With Ruaridh Mollica confirmed to be playing the vessel for the soul of Tommy Maximoff, James Spader set to return as Ultron and a mercenary on his tail, Paul Bettany‘s White Vision will have plenty on his plate in the upcoming Marvel Television streaming series VisionQuest. All of that is complicated, of course, by the fact that the synthezoid Avenger doesn’t truly know who is is…or was.
“You’re meeting a Vision who has died and come back to life, who is sort of reconnecting with his memories, and his feelings, and is going through a bit of an identity quest,” explained showrunner Terry Matalas, who took creative control of the project from Jac Schaeffer. And while there’s certainly a timer running on how long Vizh can stay on the sidelines and how long the studio can wait to reunite the Maximoff twins, it sounds as though the story told in VisionQuest–or at least some its characters–could live on beyond a first season.
When asked by The Direct if a second season of the series was a possibility or if it would be a one-off, standalone series, Matalas left the door open. “I think that’s up to the Marvel and Disney Gods. It doesn’t necessarily have to,” Matalas said. “There is a group of characters in situations that are certainly on their own island, if you will. Trying to figure out how to say this… You could very much see these characters again, if you want.“
Outside of the clever play on words about characters on their own island (most of the series is reportedly set on Madripoor), Matalas‘ words indicate that at least some of the series main characters find themselves positioned for a future in the MCU even if VisionQuest is the end of the WandaVision trilogy. Even if Matalas is being cagey, there are plenty of ways a series full of A.I. characters could live on beyond the Multiverse Saga.
