WandaVision Key Art Finds Wanda, Vision Going Disturbingly Comic Book

Another day, another piece of teaser key art for Disney+ and Marvel Studios' Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen-starring WandaVision. Up until now, each one has focused on a different sitcom decade that Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet With (Olsen) and the Vision (Bettany) find themselves in as they attempt to carve out whatever a "normal life" is. This one's hitting us a bit differently, though. Aside from the continuing theme of flowers/plants and bird/eggs (vibing the "life/growth" theme), the following image shows our couple in Halloween costume versions of their old-school comic book counterparts- feeding into the overall concept being sold that the Vision is looking to get to the bottom of a life that's so real that it's not real. Almost as if they're wearing a mask that hides them from the reality of how things really are…?

The one eerie thing all of them have in common? Whatever it's taking for the duo to live their "happily ever after," it's ripping apart across the multiverse- a problem that only a "master of the mystic arts" could fix? Here's a look back at the previous four teasers, which seem to be leading to the release of a more detailed, official trailer- possibly Wednesday but we're thinking Thursday because that's also the same day as the big Disney conference call. See what answers you can divine before this week's big reveal of… something:

With the series set to premiere on January 15, 2021, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige offered some perspectives on what viewers can expect from the series. If there's one thing Feige wanted to make clear during his interview with Empire Magazine, it's that WandaVision will give Olsen's Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch a chance to tell her story as events unfold- events that will have viewers seeing Wanda in a different light. "If you look at the 'Infinity Saga,' I don't think any single person has gone through more pain and trauma than Wanda Maximoff. And no character seems to be as powerful as Wanda Maximoff. And no character has a power-set that is as ill-defined and unexplored as Wanda Maximoff," Feige explained. "So it seemed exploring that would be worthwhile post-'Endgame'. Who else is aware of that power? Where did it come from? Did the Mind Stone unlock it?"

As for the sitcom format approach that Wanda and the Vision (Bettany) appear to be enjoying/enduring? That ties into Feige's love of television ("I loved TV, and watched far too much 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' and 'I Love Lucy' and 'Bewitched' and everything"), but viewers can expect to see takes on some more modern sitcom tropes. "We go up to the 'Modern Family' and 'The Office' style," Feige revealed. "The talk-to-the-camera, shaky-camera, documentary style."

WandaVision marks the first series from Marvel Studios streaming exclusively on Disney+. The series is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision—two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.

Disney+'s WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Randall Park as Jimmy Woo, Kathryn Hahn as Agnes, Fred Melamed as Arthur Heart, and Debra Jo Rupp as Mrs. Heart. Created by Jac Schaeffer with an opening episode written by Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, the streaming service series is executive produced by Schaeffer and Kevin Feige with Marvel Studios producing.
