Our first official look at the upcoming Marvel Disney+ seriesWandaVisionhas arrived via a poster that was handed out during D23 this past weekend. The series findsElizabeth OlsenandPaul Bettanyreprising their roles as Wanda/Scarlet Witch and Vision, respectively, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is interesting becausespoiler alertVision got straight-up murdered by Thanos inAvengers: Infinity War.
However, this debut poster offers a hint as to how this two-hander might work. We see Wanda and Vision hanging out in an idyllic, 1950s-style home that’s very “nuclear family,” but a shadow on the back wall hints towards a more comics-accurate iteration of Scarlet Witch. So is this all in Wanda’s head? Has she created her own reality in which Vision is alive and well and they’re living a perfect happy life? It sure seems that way.
We learned at D23 thatKat Dennings(theThormovies) andRandall Park(Ant-Man and the Wasp) will be reprising their MCU roles in the show, withTeyonah Parrisplaying the adult version of Monica Rambeau fromCaptain MarvelandKathryn Hahnplaying a “noisy neighbor” in the series. We also know from San Diego Comic-Con thatWandaVisionwill serve as an integral prequel to the movieDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, in which Olsen co-stars oppositeBenedict Cumberbatch.
Indeed, these Marvel Disney+ shows differ from Marvel’s previous TV series in that they’re being planned to tie directly into the big MCU movies. In fact, these Disney+ shows—fromLokitoHawkeye—are integral pieces of Marvel Cinematic Universe storytelling, as evidenced by the fact thatWandaVisionties directly intoDoctor Strange 2. This is made possible because Marvel Studios andKevin Feigeare overseeing the Disney+ series, not Marvel TV andJeph Loeb.
Check out theWandaVisionposter below, and stay tuned for more details in the coming months.WandaVisionwill consist of six episodes and is set to debut in Spring 2021 on Disney+.
