A new visionary era arrives in WandaVision, the first Original Series from Marvel Studios. In the Disney + series aired on January 15, the unusual couple Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) live their ideal lives in the suburbs of the perfect city of Westview. But when the two superpowered beings find strange events crawling in their happily ever after, turning their whimsical and romantic reality inspired by classic television sitcoms, the ex-Avengers begin to suspect that everything is not what it seems. In a new television commercial launched at midnight on New Year’s Day, WandaVision inaugurates a new visionary era by launching Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
“I can say that there is no difference in production values. It looks a lot like all the Marvel films that I have been involved in,” said Bettany in the December issue of Emmy Magazine covered by WandaVision. “It is a perfect continuation.”
As the 23-film MCU expands to the small screen with WandaVision, franchise producer Kevin Feige says director Matt Shakman’s television series (War of Thrones) and showrunner Jac Schaeffer (Black Widow) brings Marvel viewers something they “can’t get in the theater”.
“Streaming is 100 percent the future and where consumers want to watch things,” said Feige Emmy Magazine. “And hopefully they will want to watch our long narrative series. An experience like WandaVision it’s something that you can’t get in a movie. You go to the movies for things you can’t see in streaming, and you go to the streaming things you can’t see in the movies. And, of course, everything in a theater ends up in streaming. “
Like Bettany, a veteran MCU since 2008 Iron Man, Schaeffer promises Marvel movie quality with WandaVision.
“With Marvel doing Disney +, it’s not the small screen at all. It’s still the big screen, but streaming,” said Schaeffer earlier Variety about the first Marvel Studios series. “And there is still the same feeling of greatness and the same scope and the same opportunities and the same resources, so it really looks like a huge movie. We say it’s like a comic book series, which is really exciting to do.”
Starring Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Teyonah Parris, Kat Dennings, Randall Park and Kathryn Hahn, WandaVision begins broadcasting exclusively on Disney + on January 15, 2021.
