Wanda Maximoff has turned the town of Westview into her own personal paradise in WandaVision, and a new promotional video for the series shows she, and Vision, are going to do what it takes to keep it that way.
A one-minute featurette posted by Marvel Entertainment shows past and future clips from the series interspersed with comments from the cast and crew. The promo plays up the notion that there is perhaps even more to Westview than anyone has seen.
"It was really so fun getting to play all these different decades throughout WandaVision," says Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda on the show.
"And then of course, everything kind of breaks down and becomes an MCU version of the real world," adds Paul Bettany, who plays Vision.
The series began as a seeming homage to classic American TV situation comedies like The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy. As the show progressed, however, it revealed that the evolving sitcom façade was a form of reality manipulation created by Wanda herself, and that the town and its residents are under Wanda's control. Wanda, though, isn't necessarily ready to admit that to herself.
"I can't believe how it just keeps unraveling and unfolding in ways that I am still shocked and thrilled by," says Kathryn Hahn, who plays Wanda and Vision's neighbor Agnes. In the most recent episode "On a Very Special Episode...," Agnes seems to indirectly acknowledge Wanda's control over Westview.
"Everyday it's something different," says director Matt Shakman. "It's high-tech Marvel with helicopters flying around, and the next day it's a perfect recreation of a '50s sitcom. Some days it's both."
In the latest episode, Acting Director of S.W.O.R.D. Tyler Hayward, played by Josh Stamberg, and Agent Monica Rambeau, played by Teyonah Parris, confront Wanda outside the protective "Hex" she's erected surrounding the town. Wanda issues a stern warning: to be left alone.
That likely won't happen, as near the end of the video, a clip from an upcoming episode has Wanda proclaiming, "This is our home."
"Then let's fight for it," responds Vision.
"I think it's gonna be really satisfying for people when they realize what is at the heart of this show," Bettany concludes.
Written by Jac Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Kathryn Hahn as Agnes. New episodes air Fridays on Disney+.
