WandaVision Key Art Goes 80's Sitcom; Vision Goes Creepy Smile

So with The Walt Disney Company set to host a major investors conference call this Thursday, we think we have a pretty good idea of where these pieces of Disney+ key art that were released for the Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen-starring WandaVision. Each one has focused on a different sitcom decade that Wanda aka Scarlet With (Olsen) and the Vision (Bettany) find themselves in as they attempt "normal lives." The one eerie thing all four have in common? Whatever it's taking for the duo to find their "happily ever after," it seems to be ripping across the multiverse- will it end up requiring the services of a certain "master of the mystic arts" to repair?

Aside from the Vision needing to work on his staring and smiling so they don't keep looking so creepy, the teasers themselves seem to be leading to the release of a more detailed, official trailer- possibly Wednesday but we're thinking the same day as the conference call. Here's a look back at the previous three pieces of the show's puzzle to help see what answers you can divine before this Thursday's big Disney news day:

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.
