List of episodes

"Breaking the Fourth Wall" is the seventh episode of the American television miniseries WandaVision, based on the Marvel Comics characters Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch and Vision. It follows the couple inside the town of Westview as their idyllic suburban life begins to unravel. The episode is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. It was written by Cameron Squires and directed by Matt Shakman.

Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprise their respective roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision from the film series, starring alongside Teyonah Parris, Evan Peters, Randall Park, Debra Jo Rupp, Kat Dennings, and Kathryn Hahn. Shakman joined the series in August 2019. The episode pays homage to sitcoms of the mid-to-late 2000s such as Modern Family. Filming took place in the Atlanta metropolitan area, including at Pinewood Atlanta Studios, and in Los Angeles.

"Breaking the Fourth Wall" was released on Disney+ on February 19, 2021. Critics noted Olsen's performance, Hahn's character reveal, and the ending theme song "Agatha All Along" as highlights of the episode.

Plot

In a late 2000s setting, Wanda Maximoff decides to have a day to herself. Agnes agrees to babysit Billy and Tommy and takes them to her house. Vision wakes up and finds the S.W.O.R.D. agents inside the boundary are now members of a circus. He finds Darcy Lewis and releases her from the spell. After leaving the circus, Darcy tells Vision about his death and the events that led to the current situation. Meanwhile, Wanda sees various parts of her house constantly changing and is unable to control them. Vision and Darcy's journey back to his house is continuously interrupted at a junction point, leading Vision to assume that Wanda is preventing him from coming home. However, Vision realizes that his wife needs him and flies the rest of the way home alone, leaving Darcy behind.

Outside of Westview, Monica Rambeau and Jimmy Woo meet with loyal S.W.O.R.D. personnel and obtain a vehicle that should be able to cross the barrier. The mission is unsuccessful, as half of the vehicle transforms into an old van. Monica decides to enter herself, since she has already passed through the boundary twice. She passes through the static wall and emerges with her eyes glowing and gained powers. She goes to warn Wanda about S.W.O.R.D. director Tyler Hayward but Wanda does not believe her. Wanda attacks her, but Monica is able to land firmly due to her newfound powers. Their confrontation is interrupted by Agnes who asks Monica to leave and takes Wanda into her house.

Agnes tells Wanda that the twins are in the basement but when Wanda goes to look for them, she finds a lair with a mysterious book in the center. Trapping Wanda in the lair, Agnes reveals herself as Agatha Harkness, a powerful sorceress who has been controlling part of the events the whole time. She gives Wanda a vision revealing she killed Sparky and sent "Pietro Maximoff" to Wanda, while shifting the WandaVision program to a new show Agatha All Along.

In a mid-credits scene, Monica investigates Agatha's house and discovers her lair in the basement, only to be caught by "Pietro".

A commercial during the WandaVision program advertises Nexus anti-depression drugs.

Production

Development

By October 2018, Marvel Studios was developing a limited series starring Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany's Vision from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films.[1][2] In August 2019, Matt Shakman was hired to direct the miniseries.[3][4] Shakman and head writer Jac Schaeffer executive produce alongside Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Victoria Alonso.[5][3][6]: 50  Feige described the series as part "classic sitcom", part "Marvel epic",[7] paying tribute to many eras of American sitcoms.[8] The seventh episode, titled "Breaking the Fourth Wall",[9] was written by Cameron Squires,[10] with the scenes set in the sitcom reality paying homage to the mid-to-late 2000s.[9]

Writing

The episode pays homage to the sitcom Modern Family, with the sitcom opening sequence visually in the style of the opening from Happy Endings.[11] Teyonah Parris called Monica Rambeau's journey into the Hex her "moment to grieve and to just scream and let it out" and the "physical manifestation of Monica moving through her grief", with Parris trying to image the "heaviness of [her] guilt" and ultimately wanting to let her mother, Maria Rambeau, know she would move forward.[12] "Breaking the Fourth Wall" also features a mid-credits scene, the first for the series.[13] Shakman said the mid-credits scene was included started with this episode because "we've busted out of the television construct... so we can now introduce the Marvel language of the teaser scene... and that it happened to be when that device was invented made sense for how we were evolving the storytelling as well.[14]

The series features fake commercials that Feige said would show "part of the truths of the show beginning to leak out",[15] with "Breaking the Fourth Wall" including a commercial that advertises Nexus anti-depression drugs with the slogan "Because the world doesn't revolve around you. Or does it?".[16] Matt Purslow of IGN felt this commercial was meant to represent Wanda moving into depression from her angry grief stage,[17] while Entertainment Weekly's Christian Holub likened the drug name "Nexus" to Marvel Comics' Nexus of All Realities, which is a portal that allows travel between dimensions.[11] Phil Owen at TheWrap acknowledged the potential Nexus of All Realities connection, but felt it was more likely that the drug was a reference to Wanda's comic book status as a "Nexus Being", a living version of the Nexus of All Realities who can rewrite reality and is the focal point of the universe. He noted that the series depicts Wanda as much more powerful than in the films, bringing her closer to the comic book version.[18]

Casting

The episode stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, Paul Bettany as Vision, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, Evan Peters as "Pietro Maximoff", Randall Park as Jimmy Woo, Debra Jo Rupp as Mrs. Hart, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis / the Escape Artist, and Kathryn Hahn as "Agnes" / Agatha Harkness.[19][20]: 31:21–31:39  Also appearing in the episode are Julian Hilliard and Jett Klyne as Billy and Tommy, respectively, Wanda and Vision's sons, Josh Stamberg as S.W.O.R.D. Director Tyler Hayward,[19] Emma Caulfield Ford as Dottie Jones, Jolene Purdy as Beverly, David Payton as Herb, David Lengel as Phil Jones, Asif Ali as Norm, Alan Heckner as S.W.O.R.D. Agent Monti / the Strongman, Rachael Thompson as Major Goodner, Selena Anduze as S.W.O.R.D. Agent Rodriguez, and Amos Glick as the delivery man Dennis. Victoria Blade, Ithamar Enriquez, Wesley Kimmel, and Sydney Thomas appear during the fake commercial.[20]: 32:49  Archival audio of a young Monica Rambeau, her mother Maria Rambeau, Carol Danvers, and Nick Fury from the film Captain Marvel (2019) is heard in the episode when Monica attempts to enter the Hex.[21][22]

Filming and visual effects

Soundstage filming occurred at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Atlanta, Georgia,[23] with Shakman directing,[3] and Jess Hall serving as cinematographer.[8] Filming also took place in the Atlanta metropolitan area,[24][25] with backlot and outdoor filming occurring in Los Angeles when the series resumed production after being on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]: 50 [26] Hall began using LED lighting with the episode, explaining that was "the correct time line for when this equipment entered the filmmaking vocabulary".[27]: 6  The episode was filmed to emulate "the talk-to-the-camera, shaky-camera, documentary style" of modern mockumentary-style sitcoms.[28] The various moments in the Agatha All Along montage were shot during the filming of past episodes in order for the crew to utilize the sets for each time period. Hall said there was a "shift" required for the crew to film these moments since they were often single shots requiring a different type of camera setup or move from the rest of those episodes, such as using a crane,[29] while Shakman called these moments more "cinematic" than the rest of the episode.[30] Visual effects for the episode were created by SSVFX, Lola VFX, Rodeo FX, Industrial Light & Magic, Zoic Studios, Framestore, Cantina Creative, The Yard VFX, RISE, capital T, and Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies.[20]: 34:02–34:19 [31]

Music

"W-V 2000", the sitcom theme written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and performed by The Math Club,[32][33] was an instrumental track similar in style to the theme from The Office.[11] This followed the trend of sitcoms starting in the 2000s that did not feature lyrics with their opening themes, with Anderson-Lopez noting the lyrics would have followed the song's feeling of things "speeding up and out of control".[32]

"Agatha All Along",[a] also written by Anderson-Lopez and Lopez, was similar to the theme song for The Munsters and "The Addams Family Theme" from The Addams Family. The couple was drawn to the past monster-centric series' music in order to give Agatha's theme song a "witchy, ghoulish feeling" with "a little bit of an Oompa-Loompa tenor feel to it too". Hahn is the lead singer on the theme, with Lopez singing backup along with the other male backup singers from previous theme songs.[32] The song went viral after the release of the episode.[34]

A soundtrack for the episode was released digitally by Marvel Music and Hollywood Records on February 23, 2021, featuring composer Christophe Beck's score. The first two tracks are the episode's theme songs by Anderson-Lopez and Lopez.[33] The soundtrack was originally scheduled to be released on February 26, with The Verge speculating the release was moved up due to the popularity of "Agatha All Along".[35] Upon release, "Agatha All Along" peaked at number one on iTunes' Soundtrack chart, and, by February 24, reached fifth on iTunes' Top 100 singles chart.[36] It also debuted on Billboard's Digital Songs Sales chart at 36.[37]

Marketing

In early December 2020, six posters for the series were released daily, each depicting a decade from the 1950s through the 2000s.[38] Charles Pulliam-Moore from io9 called this poster "fitting" to be the final one released since it resembles modern day. He felt what was "especially eyebrow-raising here is the tiny bit of green light reflecting in Wanda's eyes".[39] After the episode's release, Marvel announced merchandise inspired by the episode as part of its weekly "Marvel Must Haves" promotion for each episode of the series, focused on Monica Rambeau and S.W.O.R.D., including apparel, accessories, and a Funko Pop of Monica.[40] Additional merchandise was later announced for the "Marvel Must Haves" promotion focused on Agatha All Along, including apparel, houseware, and accessories.[41]

Release

"Breaking the Fourth Wall" was released on Disney+ on February 19, 2021. Upon the episode's release at midnight PST, Disney+ experienced technical difficulties in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom for approximately 10 minutes, given the influx of viewers attempting to watch the episode right when it was released.[42]

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 83% approval rating with an average score of 7.67/10 based on 18 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "'Breaking the Fourth Wall' puts Wanda, Vision, and the gang through the emotional wringer, delivering massive amounts of exposition in a mad dash to the season finish line."[43]

Rosie Knight from Den of Geek gave the episode 5 out of 5 stars. Knight enjoyed the moments between Dennings and Bettany, with Dennings "bringing a blunt humor" and Bettany "a great straight man". She also praised Parris as the hero of WandaVision for "her performance filled with nuance, heart, and complexity". Speaking to Hahn's performance, Knight said she "delights in the reveal" that Agnes is Agatha Harkness, "playing the villain with aplomb".[13] Matt Purslow at IGN said it was easy to initially view the episode, based on the first half, as the series' first filler episode, but that was "all the calm before the storm, as episode seven drops the story's biggest twist just before the credits roll, and does so in style". Speaking to the reveal of Agnes as Agatha Harkness, Purslow felt the musical sequence was "a great display of Kathryn Hahn's larger-than-life acting talents, with some great evil facial expressions and the perfect witch cackle" and was hopeful Hahn would be prominently featured in the final two episodes of the series calling it "a shame we've had to wait quite this long to put her in the spotlight". Additionally, he called the reveal of Monica's contact being military personnel "particularly unspecial", and the episode overall being about "moving all the pieces into the correct position for the finale, rather than doing anything massive with them"; Purslow gave the episode a 7 out of 10.[17]

The A.V. Club's Stephen Robinson praised Hahn's "masterful performance" that avoided "the trap where the friend turned secret villain feels like two separate characters". Robinson felt Monica walking through the Hex was "a triumphant moment in an otherwise downbeat episode" and called the scenes with Vision and Darcy "a treat", hoping this new version of Vision developed through the series would survive. He gave the episode a "B".[19] Chancellor Agard of Entertainment Weekly said the episode "both defied and lived up to expectations" and was "in awe" with Monica pushing through the Hex, calling it "a trippy, dazzling, and empowering sequence". Agard enjoyed how Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez were able to "flex their genius musical muscles in different ways" with both the sitcom theme song and Agatha's musical number, and praised Hahn's performance in the number and throughout the episode.[11]

Abraham Riesman of Vulture gave the episode 3 out of 5 stars stating "Breaking the Fourth Wall" was "better than the first five [episodes], but not quite as good as the sixth" adding "The action was exciting, for the most part, the weirdness and creepiness factors were at acceptable levels, the sitcom nods were clever, and there were not one, but two fake theme songs". Riesman did feel that the series was not presenting anything "boldly original", and pointed out how the Agatha Harkness reveal would have different affects on viewers who did and did not have familiarity with the comic books, especially since it had been theorized since before the show premiered. He ultimately called the revelation "largely flat as a twist".[16] Reviewing the episode for Rolling Stone, Alan Sepinwall felt if the series would be in "pure story mode" for the final two episode, he would miss the performances of Olsen, Bettany, and Hahn in the various sitcoms, but felt it "may be for the best that the series only has to focus on its larger plot the rest of the way, rather than trying to juggle so many ideas at once". Speaking to this, Sepinwall said the theme-song for the show Agatha All Along was "just hilariously right" for the amount of sitcom influences.[9]

Elizabeth Olsen's performance in the episode, which was likened to Julie Bowen's Claire Dunphy from Modern Family, received widespread praise,[17][9][11][13][19] though Purslow felt at times it was too much of a homage, with the portrayal becoming too uncharacteristic for Wanda.[17] Robinson disagreed, feeling in all instances of the series where Olsen was emulating past comedy actresses, deep down the character was still always Wanda.[19] Bowen herself praised the episode, saying seeing WandaVision reference Modern Family and considering that series a "classic" left her "speechless".[44]
