"Marvel Reintroduces 2008 Iron Man Villain in MCU's Vision Quest"

Author : Samuel May 18,2025

Exciting news for Marvel fans: Faran Tahir is set to reprise his role as Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar from the original *Iron Man* film in the upcoming *Vision Quest* series. This marks a significant return for the character, who hasn't been seen since the opening scenes of the 2008 blockbuster where he led the terrorist group that held Tony Stark captive.

Raza's comeback in *Vision Quest* mirrors the surprise return of Samuel Sterns from *The Incredible Hulk* in *Captain America: Brave New World*, highlighting Marvel's strategy to revisit and expand on earlier characters. *Vision Quest* will follow the journey of White Vision, played by Paul Bettany, post-*WandaVision*, though a release date hasn't been announced yet.

The group was identified as part of the Ten Rings, a significant element that was further developed in *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings* in 2021. This retroactively positions Raza as a commander within the Ten Rings organization, potentially linking *Vision Quest* to the broader narrative established in *Shang-Chi*.

Much like *Deadpool & Wolverine* delves into the quirky aspects of the Fox Marvel universe, *Vision Quest* could be exploring overlooked elements of the MCU. Adding to the anticipation, James Spader is also rumored to return as Ultron, last seen in *Avengers: Age of Ultron*, although details about the series remain scarce.
