Marvel Brings Back Baddie From 2008's Iron Man for MCU Vision Quest Series

Feb 20,2025 Author: Brooklyn

Marvel's upcoming Vision Quest series is reportedly resurrecting a villain from the very first MCU film, Iron Man.

Deadline reports that Faran Tahir will reprise his role as Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar, the Afghan terrorist leader who held Tony Stark captive in the opening scenes of the 2008 film. Al-Wazar's betrayal by Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) marked his last appearance until now, nearly two decades later. This echoes the surprise return of Samuel Sterns (The Incredible Hulk) in Captain America: Brave New World. The Vision Quest series, starring Paul Bettany as White Vision following the events of WandaVision, currently lacks a release date.

While initially portrayed as the head of a generic terrorist group, al-Wazar's backstory was significantly enriched in Phase 4. His group was later revealed to be affiliated with the Ten Rings, a connection subtly hinted at earlier but fully explored in 2021's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. This retroactive inclusion of al-Wazar as a Ten Rings commander opens possibilities for a connection between Vision Quest and Shang-Chi's unresolved storylines.

However, Vision Quest might also be revisiting other overlooked MCU elements, similar to Deadpool & Wolverine's exploration of the discarded Fox Marvel universe.

The series will also reportedly feature the return of James Spader as Ultron, his first MCU appearance since Avengers: Age of Ultron. Further details about the show remain scarce.
