VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas says the show will see Vision go through an identity crisis. Matalas and star Paul Bettany recently spoke to Empire and lifted the lid, a little on what to expect from the new Marvel series coming October 14th.
“This is the first time where we get to watch Vision drive the narrative, and understand who he is, who he thinks he was,” Matalas tells Empire. “We watch this character go through an identity crisis. It’s kind of the Vision movie, if you will.”
Part of that exploration involves Vision reverting into an internal virtual reality, where Ultron, EDITH, DUM-E and U are given human-avatar form. “They’re there to help him,” Bettany explains. “He is attempting to move about in the world in a small way, and then at night download this data and discuss the things that have happened to him with these different AIs, who have different characteristics and help him understand different qualities and skills. But he is also very much using it as an excuse to keep the world and himself at arm’s length. And of course, events conspire to drag him actually into the world.”

“I think ultimately, what Vision is going through are things that we all go through, and deal with,” Matalas says. “Trauma, dealing with relationships, dealing with how we react to experiencing love or not experiencing that. It’s strange that a show about an AI is the most human of them all.”
You can find some more comments from Bettany and co-star James Spader in the related section above. Suffice to say I’m very excited to see this one and I have a good feeling about it. That means nothing at this stage, but I’ll et you know what I though episodically once it drops.
Let us know what you think of VisionQuest so far and Vision having an identity crisis? Thoughts below.
