The new series picks up with Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany’s Vision—hence, „WandaVision.“
We might not be getting any new Marvel movies in theaters for the immediate future, but fans will soon be able to welcome a couple of Avengers right into their homes. Disney announced on Thursday that WandaVision—a new original series centered on Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff (a.k.a. Scarlet Witch) and Paul Bettany’s Vision (R.I.P.)—will be debuting on its Disney+ streaming service early next year, on January 15. Word of the release date came via a tweet teasing, „A new era arrives.“ The tweet also features a 28-second video clip that plays up the idea that WandaVision will be pitched as some sort of bizarro sitcom. In it, we see shots of Wanda and Vision styled like couples from vintage TV shows—there’s the black-and-white of, say, The Dick Van Dyke Show and the ’80s fashion of fare like Family Ties.
