Paul Bettany Returns as Vision

After WandaVision the future of White Vision was a major unanswered question. VisionQuest is finally continuing the journey of that character.

In the trailer we can see Ultron influencing the mind of Vision. Vision might need his help, especially in the mission of saving Thomas Sheperd.

How is VisionQuest Connected to WandaVision?

To understand VisionQuest it is important to understand WandaVision.  In WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff created a reality in Westview, where she was living a family life with Vision and their children. But in the end Wanda’s created reality disappeared and along with that Vision was finished.

At the same S.W.O.R.D. White Vision activated. After his confrontation with Wanda’s Vision, White Vision got his memories and he left for an unknown destination. Now VisionQuest will continue that unanswered storyline.

However, according to currently available official information Wanda is not confirmed in the cast of VisionQuest. That is why we cannot reach any conclusion regarding Wanda’s possible appearance. But considering the show’s connection with Billy and Tommy, Wanda’s legacy will clearly remain important to the story.

Why VisionQuest is Important for MCU Fans

VisionQuest is not a standalone superhero series. This is the conclusion of WandaVision trilogy and finally gives a new direction to Vision’s long-running MCU storyline. This series will explore themes like identity, artificial intelligence, family, memory and humanity.

Vision himself is a unique MCU character because he is neither completely human nor simply a machine. His story always explored the question that what is the actual meaning of being a human. Now, when Ultron is present in his mind, this conflict will be more complicated.
