The MCU is taking another look at its past, bringing back one of the biggest villains of the Avengers franchise for an upcoming Disney+ series.

Ultron, the iconic villain from ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, will return for Vision Quest, the new series starring Vision, a character we lost track of after ‘WandaVision’, in its resurrected white form. The return of the original actor behind the deadly AI, James Spader, to Marvel Studios to give life to the sinister artificial antagonist once again was revealed recently. After ‘WandaVision’ and the upcoming ‘Agatha All Along’, the trilogy surrounding the duo of Scarlet Witch and Vision will come to an end with ‘Vision Quest’.
The return of Ultron after ‘What If...?’
Since his defeat in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ in 2015, fans have been speculating for years about the possible return of such an iconic villain to the MCU. And although we saw a multiversal and all-powerful variant in the ‘What If...?’ animated series, everything indicates that Ultron will return in live action as part of the cast of the next Vision spinoff, scheduled to release on Disney+ at some point in 2026.

Created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner to protect humanity, this artificial intelligence quickly concluded that the only way to ensure world peace was to eliminate humans. This is how Ultron came to be, a planetary threat that took humanoid form through an imposing artificial body and which was eventually destroyed by Vision (Paul Bettany), with a body synthesized by the AI itself that now housed a new being created from the JARVIS AI created much earlier by Stark.
We will see in what terms the return of Ultron occurs in the next Vision series, either as a new threat to humanity or as an unexpected ally. How will it come back to life? How will its presence influence future MCU events? Of course, screenwriter Terry Sharp (‘Star Trek Picard’), has a great challenge before him to shape ‘Vision Quest’, if the new Marvel Studios series ends up being called that.
