Disney Plus’s ‘WandaVision’ Trailer Drops on the Emmy’s

WandaVision
After some setbacks by COVID-19, Marvel are finally getting ready to enter the space of streaming television with WandaVision, a bizarre superhero/sitcom/psychological horror/action series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A new trailer for the Disney+ series has just arrived in time for the Emmy’s.

 

Set after the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision follows Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), the Scarlet Witch, finds herself living a bizarre fantasy reality based on the sitcoms of the past, and it seems as though she’s made this world manifest by using her powers. In this reality, she finds a somehow-living Vision (Paul Bettany), a fellow Avenger and her lover, alive and well, and she takes his hand in marriage as they settle down and start a family. But not all is as it appears, as things seem to be decidedly off about this new world that the Visions are living in, and as one character notes, the head of the family is a dead synthezoid walking. Take a look below:

 

 

The footage features nods to the original comic book costumes for both Scarlet Witch and the Vision, and gives us a first look at Agnes (portrayed by Kathryn Hahn; “Agnes” is speculated to be a pseudonym for the character Agatha Harkness, a witch from Marvel lore) along with Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris). Also among the cast of the series are Fred Melamed and Debra Jo Rupp, the couple seen early on in the trailer who suspect that things aren’t right in a world filmed in front of a live studio audience. In addition, a new poster (heavily inspired by the famous American Gothic painting by Grant Wood and the aesthetics of PleasanTVille) has also been released. Check it out below:

 

 

No release date has been given for WandaVision as of yet, but recent Disney+ promos promoting the streaming service’s Autumn slate have indicated that the series will start airing before the end of the year. It seems entirely possible that it may arrive in the last week of the year, after The Mandalorian Season 2 is finished airing. In any case, it seems official that this series will now arrive before The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which still has a good amount of filming left to do. WandaVision is directed by Matt Shakman and written by Jac Schaeffer.

 

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe includes the films Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man 3, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther 2, Captain Marvel 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Ant-Man 3, and reboots of the Blade, Deadpool, Fantastic Four, and X-Men franchises. Another Avengers movie is also likely, but will be a ways off. In addition to the aforementioned movies, there are eight Marvel Studios shows confirmed for the Disney+ lineup: WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If…?, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk.
