WandaVision
When: January 15
Where: Disney+ Hotstar
Marvel’s first Disney+ series — it cost as much as an MCU movie with a reported $150 million budget — is unlike anything it has ever done. It functions as a sitcom that switches between decades (black-and-white 50s TV or The Office-style mockumentary), but it’s also set after the events of Avengers: Endgame somehow. WandaVision also becomes the first entry in MCU’s Phase Four.
As the name reveals, it follows the characters of Wanda Maximoff/ Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), lovers who were torn apart forever by the events of Avengers: Infinity War. A grown-up Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) from Captain Marvel, research assistant Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) from Thor: Dark World, and FBI agent Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) from Ant-Man and the Wasp are also involved. Kathryn Hahn, Jolene Purdy, Fred Melamed, Debra Jo Rupp, and Asif Ali have roles too.
A total of six episodes that will air weekly. WandaVision’s events will directly tie into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, slated for March 2022 in cinemas.
