Some viewers looking to catch the WandaVision finale early on Disney+ were met with technical difficulties.
Those impacted were greeted with a message reading, "We're sorry, but we cannot play the video you requested. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact Disney+ Support (Error Code 39)." According to Downdetector, there was a slew of user-generated reports beginning just after midnight PT and continuing for several hours, mostly impacting viewers on the west coast. Error reports began to decline after 2:00 a.m.
This is the second time Disney+ has been impacted by the demand for the Marvel Studios show. The first instance occurred on Feb. 19, when servers gave out at around 3:00 a.m. ET.
Rumors that the finale would feature a shocking guest appearance helped fuel interest in the episode, with fans hoping it would settle numerous debates as to Agatha Harkness' true intentions and the ultimate fate of Vision.
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.
