T'Nia Miller and Mary McDonnell, previously seen together in Mike Flanagan's 2023 miniseries 'The Fall of the House of Usher,' are now co-starring in Marvel's 'VisionQuest.' In the new series, Miller plays Jocasta, a synthetic being seeking revenge against McDonnell's character, tech CEO Katerina Wells, for stealing vital research.
Their dynamic in 'VisionQuest' draws parallels to their roles in 'Usher,' where McDonnell portrayed a corporate executive and Miller a scientist, illustrating how unethical business dealings can lead to downfall. Both actresses expressed admiration for Mike Flanagan's writing, with McDonnell noting that 'VisionQuest' felt as authentic as any story she had participated in.
Miller, who previously worked with Flanagan on 'The Haunting of Bly Manor,' was excited to collaborate again, appreciating the depth and charm of her new character, Jocasta. McDonnell, initially hesitant about horror, was won over by Flanagan's script, emphasizing the story's genuine feel. The reunion of these talented actresses promises an intriguing narrative as 'VisionQuest' unfolds.
