With four episodes in and ushering in "Phase 4" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the first TV series streaming on Disney+, "WandaVision" has certainly been all kinds of "weird"... Until episode 4 finally pulled some of the curtain to reveal a few answers to the mysteries at play.
Now as the series has reached its mid-season, here's a new poster and trailer released by Marvel Studios and Disney. Beware of course for SPOILERS if you're not up to date.
Set to premiere on Disney+ in less than two weeks, Marvel Studios and Disney have confirmed that WandaVision, the first Marvel Cinematic Universe TV Series that sets up Phase 4, is officially nine episodes long. That makes it an episode longer than a season of The Mandalorian - which had two sets of eight episodes on its first two seasons. The show will also run all the way to March, by which time the next series, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, will premiere around that same month as well.
Check out the new TV Spot released for the show - which is called "Reality".
Looks like fans are going to get a lot of answers about the origins of Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch's powers when "WandaVision" premieres on Disney + on January next year, as Marvel Studios head and MCU architect Kevin Feige has teased in a feature by Empire that Elizabeth Olsen's character will be fleshed out as her romance with Paul Bettany's Vision continues in a seemingly fantasy alternate reality that more or less was created by her.
“If you look at the Infinity Saga, I don’t think any single person has gone through more pain and trauma than Wanda Maximoff. And no character seems to be as powerful as Wanda Maximoff. And no character has a power-set that is as ill-defined and unexplored as Wanda Maximoff,” MCU boss Kevin Feige tells Empire. “So it seemed exploring that would be worthwhile post-Endgame. Who else is aware of that power? Where did it come from? Did the Mind Stone unlock it?”
As the year prepares to hit its last month in a couple of weeks and not a single Marvel Studios theatrical release made due to the ongoing global pandemic postponing release dates, all eyes turn to the hopeful release of "WandaVision" - the Scarlet Witch/ Wanda Maximoff and Vision TV Series on Disney + that will reunite Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as the ill-fated Avengers couple who find themselves in a different reality that seems too perfect to be true.
Entertainment Weekly has spotlighted the upcoming series in their upcoming new issue as seen in the cover above, and talk in detail about what to expect from the six hour series when it premieres on Disney +. You can read about that in this link to their page.
WandaVision is tentatively slated to be released before 2020 ends, and will set up events leading to the Doctor Strange sequel - Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
