Marvel was not playing around as it came to D23, with the studio unveiling the cast of its upcoming X-Men movie, plus a new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday.
Alongside those reveals, a trailer was also released for upcoming Disney+ show VisionQuest, which will be released in October and is said to conclude a trilogy of series also including WandaVision and Agatha All Along.
The trailer appears to show Vision trapped in his own mind, experiencing a virtual reality filled with other androids in human form. This includes James D'Arcy taking on Bettany's previous role of JARVIS, after D'Arcy also played the inspiration for that AI, Edwin Jarvis, in both Agent Carter and Avengers: Endgame.
While in this simulated reality, Vision also comes into contact with Ultron, played in both his robotic form and a new human form by James Spader. It seems to be a family affair, as Ultron, nominally Vision's father, makes Vision aware that his son Tommy from Wanda's hex world in WandaVision is now real.
Ultron urges Vision to "free us all and save your son," giving us a sense of what we can expect from the central character's journey this time around.
You can watch the mind-bending trailer right here now.

Bettany and Spader joined Marvel head Kevin Feige on stage at D23 to present the trailer, with Bettany telling the crowd: "This Vision is beginning to ask a more complicated question: What, or perhaps who, is he? And what is it that makes us actually human?
"Which brings us to the person you most want beside you during an existential crisis: Ultron. Yes, Ultron is back, and we're going to figure out humanity together. So obviously, that should go extremely well."
Along with Bettany, Spader and D'Arcy, VisionQuest will also star Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick, T’Nia Miller, Lauren Morais, Orla Brady, Diane Morgan, Polly Frame, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Emily Hampshire.

Earlier this year, Bettany teased that the cuts he had seen of the show thus far "just are getting better and better,", and teased that the series is "funny, it’s moving and it’s super exciting".
He continued: "[Showrunner Terry Matalas] did a grand job. It manages to feel very much like it’s somehow a part of that world, an end to a trilogy of sorts, whilst also being very much its own thing, and it is just really good. I’m really proud of it."
Marvel's VisionQuest is coming to Disney+ on 14 October. Sign-up to Disney+ from £4.99 a month.
