‘WandaVision’: Disney+ Marvel Series Has Ties to ‘Captain Marvel’

Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con didn’t just include movies this year. With the launch of Disney+, Marvel Studios is now in the TV show. The show’s will continue the stories started in the films, featuring the movie actors reprising their roles. One of them is WandaVision, a show about Scarlet Witch and the Vision played, of course, by Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany.

Both actors were present during the panel and talked about the show, which Olsen described as “weird, deep and fun.” There’s also the fact that the Vision is um, currently dead? He was killed in Avengers: Infinity War and not resurrected in Avengers: Endgame. Turns out, Paul Bettany isn’t even sure of his Avenger’s fate.

Big news for fans of Captain Marvel. The series will, in a big surprise, feature the return of an all grown up Monica Rambeau (daughter of Maria Rambeau, introduced in Captain Marvel earlier this year). This time, the adult version of Monica will be played by Teyonah Parris, who previously starred in the feature films Dear White People and Chi-Raq and had a recurring role on Mad Men as Don Draper’s secretary Dawn.

In the comics, Monica Rambeau is a superhero in her own right possessed of powerful light wave powers. She’s gone by many codenames, initially Captain Marvel and later Photon and Spectrum.

And if you’re still waiting to see how the Disney+ shows will interact with Marvel’s Phase Four movies, wait no more. It was also announced that Wanda will appear in the Doctor Strange sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

WandaVision will debut on Disney+ in Spring 2021.
