in

The first official glimpse of WandaVision has arrived.

The official trailer for the show, which you can see below, dropped today during the 72nd Annual Emmy Awards. Starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, the series takes place following the events of Avengers: Endgame. “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,” the show’s synopsis reads.

Olsen and Bettany aren’t the only familiar faces set to appear in the series. Kat Dennings, who played Thor’s friend Darcy Lewis, and Randall Park, who played FBI agent Jimmy Woo, will also show up. The show also features Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau. A younger version of the character appeared in 2019’s Captain Marvel. Rounding out the main cast is Transparent actress Kathryn Hahn, who portrays the couple’s neighbor. She’s rumored to be Agatha Harkness, who was Scarlet Witch’s tutor in the comic books.

WandaVision will make its way to Disney+ this December. The show will have a strong connection to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is slated to hit theaters on March 25, 2022.

in

The biennial D23 Expo is taking place this weekend, and Marvel fans wanted some major Disney+ news. Fortunately, they got it with the reveal of television shows based on Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight today.

Fans have wanted to see these characters enter the MCU for years. In June, Mindy Kailing revealed Marvel had plans to bring Ms. Marvel to life. In 2017, James Gunn revealed he pitched a Moon Knight movie to Marvel. Moon Knight was originally slated to appear in Blade: The Series before the show’s cancellation. A Moon Knight TV show was in the works in 2006, but those plans were nixed. A She-Hulk movie was planned for the early ‘90s with Brigitte Nielsen playing the title character. While photos of Nielsen dressed as She-Hulk exist, the movie was never finished.

While these announcements were great, some folks are wondering about New Warriors, which was slated to be released last year. Following Freeform’s decision to not air the program, the show was put on the shelf.

Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight join an impressive slew of Marvel shows heading to the streaming service. In fall 2020, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will premiere. Spring 2021 will see the premieres of WandaVision and a Loki series. A Hawkeye series will be released in the fall of 2021. An animated What If? series is also in the works.

Disney+ will launch on November 12 with the monthly price of $6. Head to their website for more information.
