Faran Tahir Will Return as Raza from ‘Iron Man’ in the Disney+ ‘Vision Quest’ Series

Actor Faran Tahir is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming Disney+ series ‘Vision Quest,’ a spinoff from WandaVision. Tahir will reprise his role as Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings terrorist organization, a character he first played in 2008’s Iron Man. This marks Tahir’s first MCU appearance in nearly two decades, making his return a noteworthy moment for fans of the franchise.

Raza’s story was last seen in Iron Man, where he orchestrated Tony Stark’s kidnapping to force the creation of a Jericho missile. Although the character appeared to meet his end in the film, the MCU has shown time and again that death isn’t always permanent.

The series will follow Vision, played by Paul Bettany, as he attempts to regain his memories and redefine his purpose after the events of Avengers: Infinity War and WandaVision.

In addition to Bettany and Tahir, James Spader is returning as Ultron, the villain from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Todd Stashwick, known for his work in Star Trek: Picard, has also been cast in a mystery role.

Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard, 12 Monkeys) will serve as showrunner for the series. Plot details remain largely under wraps, but the story is expected to draw inspiration from the West Coast Avengers comics, which explore Vision’s journey of self-discovery after being dismantled and reassembled without his emotional core.

Faran Tahir, a seasoned actor, has built an impressive career in both film and television. Beyond Iron Man, he is known for his roles in Star Trek (2009), Elysium, and Escape Plan. On television, his credits include The Old Man, 12 Monkeys, Once Upon a Time, and Scandal. He has also appeared on Broadway in The Kite Runner and starred in a variety of multilingual films, showcasing his range and versatility.

Vision Quest is set to begin filming in 2025, with a premiere expected in 2026. Fans are already speculating about what surprises the series might bring, especially with the return of key characters like Raza and Ultron.
