Marvel Television's VisionQuest premieres on Disney+ next week, and Marvel Studios has just dropped the first critics TV spot for the series. It also features a first look at a mysterious robotic device and a scene that many fans are theorising has spoiled a major cameo.
That comes around the 0:22 mark, when we see someone's hand on Vision's chest, and blue energy emanating from it. Yes, it's seemingly the same blue energy used by one Billy Maximoff. It's safe to assume then that the hand next to him belongs to Tommy Maximoff.
We'll have to wait and see whether we get a family reunion in VisionQuest, but the main focus of this sneak peek is the enthusiastic praise the show has been receiving on social media.
Paul Bettany and James Spader are called "magnetic" (that quote comes from yours truly), with another critic enthusing that the former "shines" in every episode. Spader, meanwhile, "steals the show," and VisionQuest is hailed as "trippy and transcendent" and a "genuine love letter to WandaVision."
The review embargo lifts on Monday, which is earlier than other recent MCU projects on Disney+. That suggests Marvel Studios is very confident about this one, and if the early praise on social media is the same in full reviews, then this could be one of Marvel Television's biggest success stories yet.
Check out this new VisionQuest TV spot in the players below.
In VisionQuest, Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponise him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron.
His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision's son, reincarnated. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron's influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.
VisionQuest stars Paul Bettany, James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T'Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire and James D'Arcy.
