Marvel Studios Recasts Beloved MCU Character

Marvel Studios Recasts Beloved MCU Character

Screen Geek31-05-2025
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is tied together by the recurring appearances of fan-favorite characters and the actors that portray them. As with most overlarge franchises, however, there have been recasts over the years. Now it looks like Marvel Studios made the decision to recast another MCU character for an upcoming project.
Several MCU projects are currently in the works for both theaters and television. This particular recast will happen in an upcoming Disney Plus series, with the character having first appeared in the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home . It's an interesting move on Marvel's part, but because of the unique scenario surrounding this role, it's quite understandable.
This news specifically comes via insider Daniel Richtman, so we'll have to see what the official statement from Marvel Studios will be, but it looks like Richtman's claims are accurate so far. Fans will know for sure when the series Vision Quest is released via Disney Plus, but read below to know what Richtman had to share.
According to Daniel Richtman, it looks like the character E.D.I.T.H., an A.I. built by Tony Stark which first debuted in Spider-Man: Far From Home , will be recast. This original version of the character was first voiced by Dawn Michelle King. The artificial intelligence was specifically tied to Stark's signature sunglasses that Tom Holland's Peter Parker later inherited but lost to the Department of Damage Control.
Now Dawn Michelle King is apparently being recast with a new actress that will portray a human version of the artificial intelligence MCU character. This cast member will be none other than Emily Hampshire, who previously worked with Vision Quest showrunner Terry Matalas on 12 Monkeys .
It's possible that King will still portray the original voice version of the character, but equally possible that Hampshire will replace her entirely, so we'll have to see what happens. However, it's an interesting development for Vision Quest , which will include several artificial intelligence characters featured in the MCU and in humanoid forms similar to Vision.
Vision Quest is scheduled to be released via Disney Plus in 2026. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the highly-anticipated series as we have them.

Is Marvel and DC's New Crossover The Big-Screen Pitch Hollywood Should Pay Attention To? — GeekTyrant

The age-old Marvel vs. DC debate is about to hit a whole new level, and for once, it's not about who's better. It's about what happens when these two universes collide. For decades, fans have dreamed of a crossover event, and while Hollywood has never delivered, Marvel Comics and DC are stepping up in a way that should make Marvel Studios and DC Studios pay attention. Starting this September, the ultimate team-up kicks off with Deadpool/Batman #1, published by Marvel, followed in November by DC's Batman/Deadpool #1. You can't get more high-profile than the Merc with a Mouth and the Dark Knight, and both one-shots come loaded with all-star creative talent. Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo headline the first issue, while DC returns fire with its own stacked lineup. But the crossover doesn't stop there. Backup stories bring even more iconic pairings together: Daredevil teams with Green Arrow in a story by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert; Jeff the Land Shark meets Krypto courtesy of Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru; and perhaps the most symbolic matchup of all… Captain America and Wonder Woman, crafted by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson. Dodson even delivers a stunning cover featuring Cap and Diana side by side, a visual that screams cinematic potential. And that's the thing. Comics are giving fans what they've craved for decades, but why stop there? Hollywood is sitting on a goldmine. Marvel Studios is trying to regain its momentum after a rocky stretch, while James Gunn's DC Universe is just getting started with Superman. A crossover event on the big screen could be the ultimate box office play, injecting fresh energy into both franchises and breaking records along the way. When previously talking about the idea Gunn said: 'We've talked about it a billion times. That could easily happen, but simultaneous to that, I think it would be interesting. But I also think people are a little over it.' Gunn then offers a smart outlook on things: 'I think people wanna see good stories with their superheroes and that's what matters. And they wanna see different types of stories with their superheroes. And people love superheroes. That's obvious, but they need more variety, and they need just more quality storytelling. 'And just having Spider-Man and Superman team up isn't gonna do it if it's sh-t. So it's gotta come from a real place, and it's really hard to make that work.' I 100% agree, and while it would be pretty awesome to see a Marvel and DC crossover on the big screen, it's not going to happen for a very very long time… if ever. It sure is fun, though, to imagine Wonder Woman and Captain America sharing the screen along with Batman and Deadpool bantering in live-action. It's the kind of cinematic event fans, and box office analysts, dream about. Variant covers tease even more jaw-dropping face-offs: Artgerm pits Magik against Catwoman, Steve McNiven unleashes Wolverine versus Batman, and Peach Momoko pairs Elektra with Batgirl. These aren't just cool covers—they're blueprints for billion-dollar matchups. Do you think the studios should start jumping into this crossovers, or should they stay in their respective universes?
