Schitt’s Creek star Emily Hampshire has been cast in Marvel’s upcoming Vision series. She is set to play a key role in the Disney+ show alongside Paul Bettany, who reprises his role from WandaVision.

Emily Hampshire is known for playing Stevie Budd in Schitt’s Creek, but she has also starred in Chapelwaithe and more recently Prime’s thriller The Rig.

According to Deadline, Hampshire is set to play E.D.I.T.H., Tony Stark’s augmented reality security and defense system. This system was created by Stark and given to Peter Parker after his death as it offered access to global satellites and an arsenal of drones and missiles.

Hampshire will star alongside James Spader, who is set to reprise his role as Ultron, and Faran Tahir, who is returning as Raza after almost two decades. Newcomers to the MCU include T’Nia Miller, who has been confirmed to...

After having a blast with Marvel‘s Thunderbolts* and counting the days until The Fantastic Four: First Steps lands in theaters on July 25, 2025, Marvel Studios is ready to reveal that an actor from one of my favorite sitcoms, Schitt’s Creek, will play E.D.I.T.H. in the upcoming Disney+ series Vision. Marvel proudly welcomes Emily Hampshire to the MCU!

Emily Hampshire plays Stevie Budd on Schitt’s Creek, the cynical desk clerk and employee at the Rosebud Motel. Stevie becomes close with the Rose family throughout their stay in Schitt’s Creek and even becomes best friends with David Rose (Dan Levy), the brother of Alexis (Annie Murphy) and the spoiled son of Johnny (Eugene Levy) and Moira (Catherine O’Hara). In Vision, Hampshire plays E.D.I.T.H., the Stark Industries artificial intelligence introduced in 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. E.D.I.T.H. stands for Even Dead,...

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.

In “Far From Home,” E.D.I.T.H. is presented as a gift that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) bequeaths to Peter Parker (Tom Holland) after Stark sacrifices his life in “Avengers: Endgame.” 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...

Schitt’s Creek alumna Emily Hampshire is set for a key role in Marvel’s Vision series for Disney+ opposite Paul Bettany who is reprising his titular MCU character in the WandaVision spinoff, sources tell Deadline.

Hampshire is believed to be playing the sophisticated artificial intelligence E.D.I.T.H., Tony Stark’s augmented reality security and defense system. In the MCU, E.D.I.T.H. was originally created by Stark and bequeathed to Peter Parker following Stark’s death. It provides access to Stark Industries’ global satellite network along with an arsenal of missiles and drones.

A rep for Marvel declined comment.

Vision‘s cast also includes James Spader, who reprises his MCU role as Ultron, T’Nia Miller as Jocasta, Todd Stashwick and Ruaridh Mollica. Additionally, Faran Tahir is reprising his MCU role of Raza.

This is the second WandaVision spinoff, following Agatha All Along.

After WandaVision, Paul Bettany will return for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe series Vision Quest. Among his co-stars is Star Trek: Picard actor Todd Stashwick.

When Stashwick's casting was first announced, it was reported that he'd be playing an "assassin who is on the trail of the android and the technology he possesses." A character name was not disclosed, leaving it unclear if he'd be playing an existing character from Marvel lore, or an original role created for the show. However, a new report by film industry insider Daniel Richtman claims that Stashwick will be playing the character Paladin. No other details were disclosed, though the name would suggest that Stashwick will indeed play an MCU incarnation of a Marvel Comics character.

Created by Jim Shooter and Carmine Infantino, Paladin first appeared in a 1978 issue of Daredevil. He would later face off with The Punisher before working with notable teams...

The Vision cast has started taking shape in recent days, and after reporting yesterday that Kerry Condon and James D'Arcy are confirmed to reprise their respective roles as F.R.I.D.A.Y. and Edwin Jarvis, we have another update from Daniel Richtman.

He's learned that Todd Stashwick (12 Monkeys) will play Paladin, a mercenary hunting down Vision to steal the technology powering him. Whether he's doing so at the behest of S.W.O.R.D. or another unknown foe remains to be seen.

@MyTimeToShineH, meanwhile, has shared an Avengers: Doomsday update, specifically in regards to Ghost Rider. The leaker writes, "Ryan Gosling is Marvel's top choice for Ghost Rider, the only obstacle is Star Wars: Starfighter. If everything aligns, he'll appear in Doomsday!" We'll see if this pans out.

Over at The Cosmic Circus, Alex Perez says he expects the Champions (a.k.a. the Young Avengers) to assemble in Avengers: Doomsday.

As Marvel Studios' Vision series - which may or may not turn out to be titled "Vision Quest" - continues to round out its cast, we have a very interesting update relating to Tony Stark's former AI assistant.

According to Daniel Richtman, Kerry Condon will appear as F.R.I.D.A.Y. in human form. This isn't the first time the Academy Award-nominated The Banshees of Inisherin star has been mentioned in connection with the Vision show, but we weren't sure if she'd actually appear in live-action or simply add her voice to the character.

Condon voiced Tony's second AI after J.A.R.V.I.S. (Paul Bettany) was transformed into Vision. We have also heard that James D'Arcy will return as Edwin Jarvis in some capacity.

How these characters will factor into the show remains to be seen.

We recently learned that T’nia Miller will play the Bride of Ultron,...

Marvel Television's Vision/Vision Quest TV series will pick up where WandaVision left off, but the project, overseen by showrunner Terry Matalas, is shaping up to be unlike anything we expected.

"Human" versions of several MCU androids and AIs have been cast, and according to insider Daniel Richtman, Emily Hampshire will play the physical manifestation of E.D.I.T.H. He broke the news that T'Nia Miller will play Vision's Jocasta yesterday, with the trades confirming it a few hours later, so you shouldn't dismiss this rumour.

Dawn Michelle King voiced E.D.I.T.H. in 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home. However, she's not an on-screen actress and is best known for her work as an editor on movies like Ant-Man, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Mortal Kombat. It makes sense, then, for the role to be recast.

Hampshire worked with Matalas on 12 Monkeys and is also known...

T’Nia Miller has racked up an impressive list of TV credits in recent years, having appeared in episodes of Doctor Who, Marcella, Sex Education, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Foundation, The Peripheral, The Fall of the House of Usher, Generation Z, and Gangs of London, among many others. Now, Deadline reports that Miller has landed a major role in the Marvel’s Disney+ series that is either called Vision or Vision Quest. Miller is believed to be playing one of the leads of the series – and word is that she’ll be playing “the cunning and powerful Jocasta, who is driven by revenge. In the comic books, Jocasta is a robot Ultron builds to be his bride who eventually sides with the Avengers.“

Paul Bettany will be reprising the role of Vision on the series. In addition to Miller, Bettany is being joined in the cast by Faran Tahir, back...

British actor T’Nia Miller has been confirmed to play Jocasta in Marvel Television’s Disney+ series now simply titled “Vision,” an eight-episode follow-up to WandaVision that is filming at Pinewood Studios for a 2026 debut. The casting places Miller opposite Paul Bettany’s White Vision and the returning voice of James Spader as Ultron, while highlighting Marvel’s shift to a showrunner-led model under Star Trek: Picard alum Terry Matalas.

Marvel Studios has quietly filled a pivotal slot in its WandaVision sequel by hiring T’Nia Miller to portray Jocasta, the sophisticated AI traditionally built by Ultron as his “bride.” Deadline’s scoop, echoed by multiple trade sites, describes the live-action Jocasta as “cunning, powerful and driven by revenge,” signalling that the android may enter the story as an antagonist before her comic-book turn toward heroism.

Miller joins a cast led by Paul Bettany, with James Spader reprising Ultron alongside Todd Stashwick,...

The Fall of the House of Usherstar T'Nia Miller is officially set to make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Vision Quest.

Per Deadline, Miller has been added to the cast of the McU's Paul Bettany-led series in the role of a beloved fan-favorite hero from the world of Marvel Comics - Jocasta. Although details regarding the specific role that Miller's Jocasta will play in the series' story have been kept under wraps, it is expected that she will be counted among its main cast members.

Introduced in the pages of 1977's Avengers #162 by Jim Shooter and George Perez, Jocasta is an advanced artificial intelligence created by the villainous Ultron to serve as both his unwitting bride and a twisted counterpart to Janet Van Dyne, aka the Wasp. Rather than playing along with Ultron's egomaniacal fantasies, the remnants of Janet's consciousness that were imparted into Jocasta's artificial psyche ensured...

T’Nia Miller (The Fall of the House of Usher) is set for a major role in Marvel’s Vision series for Disney+, sources confirm to Deadline. She is believed to be playing one of the leads opposite Paul Bettany who is reprising his titular MCU character in the WandaVision spinoff.

The new series is thought be set after the events in WandaVision and follow Vision (Bettany) as he tries to regain his memory and humanity.

Miller is said to be playing the cunning and powerful Jocasta who is driven by revenge. In the comic books, Jocasta is a robot Ultron builds to be his bride who eventually sides with the Avengers.

Miller is believed to be part of Vision‘s main cast alongside Bettany, James Spader, who reprises his MCU role as Ultron, Todd Stashwick and Ruaridh Mollica. Additionallt, Faran Tahir is reprising is MCU role of Raza.

Update: Deadline has confirmed that Miller will play Jocasta, who is described as "cunning, powerful and driven by revenge."

We've been hearing rumors that Marvel Studios' WandaVision spin-off focusing on Paul Bettany's Synthezoid will introduce Jocasta to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a reliable source is now claiming that the role has been filled.

According to Daniel Richtman, T’nia Miller will play the Bride of Ultron in the Disney+ series.

The scooper mentions that Jocasta will be a villain, but there's a chance she will ultimately end up joining the Avengers down the line. In the comics, Jocasta - later known as Jocasta Pym - was created to be Ultron's bride, and was given the brainwaves of Janet van Dyne. It remains to be seen if the character will be given a similar origin for her live-action debut.

Star Trek: Picard season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas explained why it was "terrible" to lose Picard's original actors to make way for the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Santiago Cabrera, Allison Pill, Isa Briones, and Evan Evagora were Star Trek: Picard season 1 series regulars alongside Patrick Stewart, Michelle Hurd, and Jeri Ryan. However, only Ryan and Hurd joined Stewart for Star Trek: Picard season 3, which reunited Admiral Jean-Luc Picard with his crew from the USS Enterprise-d.

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Disney+ series Vision Quest is adding new faces to its cast, including the introduction of Jocasta, a cybernetic character from the comics, according to rumors. The show continues to build its roster of robotic and AI-driven characters, and fans are excited to see how Jocasta will fit into the story.

Jocasta was created by Jim Shooter and George Perez in 1977, making her first appearance in The Avengers (1963) #162. Jocasta was originally built by Ultron, the villainous AI, to be his bride, similar to how Frankenstein created his bride.

Her programming was modeled after the brain patterns of Janet Pym (also known as the Wasp), whom Ultron tried to drain of life to bring Jocasta to consciousness. However, the Avengers stopped his plan, and Hank Pym (Ant-Man) took Jocasta’s inactive body. Eventually, he brought her to life, and over time, Jocasta became a recurring member of the Avengers,...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe had plenty of characters back in the Infinity Saga -- just rewatch the portal scene from "Avengers: Endgame" for an instant reminder -- but things have ballooned to truly gargantuan proportions in the Multiverse Saga. The sheer number of independent sub-series and Disney+ shows has made it basically impossible to keep track of everyone, leaving many characters to fall through the cracks for years at a time.

Such has been the case with White Vision (Paul Bettany), the silvery, S.W.O.R.D.-made copy of the red synthezoid who appears toward the end of "WandaVision" and ... well, nowhere else, so far. In the comics, it's a bit easier to juggle dozens of characters at the same time, but Hollywood makes that incredibly difficult with massive budgets and restrictive shooting and production schedules.

For those reasons, more casual MCU fans may have forgotten about White Vision entirely.

The Picard finale was a great affair, but it could have been even bigger! Here's some of the cooler ideas that didn't make it in!

Caution: This article contains Spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Season 3

Star Trek: Picard had a rough go in its first two seasons. Having Patrick Stewart back as Jean-Luc Picard was a great idea, with Star Trek fans excited to see the return of the iconic captain. 

However, the first two seasons were muddled. Seeing a broken Picard looking old as he faced a Romulan plot was hampered by a confusing storyline and a lack of engaging side characters. Season 2 had the return of Q, yet it also suffered with a time travel plotline and a rushed finale. 

Season 3, however, was what Star Trek fans had always wanted: A full-on reunion of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast on a grand adventure. It was everything fans could hope for,...

In October 2022, it was announced that Vision Quest was in development, with Jac Schaeffer serving as head writer and executive producer. By May 2023, Eileen Shim had joined the series as a writer as well.

However, Schaeffer shifted her focus to Agatha All Along, and now Vision Quest is being led by Terry Matalas. With Matalas at the helm, this marks Marvel’s first new live-action TV series in nearly two years, signaling a shift in their approach to TV production on Disney+.

Previously, Marvel followed a movie-style model with directors and creative leaders in charge, but starting in 2022, they switched to a more traditional TV model, with longer development timelines and writer-producers as showrunners.

There have been some major updates recently. Paul Bettany revealed that he is preparing for his role as White Vision by watching Agatha All Along, hinting that the two shows are connected. Which would make sense...

In the two-part "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "Scorpion", Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) found that she had to pilot the U.S.S. Voyager through a portion of space that was overrun by the Borg. The Borg, however, are too busy to stop and deal with the Voyager, as they are dealing with a destructive new foe known only as Species 8472. It seems that the Borg tried to puncture the membrane between dimensions and invade a parallel universe that is filled entirely with liquid. The 8472 aliens from the liquid dimension, however, were far too aggressive and powerful for the Borg to take on, and found themselves being handily destroyed.

Janeway, sensing an opportunity, struck a bargain with the Borg, asking for safe passage through their space in exchange for aid with Species 8472. As a liaison between the Voyager and the Borg, a single drone, known only as Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan...

The HBO series The Franchise gave a satirical behind-the-scenes look at the making of a film that was part of a larger superhero franchise, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC film universes. Ruaridh Mollica had a recurring role on the show, playing a character named Jaz Cox. HBO ended up cancelling The Franchise after just one season – and now, Mollica is moving on from a project that poked fun at superhero franchises to joining a superhero franchise. Deadline reports that Mollica will be entering the MCU with a role in Marvel’s Disney+ series that is either called Vision or Vision Quest.

Deadline’s sources told them that Mollica will be playing a character named Tucker, but some MCU fans aren’t buying it. The speculation going around is that Mollica will actually be playing an older version of Tommy Maximoff, one of the twin sons Wanda Maximoff...

The Vision series has added another intriguing member to its expanding cast. A report from Deadlineannounced that Ruaridh Mollica has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a recurring role in the Disney+ show. Ironically, the actor most recently appeared in the HBO original series The Franchise, which parodies the chaotic productions of giant superhero blockbusters. The Vision series will serve as the second spinoff to WandaVision, taking place after the events of the final episode, which saw the newly resurrected Vision fly off and leave Westview.

The report from the news outlet also states that Mollica will play a character named Tucker. Like most MCU projects currently in development, details about "Tucker" are being kept under wraps. Paul Bettany will reprise his role as Vision on his journey to regain his humanity, and the cast is rounded out with some familiar faces (and voices), with James Spader returning to voice...

Jac Schaeffer was originally going to take charge of Vision (which may or may not still be called Vision Quest) but moved on from the series to focus on Agatha All Along.

Vision is still expected to form part of the WandaVision "trilogy," though it feels like these shows are all building to the long-rumoured Scarlet Witch movie. If so, we'd bet on that adapting elements from Avengers: The Children's Crusade, as Wanda, Vision, Billy, and Tommy finally reunite.

Nexus Point News has spotted an update to cinematographer Christopher Ross' online résumé in which he lists Vision Quest as one of his upcoming projects. Interestingly, he also names the show's directors.

Showrunner Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard) will be part of the team stepping behind the camera, as will his 12 Monkeys collaborator, Christopher J. Byrne (American Gods).

Perhaps the most intriguing addition to Vision is Vincenzo Natali. Best known for...

Paul Bettany's Vision spinoff will reportedly feature an actor from HBO's superhero spoof series The Franchise. Ruaridh Mollica will be a regular in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe show.

Deadline reports that Mollica will play a character named Tucker in the Vision series, but other details about the role have not yet been revealed to the public.Vision will star Paul Bettany, James Spader (the McU's Ultron), Todd Stashwick, as well as the recently cast Faran Tahir, who played the villainous Raza in Robert Downey Jr.'s first Iron Man film back in 2008.

Marvel Studios' planned Vision series has added another new cast member, and there's already speculation that the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have found its Tommy Maximoff, aka Speed.

Deadline reports that The Franchise and Too Rough actor Ruaridh Mollica has joined the WandaVision spin-off as a character named "Tucker."

Though this Tucker might well be a completely different character, previous rumors have suggested that the Vision series will introduce Billy Maximoff's (Joe Locke) brother, who the newly powered-up Wiccan set off to locate alongside "Ghost Agatha" in the season finale of Agatha All Along.

At 25, Mollica is a little older than Locke (21), but he could convincingly play a teenager.

The untitled Vision project - which may or may not end up being called Vision Quest - has been described as "the third part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision and continues in Agatha All Along."

We found out last...

Exclusive: After recurring on HBO’s The Franchise, which spoofed Marvel-like superhero movies, Ruaridh Mollica is stepping into the MCU with a series regular role in the Marvel superhero series for Disney+ Vision, sources tell Deadline.

The Vision spinoff, headlined by Paul Bettany, is said to take place after the events in WandaVision where the character made a return after Thanos killed him in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. The new series is believed to follow Vision (Bettany) as he tries to regain his memory and humanity.

Mollica will play a character named Tucker. In addition to Bettany, he joins previously cast James Spader, who reprises his MCU role of Ultron, Todd Stashwick, and Faran Tahir, who will reprise the role of Raza.

Vision is the second WandaVision spinoff, following the recent buzzy release Agatha All Along. Next on Marvel’s Disney+ slate is the March debut of Daredevil: Born Again.

Neil Druckmann is one of the most well-known and celebrated figures in the gaming and entertainment industry. But that doesn’t mean he has been free of controversy. A lot of fans have criticized him for a lot of things from the direction of The Last of Us Part 2, to his personal comments.

One of the most debated aspects of his career is his work on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, which he took over after Amy Hennig’s departure. While Hennig had a different version in mind, the version we eventually got from Druckmann is arguably better in a lot of ways. And it has nothing to do with Hennig’s design being bad.

Neil Druckmann made a lot of crucial changes to Uncharted 4, and they worked The game turned out to be completely different, and it worked.

The gaming industry has seen its fair share of controversial departures, but few have sparked as much speculation and debate as Amy Hennig’s exit from Naughty Dog in 2014. As the creative force behind the Uncharted series, Hennig’s sudden departure left fans wondering what could have prompted such a dramatic split.

Nearly a decade later, the true reasons continue to remain shrouded in mystery, protected by NDAs and corporate silence. However, recent discussions have reignited interest in this pivotal moment in gaming history, with many pointing fingers at what they perceive as a fundamental shift in the studio’s creative direction under Neil Druckmann’s leadership.

The controversial exodus from Naughty Dog

Let’s rewind to 2014 when the gaming world was blindsided by news that would change Naughty Dog forever. Amy Hennig, the mastermind behind the intricate narratives of Uncharted,...

There are many forgotten characters from the McU's past that fans are desperate to see return to the big (or small) screen. That list includes surprisingly popular characters, like W'Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya), Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). One such name is returning for the upcoming Vision Quest Disney+ series. However, we'll forgive you for not immediately remembering who they are.

Per Deadline, Faran Tahir will reprize his long forgotten MCU role in Vision Quest. Tahir actually played the McU's first on-screen villain (providing you don't count The Incredible Hulk as cannon) in Iron Man, way back in 2008. Faran Tahir played Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings terrorist organization who kidnapped Tony Stark. If anything, Raza is responsible for the entire MCU, as him holding Stark hostage caused the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist to build his first prototype "in a cave... with a box of scraps.

Actor Faran Tahir is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming Disney+ series ‘Vision Quest,’ a spinoff from WandaVision. Tahir will reprise his role as Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings terrorist organization, a character he first played in 2008’s Iron Man. This marks Tahir’s first MCU appearance in nearly two decades, making his return a noteworthy moment for fans of the franchise.

Raza’s story was last seen in Iron Man, where he orchestrated Tony Stark’s kidnapping to force the creation of a Jericho missile. Although the character appeared to meet his end in the film, the MCU has shown time and again that death isn’t always permanent.

The series will follow Vision, played by Paul Bettany, as he attempts to regain his memories and redefine his purpose after the events of Avengers: Infinity War and WandaVision.

In addition to Bettany and Tahir,...

Marvel Studios is set to bring back a villain from the very first MCU movie for the upcoming Disney+ Vision series - but probably not the one you're expecting.

Deadline reports that Faran Tahir will return as Raza, the ruthless leader of the 10 Rings terrorist group who targetted Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in 2008's Iron Man. Raza appeared to meet his end at the hands of Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), but it's worth noting that we didn't actually see him die when Stane sent his men into the tent to finish off his former ally.

We have no idea why Marvel is utilizing this particular character for the WandaVision spin-off, but it might have something to do with Stark's involvement in Vision's creation. It's also entirely possible that Raza is dead, and will only appear in flashbacks or as some kind of illusion or construct.

The untitled...

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Vision series with Paul Bettany is going back to the source code: Faran Tahir is joining the show as Raza, the role he originated in the studio’s first feature film, 2008’s “Iron Man.”

Bettany is returning as the ghostly white version of the synthezoid he first played in the 2015 film “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and James Spader is reprising his role from “Age of Ultron” as the titular villainous AI. Todd Stashwick (“Star Trek: Picard”) is also playing an unspecified character.

Resurrecting Tahir’s character nearly 20 years after he first appeared will mark the longest gap between appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. That’s an even more impressive feat considering that Raza — best known for kidnapping Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark, the inciting incident that leads Start to become Iron Man — was seemingly killed halfway through “Iron Man” by the film’s main villain,...

Disney+’s Vision series is bringing back another familiar face from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Faran Tahir will reprise his role as villain Raza in the upcoming Marvel TV show, a role he played in the original 2008 Iron Man movie, our sister site Deadline reports. In that film, Raza was the leader of the terrorist group known as Ten Rings who imprisoned Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark. Raza was betrayed and seemingly killed by Jeff Bridges’ Obadiah Stane — but we all know death is merely a state of mind when it comes to comic books.

Deadline reports that Faran Tahir is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Marvel’s upcoming Vision series. He will reprise the role of Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings who kidnapped Tony Stark in the original Iron Man movie. I think this might set a new MCU record for the longest stretch between appearances.

Not much is known about the Vision series at this time. Paul Bettany will naturally be returning as Vision, but the series will also include James Spader as Ultron. Beyond brief mentions, we haven’t seen Ultron in any live-action MCU project since his introduction in Avengers: Age of Ultron ten years ago. Todd Stashwick has also joined the cast, and while it’s not known who he will be playing, previous reports have stated that he will be “an assassin who is on the trail of the android and the technology he possesses.

Big casting news has been revealed for the upcoming Vision Quest series in the works at Disney+. The series will bring back an actor from the very first Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to reprise his role nearly two decades later.

Per Deadline, it has been revealed that actor Faran Tahir (Star Trek) is set to appear in Vision Quest, a WandaVision spinoff series led by Paul Bettany. Tahir played the villainous terrorist, Raza, in Robert Downey Jr.'s first Iron Man film in 2008, and given the character's fate, he hasn't been seen in the MCU since. Reportedly, Tahir is reprising his role as Raza, but it's not yet clear how he will be factored into the story. The series is expected to follow Bettany's Vision as he attempts to heal following the events of Avengers: Infinity War and WandaVision.

Tahir will reprise the role of the villainous Raza, leader of the terrorist organization the 10 Rings who tried to kill Tony Stark in Iron Man.

Details are scarce on the new project, but as we previously reported, the Marvel Vision spinoff has been in development at Disney+ since 2022 and was picked up to series in May. It is believed to be centered on Vision (Bettany) as he tries to regain his memory and humanity. After Thanos killed him in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, Vision returned in 2021’s WandaVision.

With its Star Trek: The Next Generation reunion, Star Trek: Picard season 3 is amazing, but one aspect made me feel a bit guilty for loving it so much. Star Trek: Picard kicked off its third and final season when Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) receives an urgent distress call from Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). Picard then recruits his friend and former first officer Captain William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) to commandeer the USS Titan-a and mount a rescue mission. This mission eventually brought the rest of the Tng crew together aboard the rebuilt USS Enterprise-d for one last adventure.

As a huge fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, I loved seeing Picard reunite with his old crew aboard his iconic ship. Showrunner Terry Matalas and the other folks behind Star Trek: Picard season 3 let their love of Tng shine through and leaned into the nostalgia of seeing the Enterprise-d crew back together.

The USS Enterprise-d of Star Trek: The Next Generation was missing one element that every other Starship Enterprise has had. Following the adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his Enterprise crew, Tng ushered in a new golden era of Star Trek that lasted throughout the 1990s. With crew members like Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) and Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), the crew of Captain Picard's Enterprise became almost as popular as that of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner).

In both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, each main character had a specific role to play on their Starship Enterprise. Both ships, for example, had Chief Medical Officers and Chief Engineers who were part of the main cast. But while the Enterprise of Tos had a dedicated helmsman in Lt. Sulu (George Takei), the Enterprise-d had a rotating cast of pilots. From...

Evil Vulcans became the enemy in Star Trek: Enterprise, just as corrupt Klingons were often the enemies in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Vulcans and Klingons both made their debut on Star Trek: The Original Series, which established many elements about their species. However, with the episodic nature of 1960s television, Tos did not spend much time developing complex cultural histories for the alien species it introduced. Tos would reveal hints about the Vulcans when it pertained to a specific storyline involving Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and the Klingons served as general enemies for Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) to oppose.

Initially, Gene Roddenberry wanted Star Trek: The Next Generation to steer away from aliens like Vulcans and Klingons to differentiate itself from Star Trek: The Original Series. For example, Roddenberry did not want Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) to be a main character, but the Klingon nevertheless proved popular with fans.

Three accomplished Star Trek captains and one admiral came from Star Trek: Voyager, but Star Trek: The Next Generation has an even more impressive record. Throughout Voyager's seven seasons, Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) led the USS Voyager on its unprecedented journey home from the unexplored Delta Quadrant. She not only kept most of the crew safe throughout this journey, but also made numerous first contacts with alien species and faced off against the Borg Queen herself. Janeway went on to become one of Star Trek's most impressive admirals and three of her best officers became accomplished captains.

Modern Star Trek has yet to reveal the status of the USS Voyager's remaining crew members, but three captains and an admiral is quite impressive. Still, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Star Trek: The Next Generation's crew have Voyager's cast beat. With its premiere in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation...

As Star Trek enters 2025, there remain 4 big things fans want. 2025 marks the 59th year since Star Trek: The Original Series premiered on NBC, and the franchise on Paramount+ is transitioning into a limited number of Star Trek currently scheduled for the year. Only one series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, and the first Star Trek streaming movie, Star Trek: Section 31, are known to premiere on Paramount+ in 2025.

While Strange New Worlds remains popular, and takes Star Trek: Discovery's place as Paramount+'s new flagship Star Trek series, the franchise has ended four of the five shows that sparked a new Star Trek renaissance from 2017-2024. Star Trek: Picard ended its 3-season run in 2023, and both Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks wrapped their respective 5-season cycles on Paramount+ in 2024. In 2023, Paramount+ also abruptly canceled Star Trek: Prodigy, which was then ported over to Netflix after a passionate fan campaign.

When asked about Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in 2017, Alan Tudyk’s response raised quite a few eyebrows. The veteran actor, who was originally attached to Naughty Dog’s ambitious project before walking away in 2014, had some rather interesting reasons for not checking out the final product.

While many assumed his departure from the project left him bitter towards the studio, the truth behind his gaming preferences—or lack thereof—paints a surprisingly different picture. As it turns out, Tudyk’s aversion to Uncharted 4 might have less to do with any behind-the-scenes drama and more to do with something far more fundamental: the shape of PlayStation’s buttons.

Back in 2014, Tudyk was set to lend his considerable talents to Uncharted 4 in an undisclosed role. However,...

Controversies and unexpected twists are common in the gaming industry, but few have sparked as much debate as Amy Hennig’s sudden departure from Naughty Dog in 2014, right in the middle of Uncharted 4‘s development. As the creative force behind the successful franchise, her sudden exit was shocking, to say the least.

While rumors of her being “forced out” were quickly quashed, the real story of her exit and what followed after, sounds like something straight out of a Hollywood drama. In an interview, Nathan Drake’s voice actor, Nolan North, shed new light on how Hennig’s departure led to a major overhaul of the game and the erasure of much of her work as the studio shifted direction.

WandaVision, a popular Marvel series about Wanda Maximoff dealing with loss, was praised for its creative storytelling and deep character development. The show’s success led to two spinoffs: Agatha All Along, which recently ended with great reviews, and Vision Quest.

In October 2022, it was announced that Vision Quest was in development, with Jac Schaeffer as head writer and executive producer. By May 2023, Eileen Shim also joined as a writer.

Jac Schaeffer then shifted focus to Agatha All Along, and now Vision Quest is being led by Terry Matalas. With Matalas at the helm, this marks Marvel’s first new live-action TV series in almost two years, signaling a shift in their approach to TV production on Disney+.

Previously, Marvel mainly used a movie-style approach, with directors and creative leaders in charge. Starting in 2022, they shifted to a more traditional TV model, with longer development periods and writer-producers as showrunners.

Almost a year and a half after season three of Star Trek: Picard aired its finale, "The Last Generation," there are some actors such as Jeri Ryan, Michelle Hurd, and Todd Stashwick, and plenty of fans who are not ready to give up on the idea of continuing adventures with the legacy characters and the newer characters that made their debuts on Picard. LeVar Burton is one of those actors.

In an interview with TVLine [via Whatculture] the man behind Commodore Geordi Laforge is still onbard for the series that would follow Captain Seven of Nine [Jeri Ryan], her first officer Raffi Musiker [Michelle Hurd], and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard's [Patrick Stewart] son, Jack Crusher [Ed Speleers].

The sentiment, then and now, at least for us, the cast, and the audience, two years on, seem to be just as interested in the idea of Legacy as when Picard was just airing.LeVar Burton

By now, most...

In the "Star Trek: Picard" series finale "The Last Generation", the villain was exploded and most of the heroes were rescued. Tragically, the cantankerous-but-resolute Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) was killed on board his ship, the Titan-a, inspiring a wave of ambivalence from his first officer, Commander Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Seven was never respected by Captain Shaw; he felt her Borg implants made her an enemy and he would always deadname her, calling her the name she had before she was assimilated.

After Captain Shaw's death, however. Seven was put in command of the Titan-a on his posthumous recommendation (he left a recording). The ship was re-christened the Enterprise-g and "Picard" ended with a tease of a spinoff series starring Ryan. "Star Trek: Picard" showrunner Terry Matalas made no secrets that he was deliberately using the final episode to tease an additional "Star Trek" spinoff he intended to call "Star Trek: Legacy.

The following contains spoilers for Agatha All Along Season 1, Episode 9, "Maiden Mother Crone," now available on Disney+.

After captivating audiences in Agatha All Along, it remains to be seen whether Marvel Cinematic Universe fans will see Agatha Harkness or Billy Maximoff again. Series creator Jac Schaeffer believes it will happen, but isn't sure if fellow WandaVision spinoff, Vision Quest, is where the duo will return.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly following Agatha All Along's season finale, Schaeffer addressed the potential next appearance for Kathryn Hahn's titular protagonist and Joe Locke's Wiccan in the MCU. When asked if Vision Quest would be their next stop, Schaeffer claimed she's unsure if they'll feature, but is confident they'll pop up in another Marvel project. "I can't speak to the direct hand-off to the Vision show, but I think that people are meant to expect more of Billy and Agatha somewhere in the MCU,...
