The first two episodes of WandaVision are now streaming on Disney+, marking the official launch of the ambitious Phase 4 slate of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The series is poised to become the MCU's most unique project due to its sitcom-based approach . So far, the strategy is working, as evidenced by a plethora of positive reviews from fans and critics .
Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany both made their triumphant return to the MCU as Wanda Maximoff and Vision, but they find themselves in an unusual setting since the pair are living a domestic life in the suburbs. Inspired by numerous sitcoms spanning several decades of television , WandaVision will follow the couple as they try to “fit in” within this newfound setup.
However, as the series progress, WandaVision will slowly transform into the MCU spectacle that fans know and love. It remains to be seen how the MCU series will do that, and it will be interesting to witness how it unfolds in the coming weeks.
Now, a fellow MCU veteran shares his excitement towards the highly-talked-about premiere of the inaugural MCU show.
