STAR TREK Actor Cast in VISION QUEST Series as Character Last Seen in the MCU in AVENGERS
Marvel's Vision Quest series is headed our way next year, and casting is underway ahead of the show's shooting schedule. The series is being showrun by Star Trek: Picard writer/producer Terry Matalas, who won't be the only Trek alum on set. The studio revealed that Orla Brady, who plays the dual role of housekeeper Laris and supervisor Tallinn in Picard , has now been confirmed to be included in Vision Quest's cast. Collider reports that at Star Trek Las Vegas this month, Matalas confirmed that Brady would be portraying the artificial intelligence character FRIDAY in Vision Quest . Brady joins a number of other actors playing AIso in the upcoming series, including James Spader, making his return after 11 years as Ultron; T'Nia Miller, who will debut as Jocasta; and Emily Hampshire, who takes on the role of EDITH, first seen in 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home . FRIDAY, Tony Stark's replacement for JARVIS, was voiced by Kerry Condon between Avengers: Age of Ultron and Endgame , but we haven't heard from the character since. It's too bad that Condon couldn't return to the role for whatever reason, but Brady is a great choice for the role. Stay tuned for updates on Vision Quest , which is currently in production, and it set to hit Disney+ sometime next year.

Terry Matalas Reveals New ‘Vision Quest' Details
At Saturday's STLV convention, former Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas revealed some Marvel-approved details about his upcoming series, Vision Quest. The sci-fi series reunites him with actors Todd Stashwick and Orla Brady, who respectively played Captain Shaw and Laris/Tallinn in Picard. According to Matalas, Brady will be playing F.R.I.D.A.Y.—Tony Stark's AI assistant previously voiced in the films by Kerry Condon—and Stashwick is Paladin, a mercenary in Marvel Comics. When Stashwick was announced for the show, he was described as an assassin tracking down Paul Bettany's White Vision, who gained sentience at the end of WandaVision. As for a returning Ultron, last seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron and played by James Spader, Matalas teased the character would be used in a 'unique' way. The series' cast also includes Ruaridh Mollica, T'Nia Miller, Faran Tahir, and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H., the Stark-made AI in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Matalas further revealed Vision Quest was full of Star Trek fans, which let them speak in Trek shorthand during production. He compared Vision's journey in the show to Spock's in Star Trek IV, implying the new android will have trouble connecting to his old memories now that he's been reawakened. The panel didn't feature a trailer or photos, but count us intrigued for Vision Quest, which is expected to hit Disney+ sometime in 2026. [via Alex Perry] Want more io9 news?

Marvel's ARMOR WARS Reportedly May Be Dead, but There Are Possible Plot Details — GeekTyrant
Marvel's long gestating Armor Wars project might have finally flatlined. At least, that's what the latest industry chatter suggests. Originally revealed as a Disney+ series back in 2020, Armor Wars was later upgraded to a feature film in 2022 with Don Cheadle set to lead as James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, aka War Machine. Since then we haven't heard much, but now, according to new intel from scooper Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus, it's looking like the project may never see the light of day. When asked if Armor Wars was definitively scrapped or just stalled, Perez responded: 'Many of the ideas for Armor Wars were transferred to other projects. The main one is VisionQuest with Ultron, but there are others, such as Wonder Man which will also delve into the DODC as they investigate Simon Williams. 'The one thing I think that won't be repurposed into another show, and which we may sadly miss, is Rhodey's arc from the events of Secret Invasion and how Rhodey copes with many of the events that have happened in the MCU since Raava replaced him.' While, the storylines intended for Armor Wars aren't disappearing, they're being reallocated to other projects that are still moving forward. Perez also shared some context on Rhodey's original arc, which might have offered a deeper, more personal chapter for the character: 'The original idea, as I understand it, was to have been replaced at some point between the events of Avengers: Endgame & The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. 'There were talks at one point about setting it as far back as Captain America: Civil War, but a massive online backlash against that idea led to the decision to set it later in the timeline. 'There was also the idea of exploring the legacy of Tony Stark and the ramifications the character had among his closest friends and family. So, we would have seen the return of Pepper Potts and Morgan Stark.' Armor Wars would have also brought back key emotional ties to Tony Stark, something many fans have been wanting to see more of post-Endgame. It's a shame we may never get to see that. So what happens now? VisionQuest is still in development, and Wonder Man is expected to debut later this year. Meanwhile, there's no official cancellation announcement for Armor Wars, so technically, it's still on the books. But, we'll just have to see how that all plays out. I would actually like to see this Armor Wars movie get made to see how Rhodey deals with the aftermath of the events of Secret Invasion, which was the most interesting part of the series.

Vision Quest Casts Ultron's Wife Jocasta and Human Version of EDITH
We've barely gotten any updates on Disney+'s Vision Quest series, but we've been getting some new casting rumors about characters that will be appearing in the show–specifically other AI like Vision. Besides the return of James Spader as Ultron, Deadline has also reported that T'Nia Miller ( The Haunting of Bly Manor ) has been cast as Jocasta in the series. In the comics, Jocasta was a robot created by Ultron (just like Vision) with the intention to put Janet Van Dyne's (The Wasp) consciousness inside her and make her his robot wife. Apparently that backfires and Jocasta ends up being a force for good. With the changes in Ultron's origins in the MCU, it would be possible that Jocasta's origins will be different, but the leaked concept art for Doomsday did feature concept art for Jocasta who was also played by Michelle Pfeiffer (a.k.a. Janet from Quantumania ). Besides Miller, there is also a rumor going around that Emily Hampshire ( Schitt's Creek ) has also been cast in the series as the human version of EDITH—the AI that was gifted to Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Far from Home . EDITH hasn't been explored or mentioned since that movie, but it would make sense for a show about Vision to delve into all the other AI characters in the MCU. I wouldn't be surprised if the original JARVIS showed up, or other AI like Tony Stark's Friday—the AI that helps him right after he lost JARVIS to Ultron. Vision Quest is expected to release on Disney+ sometime in 2026.

Marvel's 'Vision Quest' Spin-Off Beams Up 'Star Trek' Writing Team
Marvel's mysterious TV project Vision Quest , a spin-off series based on 2021's WandaVision , has gained a team of veteran Star Trek writers and production staff. The series, which has been in development for over a year, will be helmed by Terry Matalas, who was the showrunner and writer of seasons two and three of 2022's Star Trek: Picard , and also wrote season 3 of 2003's Star Trek: Enterprise . Matalas isn't the lone Star Trek talent either, as he is set to reunite with fellow franchise writers for the upcoming series. WandaVision (2021) As detailed by Vision Quest's listing on the Writers Guild of America website, Matalas will be joined by co-executive producers Chris Monfette, Cindy Appel, and supervising producer Matt Okumura, who all worked on the latter half of Star Trek: Picard . Rounding off the team is co-executive producer Michael A. Taylor, who wrote episodes of the 1993 sci-fi series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , 1995's Star Trek: Voyager , and 2004's Battlestar Galactica . With such a strong team of sci-fi talent, things are looking up for the elusive Marvel series. Filming for Vision Quest began earlier in the year at Pinewood Studios in London, and although plot details have not been revealed, the series would most likely follow after the events of WandaVision and be centred around Paul Bettany's White Vision. Additionally, the series is also set to include the return of some familiar faces, such as James Spader's Ultron from 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron , alongside Raza from the original 2008 Iron Man film, the leader of the Ten Rings terrorist group who kidnaps Tony Stark in the beginning of the movie which led to the creation of the Mark 1 suit. No confirmed release window has been announced for Vision Quest , although the series is expected to be released on Disney+ sometime in 2026. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. Marvel Star Trek Vision Quest WandaVision
