Wandavision
What we know: Very little. We know this takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and that it will see Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprise their roles as Wanda ‘Scarlet Witch’ Maximoff, and Vision. After that — especially given Wanda’s reality-bending powers — it’s anyone’s guess.
What we predict: Wanda and Vision’s romantic courtship was horrifically cut short when Thanos plucked the Mind Stone from Vision’s forehead in Avengers: Infinity War, and while Wanda returned to help defeat the Mad Titan in Endgame, her lover remains dead. The most pertinent questions Wandavision will have to answer, then, is how Vision is coming back and what state he’ll be in when he does.
The most logical explanation would be that Wakandan super-genius Shuri saved enough of Vision’s mind on her computers that all the humanoid requires is a bit of superglue and duct tape. But there are other avenues the show could explore: particularly Scarlet Witch creating her own version of reality, a set-up that has precedence in the comics. On that front, Scarlet Witch’s abilities have never been well-defined in the MCU and Wandavision would be smart to rectify that, especially given that the series will lead into Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. Being able to differentiate between Strange and Wanda’s magic could pay dividends in the long run.
That’s not the only link to an MCU film; Teyonah Parris will play a grown-up version of Monica Rambeau, first played by Akira Akbar in Captain Marvel. No link has been established between these characters in any prior film, but if Rambeau has already acquired her powers — in the comics she can transform into any form of energy — she could be a major player in MCU’S future.
Most intriguingly, it’s all but confirmed that this series will have a 1950s aspect to it which suggests that it will be influenced by Tom King’s 2015 The Vision comics. That series had Vision adopting a suburban lifestyle as the head of an android family, and bringing elements of that to the screen could make for compelling viewing.
That’s all to say that Wandavision will, as Olsen puts it, “get weird, deep, and have lots of surprises. We’re finally going to understand Wanda Maximoff.” Given Wanda’s well-known ties to the mutants the MCU just acquired in addition to her presence in the Doctor Strange sequel, this added focus might be perfectly timed.
