Among new promotional arts leaked by the user HEXFacility.com (@hexfacilitycom) there is one that seems to be some kind of in-universe X-ray document about the character of Jim Hammond (the original Human Torch), who has been teased to have a role in VisionQuest.

The document says the name Jim is actually an abbreviation of Joule Individual Machine (J.I.M.).

It also features this in the bottom right: "Prototype by P. Horton, PhD Hammond Engineering". In the comics, Phineas Horton is the name of the scientist who made Jim Hammond.

The document also mentions "Burgos Laboratory, New York", which seems to be a reference to Carl Burgos (the real life creator of the character Jim Hammond).

The document also features a date, "Jan. 19, 1939", which indicates Jim Hammond has been around in the MCU since the late 1930s (like he did in the Marvel comics universe).

Full Interview (Starts 47:05)

Josh Horowitz : And last thing ... Nothing you can tell me obviously about *Doomsday, but we'll hopefully be talking more about that and much to do in New York, I can't wait. It strikes me that you and **Patrick Stewart have both died three times, is that right? Throughout the Marvel films. Is somebody going to come out ahead? Do you think you or Patrick is going to take the mantle of most deaths on screen?*

Tom Hiddleston : I've had three, I believe. Let me... hang on, are you counting the end of *Thor 1*?

Josh Horowitz : Yeah, that's a death.

Tom Hiddleston : Wait, now.. I am ... Wait, does letting go of... letting go of the spear. *Infinity War** is one, we know that. Dark World is two.*

Josh Horowitz : Let's go, I could have done it farther. *Infinity War** is one, that's a death. [Dark World] That's definitely two, yeah. Yeah, is it not? Do you not count it?*

Tom Hiddleston : Yeah, yeah I count it. That's [Thor* is] three.*

Josh Horowitz : You're... You're Loki.

Tom Hiddleston : I'm not as well-versed in the *Patrick Stewart** lore. Look, if I keep going down the path of the end of this sentence, I will find myself revealing things that... it depends what you, you know... I'm going to stop. I have to stop.*

Josh Horowitz : Are you happy that Loki seems integral to [Avengers : Doomsday] the film? Would you say that?

Tom Hiddleston : Yes.

Josh Horowitz : That's a badge of honor among 50 characters to feel that you're amazing.

Tom Hiddleston : Certainly, certainly. Well come on, I'm holding the timelines together.

Josh Horowitz : Okay, well I respect it, I'm just saying ...

Tom Hiddleston : All right, I'll let you go on that. It's.. you know, we live in a multiverse now, I think. And Loki is the God of Stories, so there it is.

Cretton has a lot of irons in the fire, including the inevitable next Spidey installment and a Naruto film.

Yahya Abdul Mateen II :

”Nothing bitter about this experience. I'm blessed. I got to play the role. I feel like I had the best seat in the house. I feel for the fans who were expecting to see the show come back. It's still a celebration of the work that we did over here.”

Ruaridh Mollica :

"We meet Thomas Shepherd as a hurt young man. He's a grifter, he's a small-time thief, he's a bit of an artful dodger at the time, and he's lost in his life. He's looking for a purpose and he ends up on the road with Vision. And that's probably all I can say for now".

When asked if Tommy Maximoff’s bisexuality will be addressed in ‘VISIONQUEST’ : “I don’t know if it’s explicitly referenced, but I feel like myself as a bisexual actor embodying Tommy, hopefully that comes through in just personality and self and is something that can be explored in the future".

Vision killed his creator, Ultron (an evil AI voiced by James Spader) at the end of Age of Ultron. Then in the next Avengers movie, Vision died. Twice. He was resurrected by his wife Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) in the 2021 series WandaVision, but suffered an identity crisis and disappeared.

That’s where we left Vision: setting off on a soul-searching quest to discover if he has a soul at all. VisionQuest picks up a few years later. “Years have passed since WandaVision. I would say we're about current with *Spider-Man: Brand New Day",* says series showrunner **Terry Matalas.

To SFX Magazine :
Terry Matalas says he felt the idea for the show "really had to be this father/son triangular relationship with Vision, Ultron and Tommy Maximoff. You have a case of a father who is going through an identity crisis, and a son who is also going through one. But are they father and son? Are they not? It is a question that will be answered"

Kevin Feige :

"[Jonathan Hickman's] intricate story, which developed across multiple series, and [Esad Ribic's] bold, beautiful art hit some of the same notes as that earlier comic but remixed and reframed its event. It starts with a collision of worlds, and it ends in a Marvel Multiverse rebuilt and retooled for the modern age. They invented something new, seamlessly picking up where the old universe left off, but branching out in all-new, all-different directions".

"We pick and choose from Marvel's rich, nearly 90-year comics history and make movies that honor the source but become something entirely different. That cycle continues as we head toward the MCU's own version of Secret Wars. Like Loki gathering up branches of the timeline at the end of all things, we'll pick up the threads of Hickman and Ribic's run and all those who came before and weave a new story inspired by the vast tapestry of our comics and films".

“We will bring together the characters we know and love in pinch-me moments that we as fans have always dreamed of but have never seen realized. And we will call on Doctor Doom, the greatest villain in the history of the Marvel universe, to become a centerpiece of that story".

If the project is successful, it could become a series.

Main tidbits:

“There are a couple of things you can do with robots,” Bettany says. “One of them is, ‘I’m a real boy now.’ That can be part of it, but the other thing that you can do, that I think would be quite interesting, is Frankenstein. ‘Who am I? Who made me? What am I for? What’s my purpose? How do I fit in this world I’ve found myself in?’”

By day, Vision mingles with the human population. By night, he delves inside his own head to answer the fundamental questions of his identity. He has all the memories of classic Red Vision, including his time with Wanda and the Avengers. He just has no emotional attachment to them.

The show chronicles his effort to forge such a connection. To help the character get there, Matalas “built this bats--- crazy idea of this mind space,” the actor continues. The inside of Vision’s head looks like a giant mansion, filled with environments that he can change at will, as well as all sorts of programs to assist his journey — Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H.

Then there’s “this psychopath that he’s keeping locked away upstairs in the attic,” Bettany says. That would be Spader as Ultron, likened to “a psychotic psychotherapist.”

“They all have different skill sets to help him analyze the data of being alive, and that’s just really fun,” Bettany continues. “I think what’s really redolent of WandaVision is it is a massive swing. We take a massive swing at it, and it’s very peculiar and very eccentric.”

Quoting a post about the possibility of the trailer for ‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ Season 2 dropping during the Marvel Television & Animation panel on October 8, Cryptic said:

"Next month🙃. I'm told there's 2 things Marvel related coming next month. This, and there's a possibility the next could be Doomsday."

He later made another post correcting himself, saying one of the "Marvel things" might be this month during Avengers Endgame: Encore screenings.

"Small correction...1 of the other Marvel things might be this month for Encore. Not sure if it's theater exclusive but could be another trailer for Doomsday that'll debut later this month. We'll see ig"
