The upcoming Disney+ ‘Vision Quest‘ is set to expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe by exploring elements from the popular West Coast Avengers comics. According to recent reports, the show will feature the fan-favorite superhero team who operated out of California. This gives an exciting new direction to Paul Bettany’s character Vision after the events of ‘WandaVision‘.
Further details about how the series will incorporate the West Coast Avengers have been scarce but James Spader will return to voice the powerful robot Ultron in a significant role. Ultron had previously been the main villain that the Avengers battled in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron‘. His involvement now indicates the West Coast branch of heroes might have to deal with a new threat from the devious artificial intelligence.
The West Coast Avengers Are Coming In ‘Vision Quest’
With the introduction of the West Coast Avengers comes the potential of presenting new young superpowered characters to viewers. Recent casting reports mention Marvel is considering actor Javon Walton for a teenage role as Vision’s son or even Speed.
Another possibility for Walton’s role is Billy Kaplan, better known as Wiccan. He is the son of Scarlet Witch and Vision in the comics and has similar magical powers to his mother. Adding these new younger heroes would help expand the franchise beyond just focusing on the original Avengers. It opens up chances of exploring their comic storylines and a possible Young Avengers project in the future.

James Spader Returns As Ultron
According to scoopers, Ultron will play a far more significant role than a mere cameo in the Disney+ series. His artificial intellect was last seen being destroyed by the Avengers but he tends to keep resurfacing through backups or new bodies. It can be speculated he will have developed a new sinister scheme and will likely clash against the West Coast branch of heroes led by Vision.
Knowing Ultron’s quest for destruction and his battles with the Avengers, he will certainly bring plenty of trouble for Vision and his allies. Fans are excited to see James Spader back in the role, utilizing his menacing vocal delivery.
How exactly Ultron figures into the plot remains a mystery for now but it guarantees lots of action and challenges for the heroes. His inclusion also provides the series with a strong antagonist to drive the narrative.
The Disney+ White Vision series is mapping out an exciting new chapter for the MCU by connecting to the fan-favorite West Coast Avengers. Introducing Ultron and potential young superheroes adds new layers to the story while expanding the universe in promising new directions. Fans can expect more details to surface as the show gears towards production.
