“WandaVision” star Paul Bettany recently revealed which episodes of the upcoming Disney+ are important to understand what’s going on.
What happened:
Bettany — who played Vision in multiple Marvel films and will now star in the upcoming Disney+ show — told ComicBook.com in an interview that there are three episodes that will change everything you know about the show.
“Oh, wow, I think probably, yeah, somewhere in the region of seven, eight, and nine is really, you start, because think about it, right, right now what’s happened is you, rather like Wanda and Vision, have found yourself dropped into a sort of idyllic 1950s black and white American suburbia and, you know, week by week,” Bettany told ComicBook.com. “You’re gonna start hurdling through the decades of the American century and, well, much like Vision, you’re probably gonna go, ‘Something’s not right in this town, something wrong is happening in this town.’ And I think that’s gonna be really fun for the audience but I think that when you get full awareness of what the hell is going on in this place is probably somewhere in the region of seven and eight and then you need some big battles and you’re gonna get ’em.”
What to expect
As I wrote for the Deseret News, the series — directed by Matt Shakman — appears to blend reality with an alternate reality, potentially connecting the show to a new part of the multiverse. This appears to be the future of the Marvel franchise.
“‘WandaVision is such a cool, strange, one-of-a-kind project,” said the show’s theme song writer, Robert Lopez., according to Digital Spy. “When the director, Matt Shakman — an old friend from my college days — pitched it to us, we didn’t have to think about it. We loved the bright feeling of American sitcoms mixed with the deep sense of unease the story had, and it was a really inviting challenge to help set that tone.”
