of calling people names and being part of it, I wrote my thoughts in articles and expressed myself properly.

You might not agree with me but my prior critques are written with research, often citing sources, and at least thought out. You are welcome to counter them as opposed to bitching about it in comments. You must be young. As if one made up internet name makes a difference.

I've corresponded with the site owner and some of the writers in email, they know exactly who I am and who I'm not. That isn't the point though is it? You came in swinging about this show and still don't have an argument.

No. Instead, you are carrying on that the site in "enabling" MAGA people on a comic book movie site for what purpose exactly? You don't know. You are too busy looking for helicopters flying outside out your house or something.

Finally, "therefore I have every right to hate on it."

ugh, yes. That is exactly how it works except critism to you is hate. All I said they are going to be human the entire time. You think my opinion is why Marvel and Star Wars is failing? No, the pretenders who don't actually pay for D+, watch the shows or pay to see the movies is why. I put the stats in my first reply but you ignored them. So why don't you reply with your actual account so I can clap you properly. Then, you can submit your own article refuting anything I've written.

...and I'll clap you again.

@CreateNowSlpL8r -

I'm sorry, you'll "clap" me? Oh, honey... That's what you said last time, only to tag other users out of nowhere, in a desperate plea for ratio when nobody had upvoted you.

Feel free to guess who I am, though, or to look through my commenting history to figure it out.

Unlike actual narcissists, I don't enjoy repeating myself.

'Til then~

Reminds me of Brainiac always being in human form on Smallville to keep the budget down.

Sucks that Marvel has run out of money.

I wish they kept Jac Shaeffer from WandaVision and Agatha to run this. She killed it on those first two shows. However, still excited for this. This is kind of season 3 of WandaVision and all of them have been some of the best MCU stuff on Disney+
MotherGooseUPus
MotherGooseUPus - 5/13/2026, 3:07 PM
@MrDandy - agreed about Jac. I put Wandavision on the top of the list for Disney + along with Loki S1 and DD BA S2

would LOVE to see a more comic, or should i say, better looking Ultron (not human form) by the end of this show and hopefully somehow re-released into the MCU

@MotherGooseUPus - sadly like most of the MCU D- content this will promise the earth and deliver very little.

Same Wanda show not excited for this
Spike101
Spike101 - 5/13/2026, 4:54 PM
This is going to be such a let down, it’ll be almost entirely in human form whatever that is, with a few flash backs using previously shot material.
TheMandalorian
TheMandalorian - 5/14/2026, 7:55 AM
@Spike101 - exactly! It seems like the show will be taking place in Vision’s head…

So why does any of it matter? If it’s not taking place in the real world? And affecting other characters?
Spike101
Spike101 - 5/14/2026, 10:45 AM
@TheMandalorian - Pretty much most of the D- shows have been a complete letdown other than WandaVision which was very clever and entertaining, Born Again although the quality of that is questionable in places, Werewolf by night which was almost perfect and a few moments in Moon Knight and Hawkeye. They always seem to promise the earth up front and deliver very little leaving you thinking what might have been…

The End....
