- Quick Answer: Reports suggest VisionQuest will launch a comic-inspired Children's Crusade storyline centering on Wiccan, rather than directly tying into upcoming Multiverse Saga films.
A new report suggests VisionQuest will serve as the start of Avengers: The Children's Crusade storyline in the MCU.
Fans have been looking forward to the upcoming MCU series, which will focus on the Vision's journey after the events of WandaVision. Some are wondering how it will tie into future MCU events, especially with the upcoming Avengers movies that will close the Multiverse saga.
However, as it turns out, the series might be the beginning of a new storyline.
Is VisionQuest Leading to Avengers: The Children's Crusade Storyline?
According to Feature First, VisionQuest will lead to a new storyline that will adapt Avengers: The Children's Crusade from the comics, instead of a larger tie-in to the MCU.
In case you're not familiar, The Children's Crusade focuses on Billy Kaplan (aka Wiccan), who loses control of his reality-altering powers. Fearing he will turn out like his mother, the Scarlet Witch, he sets out to find her to see if she is truly his mother.
As Wiccan's growing powers and search trigger a massive conflict, the Avengers try to put him in protective custody, but the Young Avengers break him out. The Avengers and X-Men are also searching for the Scarlet Witch while Doctor Doom becomes involved as he tries to harness her reality-warping abilities.
The report also revealed that a previous MCU character will make an appearance at the end of the series to serve as connective tissue to the upcoming storyline.
In addition, they also shared that the original Human Torch, Jim Hammond, will show up in an episode, while his creator will play a larger role in the show's main story.
If this scoop ends up being true, it suggests VisionQuest will be a set-up for a future MCU storyline that could have consequences for some character dynamics, although it doesn't seem to be hugely connected to the events of the upcoming Avengers movies.
What Is VisionQuest About?
VisionQuest follows Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, who has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron.
His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision's son reincarnated. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron's influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he's to survive.
The cast includes Paul Bettany, James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T'Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Emily Hampshire, and James D'Arcy.
The series will premiere on October 14 on Disney+. There are eight episodes in total.
