Meet Jo, and don’t get on her bad side
Marvel Studios’ VisionQuest is currently streaming on Disney+. The series follows Paul Bettany’s lovable synthezoid Vision as he tries to untangle his very essence from a pile of circuits. In this week’s outing, he faced a grave challenge in the form of Jocasta, a fellow AI being. Jo is played by T’Nia Miller and proved to be quite formidable when the Avenger squared off against Vision. With VisionQuest at about halfway through it’s run, the actress says that there is more to her synth than first appears. That’s probably bad news for Bettany’s hero!

VisionQuest has delighted tons of Marvel fans out there. That Hollywood Show got to ask Miller about her new foil for Vision. We debated the nature of consciousness, poured one out for her unlucky adversary in Episode 4 and looked towards the future on Disney+.
Miller shared some surprising details about how the climactic showdown in the ballroom was shot. You never can get away from James Spader’s Ultron, no matter how hard you try. The delightful Avengers villain came up a few times during our conversation. Check out what Miller had to say about joining the MCU and more right here down below!
Is Jocasta a villain or just misunderstood?
One of the common ideas about villains in this universe and beyond is the question of perspective. Namely, is a villain just bad to the bone, completely evil. Or, are they holding up a mirror to something the heroes don’t want to see. Maybe they’re blind to the danger they’ve wroght themselves? At any rate, Miller seems to think that Jocasta’s backstory will end up getting some fans on her side. Exciting to find out!
“She’s a villain, but she’s she’s complex. She has soul and She has a heart. But she also has laser eyes,” the actress joked. “We’ll take you out unapologetic. So, I think you just wanna be on her good side, right? I know I would. Ask Mary. Speak to Mary Stone about it, you know? Katharina Wells.”
“No, I think she’s you have some villains which are just bad and evil and it’s easy to hate,” Miller smiled. “I don’t think it’s going to be easy to hate Jocasta. I think audiences will hear her and maybe even root for her a little bit?”
More About “VisionQuest”
“Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including Friday, Edith, Jarvis, and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepherd, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate.”
