Marvel Studios has a new idea to cut VFX costs for the upcoming Vision Quest series.
New plot details for Vision Quest reveal that Ultron, who last appeared in Avengers: Age of Ultron, will return in a human form.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, in his latest Patreon post, Vision Quest will follow White Vision (Paul Bettany) as he searches for his memories and humanity. He travels to Madripoor, where he finds Ultron in his human form — and from there, the story continues.
To reduce VFX costs, Marvel will have its AI characters appear in human form for most of Vision Quest. This strategy allows them to target an early 2026 release.
Deadline recently reported that Emily Hampshire has officially been cast as the human form of E.D.I.T.H. (Even Dead, I’m The Hero), a sophisticated artificial intelligence created by Tony Stark as part of his augmented reality security and defense system.
We previously reported that Tony Stark‘s AIs, J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just A Rather Very Intelligent System) and F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth), will return in the show.
Filming is now underway at Pinewood Studios in London. The show, created by Terry Matalas for Disney+, is the second spin-off series from 2021’s WandaVision. Matalas serves as both showrunner and director. Vision Quest follows White Vision (Bettany) as he tries to regain his memory and humanity. After Thanos killed him in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, Vision returned in WandaVision.
Bettany returns as Vision, with James Spader reprising his role as Ultron. Todd Stashwick joins the cast as an assassin, while Ruaridh Mollica plays a character named Tucker. T’Nia Miller takes on the role of Jocasta, and Hampshire as the human form of E.D.I.T.H. Also, Faran Tahir will return as Raza, the leader of the terrorist organization Ten Rings.
Vision Quest will premiere on Disney+ in 2026.
