Marvel Cinematic Universe reveals new villain and AI continuity links

Recent details from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) suggest new character developments and continuity links following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. An Easter egg in Spider-Man: Brand New Day indicates the existence of Screwball, a villain known for live-streaming her crimes to gain social media fame. The character is revealed via a social media profile on a crime board in Ned Leeds’ apartment.

Additionally, the upcoming Disney+ series VisionQuest explores the nature of AI within the MCU. The series will feature a humanoid form for E.D.I.T.H., the AI assistant created by Tony Stark. Because E.D.I.T.H. remains an intact technological entity, it serves as a potential link to Peter Parker’s identity, which was erased from human memory by Doctor Strange’s spell.
