In May of 2024, it was announced that Picard showrunner Terry Matalas would make the leap from one franchise to another, trading Starfleet chronology for Marvel continuity with the WandaVision spinoff VisionQuest. Since then, Matalas and his team have been quietly stacking the cast of VisionQuest—which obviously stars Paul Bettany as Wanda’s robot love. (They were being weird about the title for a minute—and at one point Jac Schaeffer was working on Vision Quest, two words—but now it seems pretty definite.)
Matalas has already cast two of his Picard stars in the show: Todd Stashwick as the mercenary Paladin and Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y. He’s also got Ruaridh Mollica (The Franchise) playing Thomas Shepherd, aka the grown-up version of Wanda and Vision’s son Tommy, and T’Nia Miller as the powerful robot Jocasta.
The latest additions are an interesting pair. Variety reports that Lauren Morais and Diane Morgan have signed on, and that “Morais is playing Lisa Molinari, a character closely connected to Mollica’s Thomas Shepherd, while Morgan is playing an associate of Stashwick’s character, Paladin.” Morais has appeared in the series The Red King and The Crow Girl, while Morgan is best known for her character Philomena Cunk, from Cunk on Life and Cunk on Earth, among other projects.
VisionQuest will bring back many a familiar character, including James Spader as Ultron—who is just one of the Tony Stark-created AIs appearing in the series. According to an Entertainment Weekly report from New York Comic Con, at some point in the series Vision “walks into a giant mansion, where he meets personifications of various programs, including Henry Lewis as DUM-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H. This appears to be playing out inside Vision’s mind, as his android brain attempts to navigate his memories.”
At NYCC, Bettany explained where his character is as the series begins: “Red Vision gave White Vision all of his memories, including all of his memories from within the hex,” referring to the spell Wanda cast on the town of Westview, New Jersey. Connecting to those memories proves somewhat difficult for the newest version of the character.
VisionQuest is expected to arrive on Disney+ late next year.[end-mark]
