5 Burning VisionQuest Questions Marvel Fans Are Asking After The Finale

“VisionQuest” saw the return of Paul Bettany as Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time since the character flew into the horizon at the end of “WandaVision,” finally revealing what happened to White Vision while leaving fans with many more questions.

The latest MCU series to arrive on Disney+ found Vision struggling with his restored memories and still lacking the feeling that once accompanied those memories. In his efforts to rediscover the man he once was, Vision sought advice from other AI characters from Marvel’s past, including James Spader’s sinister Ultron. His new life spent hiding from SWORD and sinister bounty hunters also brought Vision face to face with the reincarnated Tommy and Billy Maximoff, Vision’s magically created twin sons from “WandaVision.” Over the course of the series, Vision accepted his own identity, managed to heal his relationship with Ultron, and started a new life with his sons.

The series also introduced Jocasta, a synthezoid modeled after Dr. Josephine Carrington, a neuroscientist and AI pioneer. Determined to finish her life’s work and use nanobots to heal – or control – humanity, Jocasta embarked on an unlikely romance with Ultron until it was seemingly destroyed. The season finale showed this loss, seemingly setting Ultron’s existence on a new trajectory. “VisionQuest” thus evolved the stories of several major characters in the MCU in a significant way. However, with many threads still unresolved, fans are wondering what could happen next.

Perhaps the MCU’s most unlikely enemies-to-lovers story, Ultron and Jocasta met on difficult terms halfway through “VisionQuest.” But soon after, Jocasta invited the Avengers’ old enemy into her databanks for a drink and a shocking metallic kiss. Ultron’s true intentions with Jocasta were constantly questioned, but the feelings that emerged between the two tyrannical AIs ultimately proved true; which broke Ultron’s synthetic heart when Jocasta was killed by her creator, Virgil Horton. However, after Ultron was talked out of an act of mass murder by Vision, a post-credits scene revealed him holding a hard drive labeled “Jocasta”.

Ultron and Jocasta’s survival raises a few questions, the first and most obvious of which is when they might return to the MCU. As of now, few future MCU projects have been confirmed to be in the works. Two huge crossover events are on their way to the big screen in “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” which probably don’t have room for the continuation of Ultron’s story. Perhaps at some point beyond “Secret Wars,” a second season of “VisionQuest” or a related Disney+ series could bring Ultron and Jocasta back to screens?

As for where the synthetic duo’s story could go, in the comics, Jocasta was intended to be Ultron’s wife, but she ultimately betrayed him to become an Avenger. Perhaps a similar breakup awaits the MCU’s Ultron and Jocasta.

Vision was last seen fighting alongside the Avengers in 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” before being killed by Thanos so the Mad Titan could claim the Mind Stone. After this, the original Vision was rebuilt by SWORD as the White Vision, a weapon intended to kill Wanda Maximoff, as seen in “WandaVision”. In his fight with Wanda and her family, White Vision regained his memories of Wanda’s recreation of the original Vision. This set Vision on the journey of self-discovery seen in “VisionQuest”, leaving him isolated ever since.

The synthezoid found a new life after reuniting with its sons and realizing it had repressed its own emotions. Back in his true colors, Vision was last seen returning to the world at the end of “VisionQuest,” but could his new path lead him back to old allies?

With Vision seemingly ready to become a hero again, it seems there’s nothing stopping him from returning to the ranks of the Avengers. Of course, the roster has changed a bit since Vision was last on the team, with Sam Wilson’s Captain America leading the group who will debut in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.” With the new lineup apparently including Thor, who helped bring Vision to life in the first place, there’s surely room on Cap’s new team for the synthezoid to make a return.

Billy Maximoff made a triumphant return to the MCU in the finale of “VisionQuest” following his reintroduction when he was reborn in William Kaplan’s body in “Agatha All Along.” This series saw Billy team up with the witch Agatha Harkness in order to master the magical abilities he had inherited from his mother, Wanda. Although Agatha died sacrificing herself to save Billy from death, she returned as a ghost. “Agatha All Along” ended with the ghostly Agatha joining Billy on his quest to find her brother, Tommy.

When Tommy first managed to make psychic contact with Billy during the “VisionQuest” finale, Billy was seen briefly speaking to an unseen person about his difficulties conjuring portals, prompting Tommy to ask if everyone in the family had an imaginary friend like Vision’s AI assistants. In reality, Billy was almost certainly talking to Agatha, even if she remained invisible to Tommy.

At the end of the episode, Billy and Tommy were preparing to go to dinner with their father in Eastview, where Billy lives. Given Agatha’s villainous history as an enemy of Wanda and her family, Billy’s partnership with her likely won’t be an easy topic to discuss. And now that Billy has finally found his family, will Agatha still be there? Perhaps she has more to teach the young Wiccan about her powers or perhaps the reunion of Vision and the Maximoff twins will mark the end of Agatha Harkness’ role in the mortal realm.

“VisionQuest” continues a trend in recent Marvel releases of featuring characters who seem perfectly suited to an MCU incarnation of the Young Avengers. Not only did the series introduce the new Tommy Maximoff, destined to become the hero Speed, but Tommy’s girlfriend Lisa is the hero Coat of Arms in Marvel’s comic continuity. Lisa got her first taste of this identity on “VisionQuest” when she used the abilities granted to her by one of Jocasta’s nanobots to summon mechanical arms to her aid.

Besides Billy Maximoff (aka Wiccan), other potential Young Avengers recruits introduced in MCU projects in recent years include Eli Bradley in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” who has yet to adopt his comedic alter ego of Patriot; Kate Bishop in “Hawkeye”; Kamala Khan in “Ms. Marvel”; Cassie Lang’s alter ego Stature in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”; America Chavez in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”; and Riri Williams in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Ironheart.” A Young Avengers project was even teased at the end of “The Marvels” when Kamala Khan was seen recruiting Kate Bishop into her new team.

Despite the various hints that the Young Avengers could be coming to the MCU, so far there has been no official word on a film or TV series featuring the team. If Marvel wants to capitalize on its youngest heroes, they’ll need to act quickly before the actors lose their spots.

Perhaps the only question fans of “WandaVision” and its sequels are asking…
