Summarised from Edinburgh Live's report · Updated 13 Oct, 13:08 · Archive

Paul Bettany's Vision returns in the Marvel series VisionQuest, filmed in Edinburgh, with local actor Ruaridh Mollica playing Tommy Maximoff.

Paul Bettany's Vision returns in the eight-part Marvel series VisionQuest, filmed in Edinburgh. Vision is now a synthetic being with access to his feelings and memories but struggling to understand what it means to be human. Edinburgh Live reports that local actor Ruairdh Mollica plays Tommy Maximoff, and the first two episodes arrive on Disney on October 14, with two episodes released each week.

Showrunner Terry Matalas, known for Star Trek: Picard and 12 Monkeys, has described Vision as 'out in the world and looking very much like Paul Bettany', living amongst ordinary people but 'not quite getting it right'. The series will follow him as he attempts to uncover 'the mystery of the shared past' he has with Tommy. VisionQuest concludes a trilogy that began with 2021's WandaVision, in which Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff created a suburban fantasy to cope with Vision's death and imagined a life with their twin sons. The second instalment, 2024's Agatha All Along, revealed that Billy had survived but Tommy had gone missing, and now VisionQuest returns focus to their father's struggle with his new identity.
