Marvel's ‘Vision' Lands ‘Schitt's Creek' Star Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H.
Vision may have met his match. Marvel Studios' spin-off series about Vision has landed 'Schitt's Creek' star Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H., the Stark Industries artificial intelligence introduced in 2019's 'Spider-Man: Far From Home.' She joins Paul Bettany, who is reprising his role as the now-reincarnated synthezoid character (who is the physical manifestation of another Stark Industries AI, Jarvis). More from Variety 'The Fantastic Four' Director Matt Shakman Reveals the 'Magical' Comics That Inspired the Film in 'Small and Large Ways' (EXCLUSIVE) Marvel Studios Skipping Comic-Con Hall H Panel for 2025 As Comic Book Movies Scale Back Releases, Marvel and DC Look to This Summer to Decide the Future of Superhero Cinema In 'Far From Home,' E.D.I.T.H. is introduced as a gift that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) bequeaths to Peter Parker (Tom Holland) after Stark sacrifices his life in 'Avengers: Endgame.' (The name stands for 'Even Dead, I'm The Hero.') Peter controls E.D.I.T.H. through a pair of high-tech sunglasses, which he unwittingly gives to the film's villain, Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal), before retrieving them at the end of the movie. The glasses are confiscated after Peter's identity as Spider-Man is revealed to world, and E.D.I.T.H.'s ultimate fate is left unresolved. It's unclear whether Hampshire is just lending her voice to the role or will be embodying it as well, but the character will be one of several AI to populate the series. James Spader is reprising his role as Ultron, the villain from 2015's 'Avengers: Age of Ultron,' and T'Nia Miller ('The Diplomat') is playing Jocasta, another robotic character from the Marvel Comics. Other co-stars include Todd Stashwick ('Star Trek: Picard') and Ruaridh Mollica ('Ridley'). More to come.

Murkowski book with ‘fervent' appeal for bipartisanship planned for June
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is penning a bipartisanship-focused memoir that calls for compromise amid a deeply divided Congress. 'Far From Home' details how Murkowski 'learned to adapt to the harsh climate of Washington, D.C., and issues a fervent appeal for a politics grounded in compromise and compassion,' publisher Forum Books said in promotional materials released this week. The Last Frontier State's senior senator, the publisher said, 'has repeatedly stood at the center of our nation's most challenging issues, serving as a swing vote and a voice willing to challenge the president, regardless of who holds the office.' In remarks this week, Murkowski urged fellow senators not to give up their legislative authority. She said it's possible to be a '100-percent supporter of President Trump and still stand up for the institution of the Senate, for the legislative branch, with our authorities that are prescribed to us specifically by the Constitution.' The 67-year-old lawmaker's memoir, poised to be released June 24, was 'written at a time when Americans' trust in their institutions is in crisis' and will offer a 'candid account of how things get done in Washington.' 'My purpose in writing is to show what I learned along the way,' Murkowski said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. 'I want to revive your hope that it is possible for our democracy to function again as a forum for Americans of goodwill to collectively solve our problems and protect our liberties,' she said. The publisher called 'Far From Home: An Alaskan Senator Faces the Extreme Climate of Washington, D.C.' an 'uplifting narrative for anyone seeking reassurance that our political system can still work.'
