- WandaVision not too long ago wrapped up its preliminary run on Disney+.
- The present, which stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, could possibly be only one season. However, as Kevin Feige says, the choice is all the time there.
- The collection leads straight into a number of upcoming movies, however may all the time circle again to Disney+.
After a protracted summer season and winter and summer season and winter once more, we lastly returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Disney+’s WandaVision, the primary MCU launch since Spider-Man: Far From Dwelling over a yr in the past. And now that the present’s inaugural (and probably solely?) season is full, you are most likely questioning about any nuggets you may probably discover relating to Season 2. And we have got you lined on that entrance.
Choosing up after the occasions of Endgame, WandaVision follows Wanda Maximoff (often known as Scarlet Witch and performed by Elizabeth Olsen) and Imaginative and prescient (Paul Bettany) because the couple enact numerous sitcoms from the Nineteen Fifties onward. The collection unfolds like a thriller field. Questions are raised and raised… and raised, till episodes reveal the sleight of hand behind early season magic. (There’s even an precise magic present to bolster how meta every thing already is: we’re watching Imaginative and prescient and Wanda; we’re watching others, like spectators and SWORD scientists, watch Imaginative and prescient and Wanda, and many others.)
As anticipated, there’s a lot hypothesis on how, precisely, WandaVision will match into the subsequent section of the MCU. The collection has already launched two future Younger Avengers with Billy and Tommy. It’s introduced in characters from Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor, and Captain Marvel, and certain related on to the Physician Unusual franchise. So whereas the self-esteem of WandaVision is sitcom, the construction of MCU properties stays expansive comedian e book.
All that mentioned, will WandaVision dwell on as its personal collection with future seasons, or is it merely a prelude to the subsequent stage of the MCU?

Is WandaVision getting a season 2?
There’s no phrase but from executives at Disney or Marvel on a potential WandaVision season 2. We could learn into the title of WandaVision’s last episode in season 1, “The Sequence Finale” as proof of the present’s finish. However “WandaVision” was additionally the title of the present throughout the present, which has undoubtedly ended. So which present is the title referring to? Rattling you, Marvel, and your infinite evasion ways.
There’s additionally no phrase {that a} season 2 gained’t occur.
At Disney+’s Tv Critics Affiliation press tour presentation, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige responded to a query about persevering with the collection, saying “I’ve been at Marvel for too lengthy to say a particular no or a particular sure to something.” Marvel doesn’t must tease or bait viewers for gross sales—the model sells itself. Nonetheless, the reply might be as self-serving as it’s brutally sincere. Feige did go on to clarify why initiatives are sometimes left dangling:
“We’re growing all of those exhibits the way in which we’re growing our films — in different phrases, once we begin with a film, we hope there’s a Half 2, we hope there’s a Half 3. However we aren’t factoring that into Half 1; we try to make one thing that can hook folks sufficient and that folks will get pleasure from sufficient that they’ll need to revisit and need to see the story proceed. So that’s the approach we’re continuing on tv as effectively.”
In brief: Marvel all the time retains its choices open. Whereas they might not all the time storyboard previous the primary movie or the primary season, they’re going to depart sufficient lose ends to probably hook up with their ridiculously giant universe; leaving lose ends should not bee too tough. A kind of lose ends will doubtless be the way forward for Wanda.
When requested about season 2 in an interview with Elle, Olsen did trace at future developments. “The explanation it’s a sitcom exhibits itself later within the present. When Kevin instructed me, it did not really feel so weird. It felt like a good way to begin our story.”
Whether or not she means “begin our story” as in prelude the developments of the primary season or arrange future seasons—that essential distinction—continues to be unclear. What does appear clear, nonetheless, is that WandaVision gained’t be a wait-and-see resolution for Marvel; with each franchise so meticulously crafted, both season 2 is already within the works, or it is not going to exist.

What is going to WandaVision season 2 be about?
No matter whether or not or not WandaVision sees one other season, its storyline will finally proceed. Olsen will seem within the upcoming MCU movie Physician Unusual and the Multiverse of Insanity, at the moment filming in London and directed by horror and superhero veteran Sam Raimi. Olsen has mentioned that WandaVision is mainly a “tee-up” for this movie.
The place that leaves all the opposite characters from WandaVision, nonetheless, stays unclear. What makes Marvel properties distinctive is there aren’t inflexible limitations between franchises. So whereas WandaVision could not proceed the sitcom shenanigans, we gained’t essentially be completed with its many characters—and definitely not with the results of its storyline.
The post-credits scene on the finish of the WandaVision season 1 finale teases an excellent bigger forged of future heroes. Within the scene, Wanda, now Scarlet Witch, hears the voices of her sons Billy and Tommy—the boys, it appeared, had been obliterated without end. However within the Marvel comics, Billy and Tommy are merely trapped by the foe Mephisto. Their escape units them off on an identification journey and, finally, towards the the group of heroes generally known as the “Younger Avengers.”
Maybe the “season 2” of WandaVision will merely be the story of Billy and Tommy, or, fairly, Wiccan and Velocity.
Although, there’s one character we could have to actually say goodbye to after WandaVision: Imaginative and prescient. He’s, for now, lifeless lifeless. Nonetheless, his physique continues on within the type of White Imaginative and prescient, and after White Imaginative and prescient and Imaginative and prescient Imaginative and prescient’s floating philosophy seminar, whose actually to say what makes Imaginative and prescient “Imaginative and prescient.” For now he is lifeless, and even lifeless lifeless. However he isn’t but lifeless lifeless lifeless. Marvel all the time retains its choices open.
