Elizabeth Olsen also confirmed filming on the Doctor Strange sequel has been delayed.
WandaVision, the first TV series in this new Phase Four era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sees Wanda Maximoff (Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) living out their suburban dreams, but something is off. Their reality seems like it’s straight out of a television show — multiple shows, in fact — and it’s constantly shifting.
According to Olsen, the episodes of WandaVision start in the style of 1950s television like The Dick Van Dyke Show and progress to each decade of sitcoms. The clip shared on Kimmel shows off the ’60s era, a la Bewitched, when Wanda responds to a noise in the night. “We tried to film each episode as authentically as we could to each decade,” Olsen said, noting how the show filmed in front of a live studio audience for the earlier episodes and used “practical special effects on strings.”
WandaVision will lead directly into the events of the movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Olsen is currently in London for production on the film, but she confirmed to Kimmel that filming had to take a hiatus due to the most recent lockdown in the U.K. “Since the hospitals are overwhelmed here we can’t go back to work until that calms down,” the actress said. “So, just safely hanging out here and really grateful that I get to be working.”
WandaVision premieres on Disney+ this Jan. 15.

SUPERHERO HYPE: Disney has dropped yet another new promo for the upcoming WandaVision series. There are only a couple of weeks before its official debut on Disney+, and the House of the Mouse is seriously amping up the marketing. The latest promo features some fresh footage of the two lovebirds who just moved to Westview. It opens with Scarlet Witch stating that she wants to fit it in their new home. The subsequent scenes show a voice coming out of the radio calling Wanda’s name insistently. She looks a bit shaken up by that metallic sound. The video then presents Wanda through the ages before Vision takes the floor to welcome home his love. The spot wraps up with what looks like many militaries flocking, presumably, to Westview.
In the upcoming miniseries, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are reprising their roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision. Teyonah Parris will co-star as Monica Rambeau, who made her MCU debut as a young girl in 2019’s Captain Marvel. Kat Dennings and Randall Park are also reprising their roles as Darcy Lewis and Jimmy Woo, respectively. Finally, Kathryn Hahn has a supporting role as Agnes, the nosey neighbor of Wanda and Vision. She doesn’t appear to have an obvious comic book counterpart, and it will be interesting to know the how and why of her existence.
WandaVision will debut on Disney+ on Jan. 15.

EMMY – When you wish upon a luxurious star, you just might land at Club 33 in Disneyland.
Tucked away above New Orleans Square and decorated with historic flourishes (the harpsichord at reception belonged to Walt Disney’s wife, Lillian), it’s a pricey, ultra-exclusive club for members and VIPS. On August 25, 2019, Marvel Studios president and chief creative officer Kevin Feige, joined by producer-director Matt Shakman, enjoyed lunch and swapped stories there with Dick Van Dyke and his wife, Arlene.
“It was unbelievable!” Feige recalls. “You sit down and don’t know what to say because you’re so starstruck.” Shakman is more succinct: “It was the best afternoon of my life.”
They weren’t there just to catch up with a 93-year-old legend. They were about to start production on an innovative Disney+ series called WandaVision — which Shakman will only describe as a “love letter to television” — and they wanted to hear about the star’s experiences on his groundbreaking 1960s sitcom, The Dick Van Dyke Show.
Van Dyke waxed about his fellow actor and the show creator, Carl Reiner, who mined real-life anecdotes for the episodes, as well as his own delight at filming in front of live studio audiences.
In turn, Feige talked about the new series he was executive-producing with Shakman, among others. “I tried to explain how there was this robot and a witch and how she had to kill him because Thanos reversed time,” he says with a laugh. “I’m thinking, ‘He doesn’t need to hear this!'”
With the premiere of WandaVision on January 15, it will all click. Set after the events of the 2019 blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, the weekly series — which is patterned on prototypical sitcoms of various eras — explores the adventures of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and her love, an android named Vision (Paul Bettany).
Yes, Vision died when the Mind Stone was ripped from his forehead in the 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War, and he is still dead. But rules can be malleable when one of the two main characters is also known as Scarlet Witch.
“What I love about Wanda in the comic books, and what drew me to her originally,” Olsen says, “is what we get to explore in a beautiful way.” To that end, even a witch couldn’t have manipulated the series’ timing any better.
When Disney+ launched in November 2019, it did so with the promise that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) would soon unveil new series based on some of its lower-profile action heroes. At last, fans of the gazillion-grossing, 23-movie Infinity Saga would enjoy extensive and exclusive insights into the likes of Falcon, the Winter Soldier, Wanda, Vision, Loki and others, all in episodic installments.

DEADLINE – Just more than a month before its Disney+ debut, Marvel’s WandaVision dropped a new trailer at Disney Investor Day presentation Thursday – and it really shakes things up.
Starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as Avengers vets Wanda Maximoff and Vision, the latest look at the January 15-premiering series had a lot of genres and a lot of shifting timelines.
Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the deceptively domestic WandaVision co-stars Kat Dennings, Teyonah Parris, Randall Park and Kathryn Hahn. Matt Shakman directs and Jac Schaeffer is the head writer on the MCU show.

Added Off the Menu founder Lawrence Longo: “We know that food can act as a way to connect and educate people. We’re thrilled to be able to create an event like America’s Sweetest that will allow us to raise money for EBMRF while putting together a ‘care package’ that any food lover and especially those with a sweet tooth will obsess over.”
Imagined by Off The Menu, the initiative follows its Burger Showdown and Wing Showdown competitions held over the summer. As part of America’s Sweetest, Off the Menu will host videos from each celebrity participant on its website and platform. More information about the initiative can be found here
