Paul Bettany Says the VISION QUEST Series Is "About Generational Trauma... Fathers and Sons"

The series WandaVision followed the two title characters as they fought to live in a world they created. They sought out normalcy in sitcom-like eras inside the bubble of Westview, New Jersey, shutting out the real world, and living a life that seemed normal.

That was the last time we saw Paul Bettany’s character Vision, and when the series wrapped, that version of the android who gave his life for others and loved Wanda and their kids, was gone.

The new series Vision Quest will dive back into Vision’s storyline and give us a new chapter in his story, but what will that entail? The show’s logline states that the series “follows The Vision trying to regain his memory and humanity,” but Bettany has given us another morsel to savor until we get a trailer.

While attending a panel for the series at Los Angeles Comic-Con, Bettany explained, "It’s about intergenerational trauma… fathers and sons and denial of pain and denial of your own truth and coming to terms with who and what you are."

While this almost certainly refers to the returning Ultron (James Spader), who is technically Vision's "father," intergenerational trauma would seem to suggest that Vision's own son will also be involved.

This would appear to confirm the fan-theory that actor Ruaridh Mollica's "Tucker" will ultimately turn out to be Tommy Maximoff, aka Speed. If accurate, we will most likely see Speed and Wiccan (Joe Locke) reunite and join the MCU's team of Young Avengers in the upcoming Champions project (if it ultimately comes together).

In addition to Bettany and Spader, the cast includes Emily Hampshire (Schitt's Creek) who recently joined the cast as a human version of E.D.I.T.H., Orla Brady (Picard) will play FRIDAY, and T’Nia Miller (The Haunting of Bly Manor) will debut as Jocasta.

Vision Quest will hit Disney+ in 2026.
