Terry Matalas Reveals New ‘Vision Quest’ Details

At Saturday’s STLV convention, former Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas revealed some Marvel-approved details about his upcoming series, Vision Quest.

The sci-fi series reunites him with actors Todd Stashwick and Orla Brady, who respectively played Captain Shaw and Laris/Tallinn in Picard. According to Matalas, Brady will be playing F.R.I.D.A.Y.—Tony Stark’s AI assistant previously voiced in the films by Kerry Condon—and Stashwick is Paladin, a mercenary in Marvel Comics. When Stashwick was announced for the show, he was described as an assassin tracking down Paul Bettany’s White Vision, who gained sentience at the end of WandaVision.

As for a returning Ultron, last seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron and played by James Spader, Matalas teased the character would be used in a “unique” way. The series’ cast also includes Ruaridh Mollica, T’Nia Miller, Faran Tahir, and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H., the Stark-made AI in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Matalas further revealed Vision Quest was full of Star Trek fans, which let them speak in Trek shorthand during production. He compared Vision’s journey in the show to Spock’s in Star Trek IV, implying the new android will have trouble connecting to his old memories now that he’s been reawakened. The panel didn’t feature a trailer or photos, but count us intrigued for Vision Quest, which is expected to hit Disney+ sometime in 2026.
