Disney+ dropped a huge new year’s gift on Wednesday for Marvel fans, moving “WandaVision” up one year from 2021 to 2020. An exact date for the series has not been announced.
The announcement was made via the streaming service’s Twitter account, and featured concept art of popular Avengers couple Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany). The characters were last seen together on the big screen in “Avengers: Infinity War,” when Scarlet Witch protects Vision from Thanos. She fails and Vision is killed when Thanos rips the Soul Stone from his forehead (she appears in “Endgame,” while her lover does not).
The concept art shows Vision in his human form sitting on a couch with Wanda (Scarlet Witch’s real name). The couple is pictured in an idyllic 1950s setting, suggesting there could be an alternate reality in play, possibly created by Wanda herself as a result of her grief.
Kat Dennings, Randall Park and Kathryn Hahn will also be part of the series’ cast.
“WandaVision” is just one of multiple Marvel Studios projects in development at Disney+. “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” — starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan — will also debut this year.
Series featuring characters Loki, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk are also in the works.
