Marvel Studios has premiered a new 30-second promo for “VisionQuest” ahead of its premiere on October 14th on the Disney+ service.
The clip reveals a first look at Marvel AI character Jocasta who, in the comics, was created to serve as Ultron’s bride – only to defy him and join the Avengers.
Here though, the character is expected to have a different backstory and possibly serve as the true villain of the series. “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “Years and Years” star T’Nia Miller plays her.
There’s also a look at Vision and Wanda’s son Tommy Shepard (Ruaridh Mollica) using his super-speed powers.
The series sees Vision, having rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponise him, in hiding.
Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and even Ultron.
His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son reincarnated.
As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron’s influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.
Paul Bettany, James Spader, Todd Stashwick, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, with Emily Hampshire and James D’Arcy also star. Terry Matalas serves as showrunner.
