Marvel Recasts MCU AI Character E.D.I.T.H. With Emily Hampshire for Vision Quest Series

Marvel Studios is progressing with its Disney+ series Vision Quest, a spinoff of WandaVision, and has cast Emily Hampshire, known for Schitt's Creek, as E.D.I.T.H., an AI system originally created by Tony Stark and introduced in Spider-Man: Far From Home. This marks a significant expansion of the MCU’s exploration of artificial intelligences, with other AI characters like Ultron and Jocasta also set to appear. Vision Quest will follow Paul Bettany's Vision character after WandaVision, delving into the complex existence of these AI entities. Hampshire’s casting suggests E.D.I.T.H. will have a more prominent role, potentially appearing in a physical form rather than just a voice as in previous appearances. The series aims to address unresolved MCU storylines and deepen the narrative around Tony Stark’s AI creations. A release date for Vision Quest has not yet been announced, but it is expected to debut on Disney+ before the next Avengers film.
