Along with the trailer reveal, a brand new poster was also released, teasing the inner conflict that Wanda will endure throughout the series.

It's clear that MCU fans are reacting positively to the release of the WandaVision trailer, especially after months of hiatus from Marvel Studios promotion. While the new trailer offered more questions than answers, it's a safe bet that MCU diehards will dive into speculation theory to make sense of what was released.
Marvel Studios is known for taking risks, and WandaVision is a prime example of that. The sitcom trope of the Disney+ series seems to be fresh way of incorporating a narrative, and it will be interesting to see how Wanda will evolve as a character throughout WandaVision.
WandaVision has been confirmed to premiere on Disney+ this December, and this new trailer proved that the wait will be a worthwhile one.
