VisionQuest is coming to a close, putting a bow on an unofficial trilogy that started with WandaVision and Agatha All Along. And while plenty of twists and revelations came to the forefront in the penultimate episode of the season, there is plenty left to sort out in the android-focused show. On top of that, Episode 8 marks the final piece of content in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before Avengers: Doomsday comes out in December.
If you are eager to see how VisionQuest wraps up, here is everything you need to know before the finale drops:
When does VisionQuest Episode 8 come out?
Episode 8 of VisionQuest will premiere on Disney+ at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 10. Episode 8, which is titled “Forever,” is reportedly about 1 hour, 8 minutes long.
Marvel has utilized multiple release strategies when it comes to Disney+ shows in recent years. Wonder Man was a binge drop back in January, while both seasons of Daredevil: Born Again have released episodes weekly. VisionQuest released two episodes in each of its first three weeks on the air, but gave Episodes 7 and 8 their own weeks to breathe.
(Warning: Spoilers for VisionQuest Episode 7, WandaVision and Agatha All Along ahead.)
Who will show up this week?
The cast of VisionQuest did not grow much in Episode 7, after all, with many of the reveals recycling actors from other parts. Another cameo turned out to be a one-off, while other characters’ fates remain up in the air. Here is a look at who could pop up in VisionQuest Episode 8:
- Paul Bettany as Vision / J.I.M. / Phineas T. Horton
- James Spader as Ultron / The Client
- Ruaridh Mollica as Tommy Maximoff / Thomas Shepherd a.k.a. Speed
- T’Nia Miller as Jocasta
- Lauren Morais as Lisa Molinari a.k.a. Coat of Arms
- Todd Stashwick as Paladin
- Diane Morgan as The Handler
- Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y.
- Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H.
- Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E
- Jonathan Sayer as U
With so many mentions of Billy Maximoff in Episode 7, there is a chance that Joe Locke returns to reprise his role from Agatha All Along in a cameo or post-credit scene. And given Billy’s relationship with Agatha Harkness herself, maybe Kathryn Hahn could return, as well.
What to expect in VisionQuest Episode 8
Vision has finally accepted himself as the true Vision, thanks to his conversation with the constructs of Phineas T. Horton and J.I.M. – the MCU’s first Synthetic Man and the first Human Torch from the comics. In the process, he has recognized Tommy as his son, too. But in exchange for this self-discovery and the cure for Lisa’s nanobot virus, Vision had to turn himself over to the client that hired Paladin in the first place. The same client also captured Jocasta, who made a similar bargain in order to secure the final biometric key to unlock her army of invasive nanobots, plus some answers about her own past life.
We finally got our first look at the mysterious client, played by James Spader, at the very end of Episode 7. So now we know that, just as all the other AIs in the MCU take human forms based off of real people, Ultron is also based off of someone. That someone was Dr. Josephine Carrington’s partner in developing AI before their colleagues sold the technology to Tony Stark. Beyond that, though, we still don’t know much about who this mysterious man is and what his motivations are. He seems to be living in Horton’s old mansion, and we also saw Horton’s daughter steal his notebook in a flashback, so the man will likely have ties to the origins of AI.
Based on the trailer from before the show started airing, we are going to get an action-packed Vision vs. Ultron confrontation in their iconic robotic forms. Ultron already booted F.R.I.D.A.Y. from Jocosta’s mind, while his human inspiration had Paladin’s car blown up after dropping off Vision. It’s unlikely that either character is dead, so we will have to wait and see how they play into the story’s final stretch. We also don’t know if Ultron and the client are going to fully align, either – meaning there are a lot of moving parts and shifting alliances for the finale.
