Amongst these fascinating particulars proven at D23 was paintings for VisionQuest that seemed very very like it was hinting that Jim Hammond, or the Human Torch, can be taking part in some type of function within the present. On the time, that appeared slightly unlikely, because it wasn’t clear how the Human Torch would match into this story that appears comparatively self-contained (though, notably, this model of the character is a synthezoid, providing no less than a thematic connection).
Nonetheless, new reviews have additionally instructed that Jim Hammond will probably be showing in VisionQuest, fueling fan hypothesis about this risk. For now, this stays an unconfirmed rumor solely, and it’s nonetheless not fully clear how Jim Hammond might hook up with Imaginative and prescient’s story arc within the present.
