New Rumor Claims Marvel's VISION Series Will Use Human Versions of the MCU's AI Characters — GeekTyrant
Over the last year, we've seen a lot of casting news from Marvel's Vision series, and we've seen a lot of great actors join the series. While we don't have a ton of info on the show's synopsis, a new rumor about the show certainly lines up with the roles that have been cast. Paul Bettany stars in the series as a new version of Vision, White Vision, after he lost the Mind Stone and had his memories restored by the Hex Vision. He will be joined by Emily Hampshire, who will be playing E.D.I.T.H. the sleek, intimidating AI system originally created by Tony Stark; James Spader reprising his iconic role as Ultron; T'Nia Miller as Jocasta (another familiar AI name from Marvel lore); Faran Tahir, who returns as Raza, a character we last saw in Iron Man, as well as Todd Stashwick, and Ruaridh Mollica. Industry scooper Daniel Richtman has proven himself a reliable source for Vision intel, and he's just shared a big update on plans for the WandaVision follow-up (via CBM). He claims that the AI characters will appear in human form for most of Vision to save on VFX costs and to help get the series on Disney+ as soon as early 2026. It's a smart decision on Marvel Studios' part if true, though we do hope to see the likes of Ultron and Jocasta get some memorable moments in their robot forms, too. The solid cast list makes sense for this news, as they are bringing in some great actors to bring these characters to life. I think this series sounds like it's shaping up to be really new and original, and I am really looking forward to seeing how it plays out. I loved WandaVision , and if this is anything like it, I think we are in for an exciting ride. Stay tuned for updates on the project as it moves forward.

Emily Hampshire Confirmed To Join Marvel's VISION as E.D.I.T.H., Tony Stark's Former AI — GeekTyrant
Schitt's Creek breakout Emily Hampshire has officially joined the cast of Marvel's upcoming Vision series for Disney+. It was rumored last week and now Deadline confirms Hampshire will be playing E.D.I.T.H. the sleek, intimidating AI system originally created by Tony Stark. That's right. E.D.I.T.H., which is short for Even Dead, I'm The Hero, is back. First introduced in Spider-Man: Far From Home as Stark's posthumous gift to Peter Parker, the advanced AI system offers control over a global satellite defense network and a fleet of weaponized drones. Now, it seems E.D.I.T.H. will have a more prominent role and a new personality behind the voice. Hampshire joins Paul Bettany, who returns as the titular synthezoid Vision in this WandaVision spinoff. She'll appear alongside a cast that already includes James Spader reprising his iconic role as Ultron, T'Nia Miller as Jocasta (another familiar AI name from Marvel lore), as well as Todd Stashwick, Ruaridh Mollica, and Faran Tahir, who returns as Raza, a character we last saw in Iron Man.

Hampshire is best known for her deadpan brilliance as Stevie Budd on Schitt's Creek , a role that earned her and the cast a Screen Actors Guild Award. She's also fresh off starring in the Prime Video thriller The Rig and will next appear opposite Vince Vaughn in the 20th Century Studios comedy Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice . The Vision series marks Marvel's second spinoff from WandaVision , following the upcoming Agatha All Along , and is one of several shows currently in active development, including Daredevil: Born Again .
