As Marvel Studios/Disney+'s WandaVision nears its Jan. 15 release date on Disney+, an insider scoop revealed that the sitcom-inspired television series features retro, Easter egg-filled commercials throughout its runtime for Marvel Cinematic Universe superfans.
"WandaVision is a rare show where you might want to pay close attention to the commercials that airing during it, as part of the retro sitcom premise," TV Line hinted after speaking with Marvel Studios President and Marvel Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige.
This latest insight into WandaVision's approach to a television series echoed comments previously made by Feige. He recently confirmed that throwback ads were an idea developed early on in the show's conception. "If this is the very first Marvel, MCU thing you're watching, it's just a strange version of the 50s or 60s commercial," he stated. "If you have been watching all those movies, you might be able to start connecting what all those things mean."
WandaVision will be the first official entry in Phase Four of the MCU, as well as the first Marvel Studios show to premiere on Disney+. The upcoming series will track Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch following the events of Avengers: Endgame.
Vision will also co-star alongside Wanda, though it has yet to be revealed how the android returns after meeting his demise in Avengers: Infinity War. Actor Paul Bettany, who portrays Vision, urged fans to stop thinking about how Vision returns. "Everybody, stop working so hard to figure it out," Bettany said. "Buckle in and love it, and it will take you on a ride."
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. The series premieres Jan. 15 on Disney+.
