Actress Orla Brady (Star Trek: Picard, Into the Badlands) will voice a new version of Tony Stark’s artificial assistant F.R.I.D.A.Y. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming series Vision Quest, as first reported by Fiction Horizon’s Robert Milakovic. Brady will inherit the role from fellow Irishwoman Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin, F1), who had hitherto voiced the AI since she was first created in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

F.R.I.D.A.Y. is herself a replacement for J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark’s original virtual assistant who became fully corporeal when Bruce Banner uploaded his consciousness into an android body known as the Vision (also during the events of Ultron). Since the original Vision perished in the climax of Avengers: Infinity War — not counting the time he was briefly reanimated by his romantic partner Wanda Maximoff in 2021’s WandaVision — Vision Quest will instead focus on White Vision, an imperfect clone of the original version created by the U.S. government. Lacking the memories of his Avengers counterpart, the WandaVision finale saw the android fly off in search of an individual purpose.

Though the exact role F.R.I.D.A.Y. will play in Vision’s existential journey is unknown, it’s easy to imagine how a conversation with his virtual successor could help this amnesiac version of the android understand his own history. During the same Star Trek panel showrunner Terry Matalas (12 Monkeys, Star Trek: Picard) utilized to announce F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s recasting, he also announced to Fiction Horizon that Todd Stashwick (Gotham, Kim Possible) will portray the mercenary figure of Paladin in Vision Quest. Both Brady and Stashwick have previously worked with Matalas on Star Trek: Picard.

Vision Quest is currently in post-production and slated to release on Disney+ sometime in 2026. Per Fiction Horizon’s report, Matalas had nothing but good things to say about the filming process, calling the opportunity to work with Marvel “a wonderfully collaborative experience.”
