Paul Bettany on Vision's and Ultron's relationship in VisionQuest

Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz, Bettany shared that VisionQuest was currently in the post-production stage. He said that showrunner Matalas had done a grand job and shared VisionQuest was funny, "moving," and super exciting.

The actor went on to praise his co-star James Spader, who had earlier voiced the character in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). Bettany said Spader was delicious and funny in VisionQuest and that they loved working with one another. However, the British star did not expand on the fact that viewers might see a human version of Ultron in the show. Instead, he said, "The story is largely revolved around that relationship, and it’s real fun."Bettany also added that VisionQuest is much like WandaVision and will end the trilogy while also being its own thing. He was very proud to be part of the show.

After being killed by Thanos in Avengers: Endgame (2018), Vision (Bettany) was resurrected in WandaVision. After the end of the show, White Vision emerges, having been rebuilt by S.W.O.R.D. In VisionQuest, Vision tries to regain his memory and humanity. Besides Ultron, other characters of note included Todd Stashwick as Paladin, a mercenary turned assassin who targets Vision’s technology, and Faran Tahir, who reprises his role as Raza, the Ten Rings leader.
