Will Marvel ever truly move on? Tony Stark's sacrificial death in Avengers: Endgame remains an emotional high point for the franchise. And given the enigmatic statements from the Russo brothers, it's clear this event will hold significance in Avengers: Doomsday, especially with Robert Downey Jr. reportedly portraying a different character: Dr. Doom.

However, before that, the MCU has yet another series lined up for Disney+. VisionQuest promises an in-depth exploration of the super-hero's unique psyche. Part-robot, part-AI, and born from the Mind Stone, Vision is seemingly haunted by Ultron, the creator of his body, and Jarvis, Tony Stark's AI that formed the basis of his identity. According to showrunner Terry Matalas, the tragedy surrounding Iron Man's demise will be addressed in an unprecedented manner.

Could VisionQuest take the form of a therapy session for AIs? Potentially, if Terry Matalas's comments are anything to go by. He states that the series will raise "all these really interesting questions that we can bring to light here by bringing them all together." The concept involves allowing the performers behind the various computer voices in the MCU to take human form, and this is expected to include FRIDAY (voiced by Orla Brady), the AI Tony Stark integrated into his suits after Jarvis became Vision's consciousness.

But how does an AI process the grief of its creator? This profound question will apparently be a central theme:

Closing up shop

"FRIDAY was there when Tony Stark died. What does it feel like for an AI not to be able to protect the one it's programmed to protect?"

This shift in perspective is genuinely intriguing, especially considering FRIDAY was the one who informed Pepper Potts that Tony Stark's "vital functions" were "critical" moments before his passing. While VisionQuest is technically a sequel to WandaVision, it already hints at being an introspective finale to an arc that promises to revisit previously unembodied viewpoints within the franchise.
