Scarlet Witch Family and Ultron Future Addressed by VisionQuest Creator Terry Matalas in MCU

Vision’s Future Remains Open

Vision reaches a point of peace with himself by the end of VisionQuest. Asked what lies ahead for Paul Bettany’s character, Matalas said he, Bettany and James have ideas about where the family’s story could go, but Marvel will decide what happens.

The finale, “Forever,” concluded the series and completed the WandaVision trilogy. Vision’s journey followed his death in Avengers: Infinity War and the later events of WandaVision.

A Shared Family History

Matalas said the story began with questions about Vision’s appearance and origins. He connected the character’s creation to Phineas Horton and Jim Hammond, and considered whether Vision’s source code could reach back to the 1920s.

The series also linked Ultron to Virgil Horton. Matalas described a family history in which Ultron’s chosen avatar carries code connected to Horton, shaping what he called a story about generational trauma.

James Spader and Bettany were on board with playing multiple characters. Matalas said the roles gave both actors a chance to portray distinct characters within the same scene.

Billy’s Reunion Comes Last

Joe Locke returned as Billy in the finale, reuniting the Maximoff brothers and Vision. Matalas said the team considered bringing Billy in earlier, but each discussion changed the story’s focus on Vision and Tommy.

He said Billy’s arrival had to come at the right moment. Bringing him in sooner would have changed the arc, so the reunion was held until the final episode.
