Sharon Carter has the means and desire to be Paladin's Client due to her Power Broker status and resources. > Sharon Carter is one of only a few MCU characters with both the means and the desire to be Paladin's Client. ## Madripoor Connection VisionQuest returns to Madripoor, the Power Broker's home base from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. > VisionQuest will return to Madripoor, the Power Broker's home base in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. ## Alternative Clients Other potential clients include Billy Maximoff, Tyler Hayward, or Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis. > If Sharon Carter doesn't turn out to be the Client in VisionQuest, there are only a handful of other options. ## Billy Maximoff Billy Maximoff, Vision's other son, could be the Client but lacks motivation for tracking Vision. > One theory online is that the Client is none other than Billy Maximoff, Vision's other son. ## Tyler Hayward Tyler Hayward, former S.W.O.R.D. acting director, might track Vision after his release from court-martial. > Another possibility is that the mysterious Client is former S.W.O.R.D. acting director Tyler Hayward. ## Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis could be behind Paladin's mission using their combined resources. > Keeping with the WandaVision theme, perhaps the tag team of Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis could be behind the Paladin's mission. ## Armor Wars Conflict Armor Wars movie might have been planned for Sharon Carter's return but is unlikely to happen. > There is a distinct chance that Marvel Studios planned to include the Power Broker as a major villain in the Armor Wars movie. ## Armor Wars Status Armor Wars has been in development for six years with no completed script, director, or release date. > It's been six years since Marvel first announced Armor Wars, and the film has yet to attain a finished script, a director, or a release date. ## Sharon Carter's Return Timeline Sharon Carter's earliest return could be in 2028, seven years after her last appearance. > If it doesn't happen in VisionQuest, it's unlikely to happen before the end of the MCU's Phase Six, which deals with bigger things like Doctor Doom and the collapse of the Multiverse. ## VisionQuest Release VisionQuest premieres new episodes every Tuesday on Disney+. > VisionQuest premieres new episodes every Tuesday on Disney+. ## Key takeaway Sharon Carter could reappear in VisionQuest as the Power Broker, potentially returning to the MCU after her last appearance in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
