Marvel Studios‘ "WandaVision" spin-off series "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.” 

Hampshire joins Paul Bettany, who is reprising his role as the now-reincarnated synthezoid character, the physical manifestation of another Stark Industries AI, Jarvis.

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.” (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 the 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 AIs 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”), Ruaridh Mollica (“Ridley”) and Faran Tahir, who is reprising the role of “Iron Man” villain Raza.

Terry Matalas (“Star Trek: Picard,” “12 Monkeys”) is the executive producer and showrunner for the Vision series, which is set to debut in 2026.

Best known for her standout role as Stevie Budd on “Schitt’s Creed,” Hampshire most recently starred on the Amazon series “The Rig.” She’ll next appear opposite Vince Vaughn and James Marsden in the action comedy “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice.”
