Vision knows Wanda is dead during VisionQuest by watching all Marvel movies
When the latest Marvel narratives unfold, the lines between reality and cinematic history often blur, creating fascinating new dynamics. In the world of Vision and Wanda, a subtle but profound piece of the puzzle has recently been revealed, adding a layer of unexpected depth to the MCU lore.
Showrunner Terry Matalas has offered a glimpse into the fate of Vision for the upcoming VisionQuest, revealing that Vision will return as White Vision, a new Synthezoid imbued with Vision’s memories. But the real kicker wasn’t just the costume change; it was the implication of Vision’s awareness regarding Wanda’s story.
In a delightful twist, Vision knows exactly what happened to Wanda. As Matalas joked during an interview, Vision has watched all the relevant movies. Indeed, the trailer for the new series shows Vision sitting in a home theater, watching films like Age of Ultron, suggesting that the knowledge of Wanda’s absence is not just a dramatic device, but a lived experience for the android.
This revelation leads to some speculation regarding Wanda’s fate in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While the exact nature of the Scarlet Witch’s disappearance remains a mystery, the in-universe assumption is that everyone, including Vision, operates under the premise that she is gone.
Matalas further expanded on the cosmic motivation behind the return of Ultron. He explained that the catalyst for the evil AI’s reappearance stemmed from a desperate need for a powerful foundation. “My first thought was, ‘Well, we don’t have Wanda, and we need someone really strong for Vision to play off of,’” Matalas shared. This quickly led to the realization that the return of the villain was linked directly to the existence of Vision.
The timeline also connects to the surprising return of James Spader’s Ultron. The AI has apparently been living a remarkably simple life since his defeat in Age of Ultron, enjoying access to history, television, and the ability to paint. This suggests an astonishing, if twisted, evolution for the rogue AI.
The relationship between the returning Ultron and Vision is painted as complex, hinting at a deeply intertwined dynamic—a sort of father-son-therapist-psychopath bond. Vision reportedly turns to Ultron for advice while both are confined in a fantastic prison loft, having been imprisoned for perhaps fourteen years.
As anticipation builds for VisionQuest, fans are left wondering how this complex web of memories and returned villains will shape the future of the MCU.
