# Marvel VisionQuest series rollout > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/marvel-visionquest-series-development > Updated: 2026-09-11T21:30:00.000Z. Sources: 104. Developments: 16. Marvel Studios has released the first trailer and images for the eight-episode Disney+ series *VisionQuest*, scheduled to premiere on October 14, 2026. As the conclusion to the narrative trilogy following *WandaVision* and *Agatha: All Along*, the series serves as the final MCU television project before *Avengers: Doomsday*. Showrunner Terry Matalas leads the production. The series follows the ‘White Vision’ iteration of the character, portrayed by Paul Bettany, who begins as a repurposed weapon lacking emotional memories. While living in hiding and attempting to seek agency, Vision is pursued by a bounty hunter named Paladin. The plot explores themes of identity and intergenerational digital trauma. A central narrative element involves the psychological connection between Vision and various artificial intelligences. This includes the return of James Spader as Ultron, who resides within Vision’s mindspace. Bettany has described Ultron as a presence akin to a ‘psychopath locked away upstairs in the attic’ within Vision’s consciousness, establishing a complex connection between Ultron, Vision, and Tommy Maximoff (played by Ruaridh Mollica). Recent teasers highlight that Ultron has undergone significant changes since *Avengers: Age of Ultron*. Vision utilizes a ‘mind palace’ to consult various AI personas, including Ultron. The show will also examine the emotional aftermath of Tony Stark’s death through the perspective of AI. Specifically, it will explore how the AI F.R.I.D.A.Y.—to be voiced by Orla Brady—experienced the passing of her creator. The series is expected to feature physical avatars for other Stark-created AIs, such as J.A.R.V.I.S. and E.D.I.T.H. The cast includes Ruaridh Mollica, T’Nia Miller, Lauren Moraise, and Faran Tahir. ## Claims - Vision uploaded Ultron into his mind after destroying the villain's physical body.
