VisionQuest Showrunner Explains Ultron's Ominous Final Scene
The finale of Marvel's VisionQuest on Disney+ left viewers with a cryptic post credits moment. It showed Ultron in human form, looking out a window in Virgil Horton's mansion and tapping a USB drive labeled 'Jocasta.' Per TVLine, this USB is likely a backup of the synthezoid Jocasta, whom Ultron loved before she was killed.
Showrunner Terry Matalas explained the scene's intent to Entertainment Weekly. He said it was a promise that Ultron's story is not over and that the character, having promised Vision he did not want to be alone, now has Jocasta's backup. Matalas noted Ultron looks directly at the camera, leaving his ultimate plan for the backup up to the audience's imagination.
Matalas also revealed to EW that there was more to the scene that was filmed but cut, teasing that it may be released one day. He clarified that the moment is not a direct setup for a new project, but simply indicates Ultron is 'not done.'
Despite fan appreciation for James Spader's performance, Ultron's future in the MCU remains uncertain. TVLine notes there is no film in development with Ultron as a main character, and Marvel's live action TV slate is currently limited.
