5 Burning VisionQuest Questions Marvel Fans Have After The Finale

"VisionQuest" saw the return of Paul Bettany as the Vision to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time since the character flew off into the horizon at the end of "WandaVision," finally revealing what happened to the White Vision while leaving fans with many more questions.

The latest MCU series to arrive on Disney+ found Vision struggling with his restored memories and still lacking the feeling that once accompanied those memories. In his efforts to rediscover the man he once was, Vision sought guidance from other AI characters from throughout Marvel's past, including James Spader's sinister Ultron. His new life spent in hiding from SWORD and sinister bounty hunters also brought Vision face to face with the reincarnated Tommy and Billy Maximoff, Vision's magically created twin sons from "WandaVision." Over the course of the series, Vision came to terms with his own identity, went some way to healing his relationship with Ultron and began a new life with his sons.

The series also introduced Jocasta, a synthezoid modeled on the neuroscientist and AI pioneer Dr. Josephine Carrington. Set upon completing her life's work and using nanobots to cure — or control — humanity, Jocasta embarked on an unlikely romance with Ultron until she was seemingly destroyed. The season finale showed this loss apparently setting Ultron's existence on a new trajectory. "VisionQuest" has thus evolved the stories of several major MCU characters in some significant ways. With many threads still left hanging, though, fans have been left to wonder what might happen next.

Maybe the MCU's most unlikely enemies-to-lovers story ever, Ultron and Jocasta met on uneasy terms halfway through "VisionQuest." But before long, Jocasta was inviting the Avengers' old enemy into her databanks for drinks and a shocking metal kiss. Ultron's true intentions with Jocasta were constantly being called into question, but the feelings that emerged between the two tyrannical AIs ultimately proved true; resulting in Ultron's synthetic heart breaking when Jocasta was killed by her creator, Virgil Horton. However, after Ultron had been talked out of an act of mass murder by Vision, a post-credits scene revealed him holding onto a hard drive labelled "Jocasta."

The survival of both Ultron and Jocasta raises a few questions, the first and most obvious of which is when they might next return to the MCU. At present, precious few future MCU projects have been confirmed to be in the works. Two huge crossover events are on their way to the big screen in "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars," which probably don't have room for the continuation of Ultron's story. Perhaps at some point beyond "Secret Wars" a second season of "VisionQuest" or a related Disney+ series could bring Ultron and Jocasta back to screens?

As for where the synthetic duo's story could be heading, in the comics Jocasta was designed to be Ultron's bride but she ultimately betrayed him to become an Avenger. Perhaps a similar rift lies in store for the MCU's Ultron and Jocasta.

Vision was last seen fighting alongside the Avengers in 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War" before he was killed by Thanos so that the Mad Titan could claim the Mind Stone. After that, the original Vision was rebuilt by SWORD as White Vision, a weapon intended to kill Wanda Maximoff, as seen on "WandaVision." In his fight with Wanda and her family, White Vision regained his memories from Wanda's recreation of the original Vision. This set Vision on the journey of self-discovery seen in "VisionQuest," leaving him in isolation ever since.

The synthezoid found a new lease on life after being reunited with his sons and realizing he had been suppressing his own emotions. Back in his true colors, Vision was last seen heading back out into the world at the end of "VisionQuest," but could his new path lead him back to old allies?

With the Vision seemingly ready to be a hero once more, it seems like there's nothing keeping him from returning to the ranks of the Avengers. Of course, the roster has changed a bit since Vision was last on the team, with Sam Wilson's Captain America now heading up the group who will make their debut in the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday." With the new lineup seemingly including Thor, who helped bring Vision to life in the first place, there is surely room on the new Cap's team for the synthezoid to make his return.

Billy Maximoff made a triumphant return to the MCU in the "VisionQuest" finale following his reintroduction when reborn in the body of William Kaplan in "Agatha All Along." That series saw Billy teaming up with the witch Agatha Harkness in order to master the magical abilities he had inherited from his mother, Wanda. Though Agatha died while sacrificing herself to save Billy from Death, she returned as a ghost. "Agatha All Along" ended with the ghostly Agatha joining Billy in his quest to find his brother, Tommy.

When Tommy first managed to make psychic contact with Billy on the "VisionQuest" finale, Billy was seen briefly talking to an unseen person about his struggles to conjure up portals, prompting Tommy to ask if everyone in the family had an imaginary friend like Vision's AI assistants. In reality, Billy was almost certainly talking to Agatha, though she remained invisible to Tommy.

By the end of the episode, Billy and Tommy were preparing to head to dinner with their father in Eastview, where Billy lives. Given Agatha's villainous history as an enemy of Wanda and her family, Billy's partnership with her probably won't be an easy topic to broach. And now that Billy has finally been reunited with his family, will Agatha still be hanging around? Perhaps she has more to teach the young Wiccan about his powers or perhaps the reunion of Vision and the Maximoff twins will mark an end to Agatha Harkness' role in the mortal realm.

"VisionQuest" continues a trend in recent Marvel releases of introducing characters who seem a perfect fit for an MCU incarnation of the Young Avengers. Not only did the series introduce the reborn Tommy Maximoff, destined to become the hero Speed, but Tommy's girlfriend, Lisa, is the hero Coat of Arms in Marvel's comic continuity. Lisa got her first taste of this identity on "VisionQuest" when she used abilities granted to her by one of Jocasta's nanobots to summon mechanical arms to her aid.

As well as Billy Maximoff (aka Wiccan), other potential Young Avengers recruits introduced in MCU projects in recent years include Eli Bradley in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," who is yet to adopt his comic alter ego of Patriot; Kate Bishop in "Hawkeye;" Kamala Khan in "Ms. Marvel;" Cassie Lang's Stature alter ego in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania;" America Chavez in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness;" and Riri Williams in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" and "Ironheart." A Young Avengers project was even teased at the end of "The Marvels" when Kamala Khan was seen recruiting Kate Bishop to her new team.

Despite the various hints that the Young Avengers could be coming to the MCU, so far there has been no official word on a movie or TV series featuring the team. If Marvel wants to capitalize on their youngest heroes, they will need to move quickly before actors age out of their place.

Perhaps the one question fans of "WandaVision" and its follow-ups are most desperate to have answered is whether Wanda Maximoff is still alive following her apparent death in "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness." That film ended with Wanda realizing how far she had fallen in her desperate search for her lost sons, leading her to sacrifice herself by bringing Mount Wundagore crashing down on top of her. Though the act seemingly killed Wanda, she is one of the MCU's most powerful magic users and major character deaths are rarely permanent in the MCU.

While "VisionQuest" saw Vision coming to terms with Wanda's death, the finale reignited theories she could still be alive. Toward the end of the episode, Tommy asked Vision whether he believed Wanda might still be alive. Vision responds by echoing his and Wanda's farewell on "WandaVision," telling Tommy, "We have said goodbye before, so I suppose it stands to reason we might say hello again." This last reference to Wanda seems to tease that the Scarlet Witch could still be alive, or at least might find her way back to life.

With universe-ending chaos on the way for the MCU in "Avengers: Doomsday" and characters like Steve Rogers, Loki, and Fox's X-Men returning; it feels as though anything could be possible in the MCU's immediate future. Following the emotional family reunion between Vision, Tommy, and Billy, Wanda's return feels like the last piece of the puzzle left to fall into place.
