The hair and makeup heads break down how they brought the sitcom world of Wanda and Vision to life.
Rewatching old episodes of these classics was part of the preparation process, and Olsen told ELLE.com she did this to “understand the tones of each era.” The creative teams also needed a firm grasp of specific cultural moments (many of which were dictated by the producers and directors) and drew on personal experiences for additional research. “I used to watch a lot of these shows with my mom after school so I felt like I knew them; they were a comfort to me,” WandaVision makeup department head Tricia Sawyer tells ELLE.com. The pleasure derived from a family comedy is akin to a warm hug, which helps explain Wanda’s choice of genre for this fantasy world.
Talking from London (where they are currently shooting another Marvel project), Sawyer and hair department head Karen Bartek recount WandaVision’s fast-paced production and their role “overseeing the look of all of the actors and keeping it in the continuity of the Marvel Universe,” says Sawyer. Neither are strangers to the superhero world or Wanda Maximoff, having both worked on Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame (Bartek was also a hairstylist on Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel). However, WandaVision is unlike any previous MCU project and worked on a shooting schedule that felt “like a tiny movie shot in one day,” Bartek adds. The pair discuss techniques used for different decades, working with Elizabeth Olsen, and spill behind-the-scenes secrets—but their lips are sealed about the final two episodes.
WE GOT THIS COVERED: Within the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wanda Maximoff has had a tough time of things, to put it lightly. Orphaned as a child and experimented on by HYDRA, she then lost her brother in the Battle of Sokovia, fell in love with a synthezoid before watching him die twice, and now finds herself being manipulated by a witch in the fictional reality she created for herself to escape all of this trauma.
That’s not exactly the stuff of sunshine and rainbows, with WandaVision showing just how far she’s come in terms of mastering her abilities. Kevin Feige didn’t publicly name her as the most powerful superhero in the entire franchise for no reason, and when Disney Plus’ smash hit series concludes in a couple of weeks, it won’t be long until we see Scarlet Witch again.
Elizabeth Olsen takes second billing behind the title hero in Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and we should have a much better indication of how she factors into the story of the Sorcerer Supreme’s sequel once WandaVision draws to a close. In fact, insider Daniel Richtman claims that Scarlet Witch will become the main focus on the entirety of Phase Four moving forward, but the tipster doesn’t offer any further details.
Of course, you could quite easily have reached that conclusion by yourself having watched WandaVision, seeing as she’s already inadvertently given Monica Rambeau superpowers that will directly inform Captain Marvel 2, while the manipulation of reality also plays a major part in Spider-Man 3, and it can’t be ruled out she’ll have some sort of role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, either, given the weird stuff we’ve seen happen in the Quantum Realm before. And that’s just the tip of the Phase Four iceberg.

WandaVision Episode 7 Easter Eggs
- The episode opens the morning after Wanda has expanded the border of the Hex, finding the Avenger hiding from the world under her comforter. The comforter in question has a hexagon pattern, which is both a nod to the overall theme of the show as well as a metaphor for how Wanda is literally hiding away under a hex.
- Billy and Tommy run into the room to reveal that their video game console has been messing up. Everything in the house is glitching, trying to transform back to earlier versions of themselves.
- Billy also tells his mother that his head hurts and things are “noisy.” Since the twin inherited his mother’s ability to read minds, it seems he’s able to hear the thoughts of everyone in the bubble (and near it on the outside, since he was able to hear his father when he was dying). It’s a sign that Billy’s powers are growing, which means we could see the little boy reach his Wiccan potential before the end of the season.
- Wanda wanders into the kitchen as the news drones on in the background. The news station is called W.N.D.A. or Wanda. The newscaster makes pointed comments, noting that there’s “not a thing weighing heavily on your conscience,” and that they “hope your little ghosts arrived home safe last night. It’s always such a treat to see those creepy kiddos out and about once a year.” The comments refer to Wanda’s building guilt at her actions in the previous episode and the rare appearance of children during the Halloween episode.
- As Wanda makes her breakfast of “Sugar Snaps,” a nod to the big Snap of the universe, her milk carton reverts from its modern design to the old school glass bottle and back. The carton has a missing person’s ad on the back with a picture of a little boy on the back. This could be a reference to the oft-mentioned absence of children of Westview, and what could have happened to them.
- Wanda and the twins “break the fourth wall” frequently to talk to the camera in the same vein as Modern Family.
DEADLINE: Despite the success of WandaVision on Disney+, Marvel Boss Kevin Feige said today at his first TCA that some series will get second or third seasons, while others will hand off to a feature film, and in the case of a WandaVision season 2, Feige has no plans yet. Instead Feige said that season 1 of WandaVision will hand off straight to the upcoming MCU feature sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
“I’ve been at Marvel too long to say a definite ‘No’ to anything as far as a second season of WandaVision,” said Feige.
“Lizzie Olsen will go from WandaVision to the Doctor Strange film,” said the Marvel Boss.
Feige said that Marvel is mapping out their Disney+ series like they’ve mapped out their MCU.
“The fun of the MCU is obviously all the crossover we can do between series, between films. So it will vary based on the story. Sometimes it will go into a season 2, sometimes it will go into a feature and back into a series,” said Feige.
“Sometimes, and yet to be announced, we’re thinking of and planning second seasons for some of the upcoming series,” he added.
Ms. Marvel, which is expected to debut on Disney+ later this year, will hand-off to the Captain Marvel 2 movie, Feige also emphasized today.
“The goal is to expand the fans of Marvel,” he said.
