Twelve frames. That’s all it takes for Tommy Maximoff to vanish into a blue blur in the newest VisionQuest trailer. It’s a tiny moment, but it says a lot about how Marvel is treating its speedsters.

What the Trailer Shows
The trailer gives us the first look at Jocasta, Ultron’s “bride,” and at Vision’s son Tommy. Ultron hints that Wanda’s Hex had a consequence, and the trailer then cuts to Tommy. When he asks Vision what he isn’t telling him, Vision replies that this is a fight he likely won’t win. That fight seems to be internal, as Ultron tries to take over his body.
Tommy can’t help there, but he can turn the tide against Jocasta. Before using his speed, he vibrates until he becomes a blur. With Vision nowhere in sight, he then rescues Mary McDonnell’s character from Jocasta.
How Does the Effect Compare?
The Direct’s breakdown is interesting:
| Speedster | Look of the speed |
|---|---|
| Tommy (VisionQuest) | Quick blue blur, no glowing trail |
| Pietro (Age of Ultron) | Glowing outlines of afterimages |
| Tommy (WandaVision) | Smeared afterimages with a bright glow |
| Peter (Fox X-Men) | Closest match, a brief blur |
| Makkari (Eternals) | Light streaks and sonic booms |
| The Flash (film and CW) | Constant lightning |
Despite lacking that glowing trail, Tommy seems even faster than his late uncle. The Direct hopes the show gives him time to shine and maybe shows new uses for his powers that Pietro never got to display. That last point is the outlet’s wish, not a confirmed plot detail.
A Date to Double-Check
The Direct’s article lists an October 17 premiere, but another Direct report says a two-episode premiere arrives October 14. Please confirm the date on Disney+ before publishing anything specific.
