VisionQuest episodes 3 and 4, ‘Reboot’ and ‘Malware,’ are now streaming on Disney+. In the US they arrived Tuesday, October 20 at 9 p.m. ET, per The Direct. Internationally they arrive the next day.
The Release Calendar at a Glance
Marvel changed the schedule two days before launch. In the US, new episodes now arrive on Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays, per Nerdist. Episodes 5 and 6 arrive October 27, episode 7 on November 3 and the finale on November 10. International dates fall one day later.
- Episodes 3 and 4: Tuesday, October 20 (US)
- Episodes 5 and 6: October 27
- Episode 7: November 3
- Finale: November 10
Disney+’s own page still lists Wednesday dates, so check your local schedule. The mismatch matters because the platform’s listing and the reporting from outlets such as Nerdist and The Direct do not agree, and viewers who rely on the Wednesday date could end up a day behind the US schedule. The late change, announced only two days before the premiere, is the likely reason the information has not been uniform across sources, though that explanation is an inference and is not stated in the reports cited here.
Jocasta Enters the Picture
Spoilers follow. Screen Rant says the episodes introduce Jocasta, played by T’Nia Miller, who is revealed as Dr. Josephine Carrington, one of the minds behind early AI.
Jocasta first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1977, which Screen Rant’s headline describes as a 49-year history before her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Bringing her into the story through a human scientist connected to early artificial intelligence gives the series a new character with a direct link to the show’s central subject, a synthetic being trying to understand what it is. Beyond the reveal of her name and background, the cited coverage does not say how large a role she will play across the remaining episodes.
Ultron, Tommy and Paladin
The episodes also explore the backstory of Paladin (Todd Stashwick) and show Tommy (Ruaridh Mollica) helping Vision in a life-threatening moment. Ultron, voiced by James Spader, interacts with Jocasta at the end of episode 4 while controlling Vision’s body. Paul Bettany stars as Vision.
Spader first voiced Ultron in the 2015 film Avengers: Age of Ultron, so his return places one of the Avengers’ most prominent artificial-intelligence antagonists back in the story. The scene at the end of episode 4, in which Ultron speaks with Jocasta while occupying Vision’s body, joins two threads at once: the series’ new character and the long-running idea of a mind inhabiting a body that is not its own. Tommy’s help in an emergency, meanwhile, shows the character taking an active part in the story, and the focus on Paladin’s past adds depth to a figure who was previously less defined.
A Character Defined by His Origins
Vision first appeared on screen in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the same 2015 film in which Ultron made his debut, and Bettany has played him ever since. That shared origin is part of what gives the end of episode 4 its weight. The antagonist who appears in Vision’s body and the hero who normally occupies it are connected by the events of that earlier film, so a conversation with a newly introduced figure like Jocasta arrives against a backdrop of long-established history between the two.
Where the Series Sits in the Marvel Timeline
The eight-episode series follows WandaVision and Agatha All Along. It is the final Marvel TV series of 2026, according to TechRadar.
WandaVision, released in 2021, introduced the version of Vision that Bettany plays here as part of a larger story about grief and magic, and Agatha All Along followed in 2024. Describing VisionQuest as following those two shows places it in a line of Marvel television projects that extend stories begun in earlier series. Since it is the last Marvel TV series of the year, its November 10 finale will also close out the studio’s television output for 2026.
What to Watch For in the Remaining Episodes
With four episodes left, several questions are open. The cited reporting does not explain what happens to Vision after Ultron takes control of his body, how Jocasta will respond to the exchange at the end of episode 4, or what role Paladin will play now that his history has been explored. Those answers will have to come from episodes 5 through 8, which are scheduled over the next three weeks according to the updated calendar. Viewers who want to avoid spoilers should note that the discussion above covers the events of episodes 3 and 4, and that the series is still in the middle of its run.
Because the weekly calendar has already shifted once, the safest approach is to confirm the date in your own region before each release. The next pair of episodes is due October 27 in the US, with international viewers receiving them one day later, and the schedule through the November 10 finale is otherwise set as reported by the outlets cited above.
