JAKARTA - Starting the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the WandaVision series will be released starting today via the Disney + Hotstar streaming service.

WandaVision tells the story of Vision (Paul Bettany) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as a husband and wife who live in the suburbs. Their life looks beautiful but in fact there are some things that make them not all right.

Several facts were revealed ahead of the premiere of the WandaVision series. VOI summarizes it for readers. Check it out here.

Not Adaptation

If the Marvel series is usually adapted from the comic version, WandaVision is not like that. This story was packaged by Matt Shakman as the director of WandaVision with an original story.

New Phase Opener

WandaVision is the opening of the fourth phase of the MCU in which the series will link up with the next films, namely Spider-Man and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Elizabeth Olsen reportedly collided with Benedict Cumberbatch, who played Doctor Strange.

In general, Marvel production series such as Daredevil or Agents of SHIELD have a different storyline from the MCU.

Tribute to Classic Sitcoms

Seeing the format that is like a situation comedy in the past, this was agreed by the President of Marvel, Kevin Feige and director of WandaVision, Matt Shakman. They were inspired by the classic sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Watching the WandaVision series will remind viewers of past television shows that were golden in color.

Star studded with Marvel

Apart from Bettany and Olsen, WandaVision is played by Teyonah Parris who has appeared in Captain Marvel, Kat Dennings from Thor, and Randall Park from Ant-Man and the Wasp.

The only character making her debut is Kathryn Hann who plays the character of Agnes, a noisy but owning neighbor.

Periodic Release

The latest episode of WandaVision will be released every Friday with two episodes. Unlike the Netflix streaming service which is used to releasing all episodes in one day, Disney + does this so that the audience will feel enthusiastic about the WandaVision series.

There are Instructions in the Ad

Throughout the episodes of WandaVision spinning, there are ad snippets that can't be skipped. It is not yet known what the advertisement contains but it is most likely related to some upcoming Marvel films and series.

As for the broadcast of WandaVision, there was the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki. Marvel fans are also presented with a lot of new content in 2021.

Disney + 's newest series, WandaVision, will premiere today, January 15 at 3pm CEST exclusively on Disney +.
