As I watch the second last Loki episode, its fitting I finally finished WandaVision from Disney+.
Based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch and Vision. The series takes place after the events of the film Avengers: Endgame. WandaVision was the first television series produced by Marvel Studios, ahead of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the above mentioned Loki.
Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprise their respective roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision from the previous films.
Also starring in the big budget series from January (concluding in early March) Debra Jo Rupp, Fred Melamed, Kathryn Hahn, Teyonah Parris, Randall Park, Kat Dennings, and Evan Peters.
The series pays homage to past sitcoms, I Love Lucy, My Three Sons, Father Knows Best, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, Family Ties, Out of This World, Malcolm in the Middle, Modern Family, and The Office.
Wanda and Vision living in a reality that takes them through different decades of television tropes. The series has received praise from critics for its sitcom settings and tropes, dark tonal shifts, and the performances of Olsen, Bettany, and Hahn. WandaVision serves as a direct set up to the film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With a release date sometime scheduled for 2022. Olsen will reprises her role as Maximoff.
I personally liked WandaVision a lot. It was a very easy watch with the nine episodes also being incredibly short. Randall Park is always fun to watch on screen too, with the production value (as usual with Disney) being extremely high.
I didn't love the last Doctor Strange film, however this may have given me some more context ahead of the next Strange film.
Elizabeth Olsen is also delicious in this role whilst having fun with some old school sitcoms while wearing some killer costumes.
WandaVision along with the latest Marvel film, Black Widow streams on Disney+ NOW! God I miss the movies.
