Wanda knew what it was like to be on the run; if it wasn’t one form of government, it was another.  In many ways, this was nothing new to The Scarlet Witch, but the game had admittedly gotten significantly more difficult.  The longer she lived, the more enemies she seemed to amass and so with each year, her very existence became more and more precarious.  Where at first she was simply running from the corrupt politicians controlling Sokovia, now she had the added attention of the US government and the Masters of the Mystics Arts.  Of course, the latter was under the assumption that she was dead, and she wanted to keep it that way.  If they found out she had survived the collapse at Mount Wundagore, they would certainly make her death a reality.  And, truthfully, Wanda couldn’t really blame them.  

She wasn’t entirely sure what this new part of her life would look like; she’d burned so many bridges and had very few places to go.  It would have been easy for her to give into despair, and many times she did.  More than once, the pain had overtaken her again and she’d just laid down in the middle of the street, weeping uncontrollably.  Luckily, for her, Barcelona was a massive city with more displaced people than anywhere else in Europe.  When people saw a random woman lying in the streets, especially in the back alleys, they paid little attention.  Someone might attempt to rob her, but they only got as far as putting their hands on her before some strange magic came over them and they shuddered in silent pain.  The smart ones let go, but the idiots held on and soon joined Wanda on the ground.  Unlike The Scarlet Witch, however, they never got up again.  

After months of just wandering across Spain and Portugal, living off the charity of others and only occasionally stealing, Wanda had finally collected enough money to secure a tiny flat in the darkest corner of Barcelona.  It was a quiet, anonymous existence that included a part-time job as a waitress (where she went by the name Isla), trying desperately to learn Spanish as quickly as possible, and dyeing her infamous red hair a mousy brown every two weeks or so.  Once in a while Wanda would stick her neck out in order to break up a few human trafficking rings or surreptitiously send the abusive husband of her manager into a shark tank at Aquàrium Barcelona where he promptly drowned.  

Wanda had worried that Abril would be sad over the loss of her husband, as many victims of abusive relationships and Stockholm syndrome occasionally are, but time and a hefty life insurance policy in Daniel’s name proved to be good medicine for an aching heart.  Seeing her friend walk around with a newfound lease on life was almost enough to make Wanda forget…about everything.  Perhaps it was best if she did just forget; it wouldn’t have been the first time she’d attempted to leave Wanda Maximoff behind in favor of someone else: someone more normal and less complicated.  

But even if she had genuinely wanted to let it all go, the Darkhold’s stain across her hands were a constant reminder of who she was and what she had done.  She wore flesh-colored gloves whenever she was out in public and told elaborate stories about how she’d been burned in a car accident.  The gloves made her job at the diner difficult at times, but Abril and the rest of the staff had always been so courteous and accommodating towards “Isla” and her fictitious injury.  They were all so kind, and none of them had no idea what kind of monster she was.  

The only souvenir of her past life, save the blackened fingers, was a single photo: a precious relic that she only took out in her darkest of hours.  She hadn’t the foggiest idea of how, after everything, it had stayed both in one piece and in her possession, but she was grateful nonetheless.  While living on the street, Wanda had treated it like a holy grail, the single flame that kept her going merely because it reminded her of a simpler time when she had been truly happy.  Between The Blip, the Hex, and the Darkhold, it was sometimes difficult to sort out what was real and what had been magic, but the photo grounded her in many ways.  That had been real.  

It was taken in Prague: one of the many locations Steve had moved her to during Team Captain America ’s time as fugitives.  But the location was hardly the important aspect of the photo.  Yes, Charles Bridge was clearly featured in the background, but the focus was the bright-eyed and beaming Wanda with an arm wrapped around the torso of a tall, blonde-haired man who, in turn, had his willowy arm draped across her shoulder.  She was smiling winningly at the camera, held by a random stranger the pair had flagged down, but Vision’s gaze was entirely on Wanda.  It was one of those small moments one sees in movies: Vision sneaking an adoring look at the woman he loved.  To Wanda, they had just been posing beside some pretty bridge, but the man beside her had no interest in architecture.  The most beautiful thing in the world was Wanda, and he was unable to look away.  

Today, she needed to see the picture.  The night before had been plagued with the same old terrible nightmares and specters, and Wanda’s mental health necessitated a trip down memory lane.  She pulled open the drawer on her nightstand and dug a bit until she found the worn manilla envelope that served as the photo’s home.  She sighed with relief as she took in the image and ran a finger adoringly over Vision’s face.  It wasn’t just the fact that the print featured him but also that Wanda could clearly see the unaltered happiness in herself.  It all seemed like several lifetimes ago.  

This lifetime, however, would not wait.  She glanced at the clock on the wall and knew she had to go; Isla had work and Wanda had to be put aside for now.

James Spader To Play Ultron Again In 'Vision'

James Spader is returning to the MCU to reprise the role of Ultron. Spader first played the role in 2015’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron and will return in Marvel’s upcoming Vision series for Disney+. The show will spin out of the events of WandaVision. Paul Bettany will once again play Vision, the android who fell in love with the Scarlett Witch and then was destroyed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity…

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

How I’d approach the Vision spin-off that’s in development (Vision Quest):

STORY

The story starts with Vision exploring his connection to Ultron. This leads to him meeting MCU Victor Mancha, who Vision learns is the “son” of Ultron. In reality, Victor was created by a robotics engineer named Marianella Mancha, who combined pieces of Ultron she stole from SWORD with her own DNA. It’s pretty much the same concept as the Terminator in that Victor’s human parts are real, he just happens to be half-robot. Marianella also rebuilt Ultron into another human/robot hybrid and claims that this new Ultron is nothing like the original.

So, “Vision Quest” is a road trip drama centered on Vision traveling with Marianella, Victor, and Ultron-2. They’re on the run from SWORD, who are aware that Marianella stole Ultron from them.

Although Ultron is in the series, the main villain is Andrew Forson, a SWORD scientist who was planning on reviving Ultron for sinister reasons. Before he could do so, Marianella stole Ultron.

FINALE: Vision manages to get Marianella, Victor, and Ultron-2 out of the country by staying behind in order to hold off SWORD. After making sure the Manchas are out of harm’s way, Vision gives himself up and is arrested. However, while being transferred to prison, the SWORD convoy is suddenly destroyed. Vision flies away, unsure of what just happened.

Post-credits scene: It’s revealed that Wanda Maximoff was the one who destroyed the SWORD convoy in order to free Vision. However, instead of reuniting with Vision, she retreated to an unknown location. It’s revealed later on that, because Wanda no longer has the corrupting influence of the Darkhold, she is in hiding due to the immense guilt over her actions in “Multiverse of Madness”. It’s to the point that she can’t even bring herself to be with Vision.

CHARACTERS

The 4 main characters: Vision, Victor Mancha, Marianella Mancha, and Ultron-2. Ultron-2 is played by Ross Marquand (Aaron from “The Walking Dead”) since Ross voiced Ultron in “What If”. I don’t have a fancast for Victor and Marianella.

Main villain: Andrew Forson, a SWORD scientist who was planning on reviving Ultron. I pictured James Spader in the role, which is intentional since Spader played Ultron in “Avengers - Age of Ultron”.

Other characters:

* Wanda Maximoff (only in the post-credits scene, and maybe some flashback scenes)

* Dr. Helen Cho (reappears as Marianella’s friend in the robotics field and a member of SWORD’s engineering division)

* Leo Fitz (Iain only appears in the last two episodes. Fitz’s appearance is teased early on by Marianella mentioning that she was mentored by a “former agent of SHIELD who specialized in engineering”. The Vision Squad then visit Fitz’s home in the UK in order to escape SWORD)

* Jemma Simmons (see above, it wouldn’t make sense to have the Vision Squad visit Fitz’s home and not have Jemma there)

MISCELLANEOUS

* Vision’s character arc is about him reclaiming his original identity now that his memories have been unlocked.

* Marianella and Ultron-2’s relationship is meant to be a direct parallel to Wanda and Vision. This also makes Victor Mancha a parallel to Billy and Tommy, which I imagine the show would explore through Vision and Victor’s interactions.

* In case it isn’t obvious, only Vision appears as a “robot” among the main characters. Victor and Ultron-2 are human/robot hybrids and Marianella is just human. But to save time on makeup and special effects, I’d imagine that Paul Bettany would also play “human” Vision as well.

* Just to clarify, Victor Mancha was made from the parts of Ultron that aren’t from the “brain”/CPU, which is why Victor identifies as his own person. Ultron-2 was made from a backup of the original Ultron, just like Quaritch in “Avatar - The Way of Water”. That’s why Ultron-2 identifies as a version of Ultron.

* Ultron-2 and Vision are supposed to parallel each other. Both feel that they are separate entities from their original counterparts since Vision only has the original’s memories and Ultron-2 is a backup. They both reach different conclusions at the end of the series since Vision embraces his original identity while Ultron-2 rejects his due to his positive experiences with Marianella and Victor.

James Spader Returns as Ultron: What We Know So Far

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has a knack for making you care about characters you never thought you’d see again. Remember when Vision got ripped apart in Avengers: Infinity War and you thought that was the end? Well, not quite. Thanks to the magic of Marvel (and a little Disney+ streaming power), Vision is back, and so is his “creator,” Ultron, voiced once again by the always enigmatic James Spader. The Return of Ultron: James Spader's Comeback When James Spader first brought Ultron to life in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the character was a hit. Who knew a homicidal robot could be so charmingly evil? Spader’s smooth delivery made Ultron one of the most memorable villains in the MCU, which is no small feat considering he shared screen time with a bunch of super-powered Avengers. Now, Spader is back, and he’s set to reprise his role in the upcoming Marvel series Vision Quest. But here’s the kicker: Vision, played by Paul Bettany, isn’t the same guy anymore. After the events of WandaVision, Vision’s back in ghostly white form, searching for a new purpose. Enter Ultron—again. You know, because what’s a Vision storyline without his twisted “father” figure lurking in the shadows? Terry Matalas Takes the Helm If you’re thinking this all sounds like a wild ride, you’re not wrong. The new series, unofficially dubbed Vision Quest, is being spearheaded by Terry Matalas. Yep, the same guy who revived Star Trek: Picard and made it worth watching again. Matalas has a reputation for breathing new life into old franchises, so it’s safe to say Vision (and Ultron) are in good hands. The show is rumored to be the third part of a trilogy that kicked off with WandaVision and continues with Agatha All Along, set to debut in September. While details are still under wraps, it's clear that Vision's quest won’t just be a walk in the park—or a float through the ether, depending on how you view an android’s existential crisis. What Can We Expect from Vision Quest? If Vision Quest follows the pattern set by WandaVision, we can expect a mix of mind-bending visuals, emotional depth, and a fair amount of chaos magic (and not just from Agatha). The addition of James Spader as Ultron only ups the ante. This isn’t just another superhero showdown; it’s a deeply personal story of creation, destruction, and what it means to be alive—or at least artificially alive. Fans are already speculating about how Ultron will make his grand return. Was he ever really destroyed, or is there a backup version of him floating around in some forgotten server? And how will Vision, who’s now grappling with his own identity crisis, react to seeing the twisted father figure who tried to end humanity? The Bigger Picture: What Does This Mean for the MCU? Let’s not forget that the MCU is known for its interconnected storytelling. With Vision Quest set to explore these deep themes, it could have ripple effects across the entire Marvel universe. Could this lead to more Vision-related spin-offs or even another big-screen appearance? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Marvel isn’t done with Vision, and they’re certainly not done with Ultron. Conclusion: Get Ready for the Next Chapter As we gear up for the release of Vision Quest, it’s safe to say Marvel fans are in for a treat. With Terry Matalas at the helm, James Spader returning as Ultron, and Paul Bettany’s Vision taking center stage, this series promises to be another game-changer for the MCU. So, whether you’re still reeling from WandaVision or you’re just here for the inevitable Ultron-Vision showdown, one thing is clear: this is a story you won’t want to miss. Read the full article
