Marvel Cinematic Universe television series

WandaVision is an upcoming American television miniseries created by Jac Schaeffer for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics characters Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch and Vision. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. The series takes place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame (2019). WandaVision was produced by Marvel Studios, with Schaeffer serving as head writer and Matt Shakman directing.

Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprise their respective roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision from the film series. Teyonah Parris, Kat Dennings, Randall Park, and Kathryn Hahn also star. By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing a number of limited series for Disney+, centered on supporting characters from the MCU films such as Maximoff and Vision, with Olsen and Bettany expected to return. Schaeffer was hired in January 2019, the series was officially announced that April, and Shakman joined in August. Filming began in Atlanta, Georgia in November 2019, before production was halted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shakman began editing during this time, before production resumed in Los Angeles in September 2020 and completed that November.

WandaVision is scheduled to premiere with its first two episodes on January 15, 2021, and will run for nine episodes until March 5. It will be the first series in Phase Four of the MCU.

Premise

After the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Wanda Maximoff and Vision are living the ideal suburban life in the town of Westview, trying to conceal their powers. As they begin to enter new decades and encounter television tropes, the couple suspects that things are not as they seem.[2]

Cast and characters

Main

  • Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch:
    An Avenger who can harness magic, engage in telepathy and telekinesis, and alter reality.[3][4] Olsen said the series brings the character more in line with the comic book version, including depicting her mental illness,[5] and introducing the "Scarlet Witch" moniker that was not previously used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[6] Executive producer Kevin Feige added that the series explores the extent and origin of Maximoff's powers.[7] Olsen felt her "ownership" of Maximoff was strengthened during development of the series,[8] which allowed her to explore new parts of the character's personality such as her humor and sassiness.[9]: 30  She was thrilled that the series focuses on Maximoff rather than telling her story "through everyone else's story lines" as in the films, and was sold on joining the series when Feige mentioned specific Scarlet Witch comic storylines that inspired WandaVision.[2]
  • Paul Bettany as Vision:
    An android and former Avenger created using the artificial intelligences J.A.R.V.I.S. and Ultron as well as the Mind Stone.[3] Vision appears in the series after his death in Avengers: Infinity War (2018).[6]
  • Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau:
    The daughter of Air Force pilot Maria Rambeau who has a "toughness and an ability to be a woman" in a male-dominated world.[8] As a child, she looked up to her mother's friend and colleague Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel.[10] Co-executive producer Mary Livanos called Rambeau's inclusion in the series "a discovery" when it was first being researched and developed, that was "not quite mapped out, but [became] really enriched in the show".[9]: 28  The series shows the things Rambeau "has seen and gone through and how they've shaped her life" since her appearance in Captain Marvel (2019).[11]
  • Kathryn Hahn as Agnes:
    Maximoff and Vision's "nosy neighbor".[2] Hahn described Agnes as the neighbor "that won't get off their couch at the end of the night" and is "always in [their] business".[8] Hahn was fascinated by the "jolts of adrenaline and humanity" the MCU provided and the fact it had a "gasp of human magic".[2]
  • Randall Park as Jimmy Woo: An FBI agent who was the parole officer of Scott Lang / Ant-Man.[8]
  • Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis: A political science major turned doctor who previously was an intern for Jane Foster and befriended Thor.[12][8][13]

Development

By September 2018, Marvel Studios was developing several limited series for its parent company Disney's streaming service, Disney+, to be centered on supporting characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films who had not starred in their own films, such as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch. Actors who portrayed the characters in the films were expected to reprise their roles for the limited series, including Elizabeth Olsen as Maximoff. The series were expected to be six to eight episodes each, have a "hefty [budget] rivaling those of a major studio production", and be produced by Marvel Studios rather than Marvel Television, which produced previous MCU television series. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was believed to be taking a "hands-on role" in each limited series' development,[22] focusing on "continuity of story" with the films and "handling" the actors who would be reprising their roles from the films.[23] By the end of October, Paul Bettany's Vision was expected to play a significant role in the series, which would focus on the relationship between Maximoff and Vision.[24] In the following months, the titles Vision and the Scarlet Witch and The Vision and Scarlet Witch were both reported for the series.[25][21][26]

Jac Schaeffer was hired as head writer of the series in January 2019 after previously working as a writer on the Marvel Studios films Captain Marvel (2019) and Black Widow (2021).[21][27] Schaeffer was set to write the first episode and executive produce the series.[21] That April, Disney and Marvel officially announced the series with the title WandaVision.[3] Matt Shakman was hired to direct and serve as an executive producer on the miniseries in August,[19][28] with Feige also executive producing alongside Marvel Studios' Louis D'Esposito and Victoria Alonso.[29]: 50  Feige said the series would tell the story of Maximoff and Vision, show what Maximoff can do, explore who Vision is, and introduce the comic book name "Scarlet Witch" to the MCU "in ways that are entirely fun, entirely funny, somewhat scary, and will have repercussions for the entire future of Phase Four of the MCU".[30] He added that viewers would not need to be familiar with the MCU to understand the series, but there would be a "wealth of rewards" for those who have seen all the films and knew the plans for Phase Four.[2] The series consists of nine episodes,[31] with budgets for each episode reported to be as much as $25 million.[1]

Writing

Schaeffer received comics material and an outline of what Marvel Studios hoped to accomplish with the series, in order for her to help shape their ideas into a coherent structure.[9]: 28  Feige came up with the idea of having Maximoff and Vision be in a "strange fantasy world of suburban bliss" based on his love of sitcoms and how they can be used to escape from reality;[2] Schaeffer helped figure out what that meant for the characters.[28] Feige, Schaeffer, Shakman, and co-executive producer Mary Livanos dedicated themselves to "nail[ing] down" the series' irreverent tone.[2] Schaeffer hired eight writers for the series' writers room, including four women and several people of color, because of her belief that "stories are better the more perspectives you have".[32] Many of the writers had previous television experience, which Schaeffer used to help craft each episode within the larger narrative,[9]: 29  as one of the initial challenges for the series was figuring out how to tell the story in the long-form structure of a limited series rather than a film. Schaeffer compared the final approach to a multi-issue storyline in the comics, and felt WandaVision was "in the bizarre space of being a tentpole movie within a limited series construct".[9]: 29  She said the final series remained very close to her original pitch to Marvel Studios.[9]: 28  WandaVision is the first content from Marvel Studios to use a 30-minute comedy series format.[11] Megan McDonnell served as a staff writer on the series, before being promoted to story editor.[33]

WandaVision has been described as part "classic sitcom", part "Marvel epic" by Feige,[19] "super avant-garde and weird" by Bettany,[34] a "full-on action movie" mixed with sitcoms by fellow actor Teyonah Parris,[35] and a series that is "marrying epic superhero action with small-town sitcom silliness" by Livanos.[2] Schaeffer and Shakman called it "a love letter to the golden age of television".[2][28] The series pays tribute to many eras and genres of American television throughout the years,[36] including modern documentary-style sitcoms like Modern Family and The Office.[7] The writers and Shakman focused on the family sitcom over other types such as workplace sitcoms because the family aspect kept the series "very centered".[37] Both Schaeffer and Shakman studied past sitcoms to learn their "trappings and styles",[2] while avoiding "disappointing" tropes from the older sitcoms that would not be "acceptable" in a modern series or society.[37] They and Feige spoke with Dick Van Dyke, the star of the eponymous 1960s sitcom, to learn how that series could "be very broad with silly physical-comedy gags, and yet it never feels false". Van Dyke told them that his show was guided by what could and could not happen in real life.[2][28] Other past sitcoms that inspired the series include I Love Lucy, My Three Sons, Father Knows Best, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Bewitched, Family Ties, Friends, 30 Rock, and Parks and Recreation.[29]: 45 [11] The series also has meta references to Full House, which starred Olsen's older sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley.[29]: 45  Olsen said the sitcom setting is supported by the comic books,[34] and Feige told here that there were two specific comic series that he wanted to combine as inspirations for WandaVision.[28] Comic book writer Tom King indicated in October 2019 that his run on The Vision would be an inspiration for WandaVision.[38] With the release of the series' official trailer in September 2020, commentators noted this influence as well as references to the "House of M" comic book storyline,[39][17][40][41] The Vision and the Scarlet Witch by Bill Mantlo and Rick Leonardi,[17] and The Vision and the Scarlet Witch by Steve Englehart and Richard Howell, in which Scarlet Witch becomes pregnant by "magical means".[40] The series features fake commercials set within the episodes that have a "slightly nefarious... evil presence". Feige described these for new MCU viewers as "just a strange version of a '50s commercial or a '60s commercial" that would become clearer as the series progresses, while viewers well versed in the MCU films "might be able to start connecting what those things mean to the past".[37]

Schaeffer compared her work on the series to the film Black Widow, saying WandaVision would be "the polar opposite" to the film's style of aggressive, visceral action.[32] While exploring past MCU films, she was drawn to "the more mundane [character] moments" such as Maximoff and Vision enjoying their time in Scotland in Avengers: Infinity War (2018).[9]: 29  Schaeffer knew there was "a sort of wonder and sincerity" to the two characters, and felt putting them in a sitcom setting would result in a "calm and warm" feeling, due to their familiar family dynamic, despite the ridiculousness of the premise.[29]: 45  She found the pair appealing because they are both outsiders who "find each other. They're both different with capital Ds."[2] Livanos said the series has fun "mess[ing] with expectations" of past suburban family sitcoms, and would make the audience question where WandaVision fits into the MCU timeline. She added that Maximoff and Vision's romance helps ground the series, and said some of the episodes deviate from the family sitcom structure.[2][28] Schaeffer also noted the characters Darcy Lewis and Jimmy Woo have to solve a mystery in the series with no answers to their many questions.[13] The series explores how Maximoff grew up in an Eastern European country and relied on black-market American products such as television.[28] It takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019),[10] and will "directly set up" the Phase Four film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022),[2] in which Olsen reprises her role as Maximoff.[42]

Casting

Olsen and Bettany at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con

With the official announcement of the series in April 2019 came confirmation that Olsen and Bettany would reprise their roles of Maximoff and Vision, respectively, in the series.[3] Bettany agreed to join the project after meeting with Feige and D'Esposito, who pitched an "exciting and bonkers" idea for his character's return in the series. Olsen was originally nervous with Marvel's move to television and how it could connect with the films, but was excited when she learned of Schaeffer's involvement as well as the comic book storylines that inspired the series.[28]

Teyonah Parris was revealed to have been cast in the role of Monica Rambeau in July 2019. Rambeau was introduced to the MCU as an eleven-year-old in Captain Marvel, which is set in 1995; Akira Akbar portrayed the character in that film.[10] A month later, at Disney's biennial convention D23, Kat Dennings and Randall Park were set to reprise their respective MCU film roles as Darcy Lewis and Jimmy Woo in the series,[12] with Kathryn Hahn also cast in the role of Agnes.[12][2] Dennings previously appeared in the films Thor (2011) and Thor: The Dark World (2013),[12] and felt her character's role in the series was "somewhat of a surprise" for fans,[43] while Park joined the series following a general meeting with Marvel to discuss Woo's future in the MCU following his introduction in Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018).[6] Schaeffer felt it was fun to feature Dennings and Park in the series since both were "veteran" sitcoms actors, previously starring in 2 Broke Girls and Fresh Off the Boat, respectively.[8]

The official trailer revealed that Fred Melamed and Debra Jo Rupp were portraying Maximoff and Vision's neighbours, the Hearts.[16][17] Asif Ali was revealed to be cast in the series in October 2020,[18] as was Jolene Purdy in a recurring role.[14]

Filming

Filming began in early November 2019,[44] at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Atlanta, Georgia,[45] with Shakman directing,[19] and Jess Hall serving as cinematographer.[46][36] The series was filmed under the working title Big Red.[45] Filming was previously reported to begin on September 21 in Los Angeles, California.[47] Bettany felt the approach to the series was "very clever" given it had to make six hours of content on a budget similar to a two-and-a-half-hour MCU film. This included filming content from different episodes at the same time, which Bettany said was possible since Shakman directed all of the episodes.[36] Shakman did try to shoot things chronologically to aid the actors with the progression through various sitcom eras.[9]: 34  The actors were also shown episodes of past sitcoms before filming to help them "capture the spirit of each tone and style",[29]: 50  and had a dialect coach help with era-appropriate word pronunciations.[48]

The first episode of the series, "a big love song to The Dick Van Dyke Show",[49]: 0:39 [48] filmed for two days in black and white, and had a live studio audience present, to mimic sitcom filming.[36][2] Olsen had previously indicated that there were discussions regarding whether the series would also use a laugh track.[6] 1950s appropriate camera lenses and lighting were used in the episode, while the special effects team created wire rigs, along with camera tricks, to make props move by Maximoff's magic, as was done in series like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie.[2] The crew was also dressed in period appropriate outfits while filming.[29]: 50 [49]: 0:58  When shooting scenes in black and white, Bettany was painted blue, rather than Vision's maroon color, since the blue appeared better in the grayscale image. Both Olsen and Bettany found the experience of the premiere to be surreal and unique.[2] Other periods covered in the series also had period-specific touches, such as the 1960s episode being an homage to Betwitched that was also filming in black and white with a laugh track,[50][51] and the 1970s episode using lighting from that era. Shakman wanted to ensure the sitcom elements never felt like a parody, but were as authentic as possible.[29]: 50  After the first two episodes mainly reference a single sitcom each, further episodes have multiple sitcom homages, such one for Good Times and The Brady Bunch, "alluding to how television's popularity grew throughout the years",[48] eventually emulating "the talk-to-the-camera, shaky-camera, documentary style" of some modern sitcoms.[7]

Location shooting took place in the Atlanta metropolitan area throughout December 2019 and February 2020.[52][53] A filming wrap party for the series occurred on March 1,[54] ahead of a planned four-week hiatus,[29]: 50 [49]: 1:07  but all production halted on March 14 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[55] During the shutdown, Shakman began editing what had already been filmed and was able to "polish it up" before production resumed. This informed him of how to approach a few things in a different way,[9]: 34  but the series was not creatively altered.[11] Filming resumed in Los Angeles in September 2020 with rigorous COVID-19 safety protocols in place,[29]: 50  to complete the outside filming necessary for the series.[48] Olsen found it hard resuming production after being isolated during the shutdown, while Bettany disliked that the safety protocols meant the actors had to return to their trailers when not filming, which he felt removed much of the camaraderie between the cast and crew.[49]: 1:29-2:23  Filming took place on Blondie Street at the Warner Bros. Ranch in Burbank, California, where past sitcoms had also been filmed. Shakman felt the Blondie Street backlot had "that weird sense of fakeness" that no real-life street could replicate.[2] Post-production work on existing footage continued after filming resumed, and Shakman said working on every step of the process at once felt "schizophrenic".[9]: 34  Production on the series wrapped by mid-November,[56] with Olsen shooting back-to-back with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.[57]

Music

In January 2020, Christophe Beck announced he would compose the score for the series, after previously scoring Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp.[58] In December, Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez were announced to have written theme songs for some of the series' episodes. They were approached for the series by Shakman, who was friends with Lopez at college, and they previously worked with Beck on the music for Disney's Frozen franchise.[59][60]

Marketing

At the 2019 D23, a teaser for the series was shown that combined footage of Maximoff and Vision from previous MCU films with images from old sitcom television series The Dick Van Dyke Show and Father Knows Best.[19][6] The series was promoted as part of Expanding the Universe, a Marvel Studios special that debuted on Disney+ on November 12, 2019.[27] In December, Feige debuted the first image from the series at Comic Con Experience. Vinnie Mancuso of Collider said it was "very interesting", highlighting the "old-school black and white" coloring.[61] A commercial for the series and fellow Marvel Studios Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki was shown during Super Bowl LIV.[62] Inverse's Dais Johnston found visual references to past sitcoms in the commercial, including The Dick Van Dyke Show, Leave It to Beaver, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, Roseanne, and Full House. They thought the series would be a "must-see" for Marvel fans as well as "anyone looking for a hit of nostalgia: the era-spanning framework means anyone can relive the shows of their childhood".[63] Julia Alexander of The Verge said the footage "wasn't much" but offered "enough glimpses to tease fans".[64] Haleigh Foutch at Collider felt of all the Super Bowl commercials, Marvel's "stole the whole show". She was most excited by the "utterly strange and unpredictable looking" WandaVision footage.[65]

The series' official trailer was released on September 20, 2020, during the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards.[66] The trailer received 55.7 million online views within 24 hours, including 36.1 million on YouTube, 4.9 million on Facebook, and 10.1 million on Instagram, which was believed to be the highest number ever for a streaming service's television series trailer. WandaVision also had over 302,600 social mentions, trending on Twitter immediately after a teaser aired during the Emmy Awards ahead of the full trailer's release, and ultimately trending fourth on Twitter. The trailer was the number two trending video on YouTube.[67] Ethan Anderton from /Film said the footage in the trailer looked like "one of the most trippy Marvel projects to date". He also noted more lighthearted aspects of the trailer such as Vision wearing a Halloween costume of the character's comic book design.[68] Matt Patches at Polygon called the trailer "a hoot, full of bright colors and odd behavior", adding that it still left much of the series a mystery.[39] Comic Book Resources' Noah Dominguez said the trailer "offers quite a bit in terms of content" with "a vivid look at some of the visual tricks on display".[69] Charles Pulliam-Moore of io9 called the trailer's use of "Twilight Time" by The Platters "the most haunting" of all of its strange features, and felt the trailer's editing created "the effect of rapidly flipping through television channels in search of something good to watch".[17] The Hollywood Reporter's Richard Newby described the trailer as "jam-packed with information" and felt that it "gives fans quite a lot to look forward to, as well as some mysteries to ponder over leading up to the premiere".[40] After actors from past Spider-Man films were revealed to be appearing in the untitled Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel, Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter saw the series' official trailer "in a new light", suggesting the different versions of Maximoff and Vision that appear in the series were because of Maximoff "breaking down walls between different realities", which would not only set up Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but also the untitled Spider-Man film.[70]

In early December, six posters for the series were released daily, each depicting a decade from the 1950s through the 2000s. Pulliam-Moore noted that with each new poster, "different elements shift and morph, both reflecting the passage of time and WandaVision's plot developments".[71] The release of the posters was followed by a new trailer that debuted at Disney's Investors Day presentation. Anderton noted for /Film that the trailer featured more non-sitcom-inspired footage than previously seen, with "a lot to soak in".[72] Chaim Gartenberg at The Verge called the new trailer "mind-bending",[73] while Tom Reimann of Collider described it as "delightfully weird" and drew comparisons to the "House of M" comic book storyline.[41] Tony Sokol at Den of Geek highlighted the trailer's use of The Monkees' song "Daydream Believer", believing the title and lyrics reflected Maximoff's state well, though he noted that the music becomes "barely recognizable under increasing layers of psychedelic weirdness" in the trailer.[74] The first two episodes of the series Marvel Studios: Legends explore Maximoff and Vision using footage from their MCU film appearances. The episodes were released on January 8, 2021.[75]

Release

WandaVision is scheduled to premiere on January 15, 2021, with the release of its first two episodes on Disney+,[20] with the other seven episodes releasing each week until March 5.[31][20] Shakman said the series was able to premiere so soon after filming completed due to post-production work beginning during the series' COVID-19 production shutdown.[9]: 34  Schaeffer felt the series was "suited to [being released during] this moment in time", amidst the pandemic, because it is a "reflection of a lot of the anxiety that we're feeling, and a lot of the pathos and chaos of [2020], so it feels very right to me".[9]: 35  The series was originally announced as releasing in early 2021,[76] before being moved forward to a December 2020 release in February 2020.[77] It was then moved back to the early 2021 slot in November 2020.[78] It will be the first series in, and the start of, Phase Four of the MCU.[11]
