Iron Man Villain Returns in MCU's Vision Quest

Marvel is bringing back a villain from the very first MCU film, Iron Man, for the upcoming Disney+ series, Vision Quest. Deadline reports that Faran Tahir will reprise his role as Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar, the leader of the Afghan terrorist group that held Tony Stark captive in the film's opening sequence. This marks a return for the character nearly two decades after his initial appearance. Similar to Samuel Sterns' reappearance in Captain America: Brave New World, this unexpected comeback adds another layer to the MCU's ever-expanding narrative. While Vision Quest, starring Paul Bettany as White Vision, doesn't yet have a release date, Tahir's involvement promises an intriguing addition to the storyline.

However, Vision Quest might also be revisiting less explored corners of the MCU, much like Deadpool & Wolverine tackled the more unconventional aspects of the former Fox Marvel universe. The series is also rumored to feature the return of James Spader as Ultron, marking his first appearance since Avengers: Age of Ultron. Details surrounding the plot remain scarce, leaving fans eager for more information.
