‘Vision Quest’ Footage: Paul Bettany Stars as White Vision Alongside Ultron, Human Versions of Jarvis and Friday — Plus His Son Tommy

Vision fans have been asking themselves “What is grief, if not love persevering?” ever since Paul Bettany‘s android character died in “Avengers: Infinity War” but then was reanimated in 2021’s Disney+ series “WandaVision.” The wait is nearly over, and Vision will return in the Disney+ series “Vision Quest” in 2026.

Marvel released the first trailer for “Vision Quest” exclusively to fans at New York Comic Con. The trailer showed Bettany back as White Vision from the ending of “WandaVision,” plus a regular-looking human version. There was also human versions of Ultron, who was voiced by James Spader in the second “Avengers” movie, and the AI programs Jarvis, Friday and Edith. At the end of the trailer, there was a brief shot of an adult Tommy, Vision and Wanda’s son that appeared as a child in “WandaVision.”

“Vision Quest” was described as the third part of a trilogy that included “WandaVision” and “Agatha All Along.” In the trailer, Bettany walks up to a white mansion and is greeted by human servants who are really just recreated AI programs. They include Jarvis, who was Tony Stark’s AI program that later became Vision; Friday, who replaced Jarvis and was the AI assistant to Stark and Spider-Man; and Edith, the AI program in Stark’s sunglasses from “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”

Spader reprises his role from “Avengers: Age of Ultron” as the titular genocidal AI, who Vision appeared to destroy at the end of the film (though it happened off camera). In addition to reappearing as Ultron, Spader was shown as a human in the trailer. “Vision Quest” co-stars Todd Stashwick, T’Nia Miller, Ruaridh Mollica and Emily Hampshire. Terry Matalas (“Star Trek: Picard”) created the show and is the showrunner and executive producer.

One of the last times Marvel fans saw Vision was when he had been killed by Thanos in “Avengers: Infinity War.” The purple supervillain had ripped the Mind Stone from Vision’s forehead, killing him instantly before he snapped and turned half the universe into dust. Then Vision was mysteriously reanimated and lived a peaceful, domestic life in “WandaVision” opposite Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch. However, it was slowly unveiled in the miniseries that Wanda was mentally unstable, and the quiet, TV sitcom-inspired life she lived with Vision was all a magical conjuring she had created out of her grief. It’s revealed that Wanda had stolen Vision’s lifeless body from the government organization S.W.O.R.D. and reanimated it with her dark, powerful magic. Wanda’s recreation of Vision had no memories of his former life nor death, and he soon fights a government-controlled, all-white Vision sent to destroy him. The evil White Vision regains all of his previous memories and flies off by himself.

Wanda then reappeared in 2022’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” where she undergoes a heel turn and becomes the film’s main villain. In 2024, Joe Locke (“Heartstopper”) played Wanda and Vision’s son Billy in the “WandaVision” spinoff “Agatha All Along,” starring Kathryn Hahn as the witch Agatha Harkness. That series ended with Agatha and Billy setting off to find Billy’s brother Tommy. It appears that “Vision Quest” will age up Tommy just as “Agatha” did for Billy.
