Some new stills from Marvel Television's VisionQuest have been revealed in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, and they include our first proper look at Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H.
The AI program last appeared in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and was contained within the glasses that Tony Stark left to Peter Parker after his death. When Mysterio got his hands on them, he unleashed chaos on London, framing the web-slinger before revealing his identity to the world.
We also see Paul Bettany's White Vision pre-VFX (which is always an interesting sight), and the former Avenger in his human avatar, joined by E.D.I.T.H., F.R.I.D.A.Y., Dum-E, and U.
The conclusion to the WandaVision trilogy will be released right before Avengers: Doomsday, meaning there will likely be some connective tissue between the projects. If Vision reunites with both Tommy and Billy, then they may well set off together to find the Scarlet Witch.
"I think ultimately, what Vision is going through are things that we all go through, and deal with," VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas recently told the magazine. "Trauma, dealing with relationships, dealing with how we react to experiencing love or not experiencing that. It’s strange that a show about an AI is the most human of them all."
In VisionQuest, Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponise him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron.
His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision's son, reincarnated. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron's influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive.
