During *Avengers: Infinity War,* she was forced to destroy the Mind Stone — killing her lover, Vision, in the process — until Thanos used the Time Stone to undo her actions and tear the Mind Stone from Vision, killing the sentient android himself. Wanda disappeared — along with half the universe — during ‘The Snap’ before being restored in *Avengers: Endgame;* but sadly, Vision remained among the casualties of the war. So when Marvel announced that a six-episode series called *WandaVision* would be added to its Phase 4 lineup, there were questions. Would it take place in the past (a popular *Loki* theory)? Did Vision somehow survive (like Agent Coulson in *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*)? Once the official trailer dropped...well...the questions just keep coming. WATCH THE OFFICIAL TRAILER HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj9J2ecsSpo&ab_channel=MarvelEntertainment Set to debut on Disney+ on Jan. 15, 2021, *WandaVision* appears to take place in an alternate dimension. Star Elizabeth Olsen told the [*New York Times*]() that the series will explore Wanda as the Scarlet Witch much as she is in the comic books — including addressing the character’s mental health and illness. The series begins in a 1950s television sitcom where the characters are blissfully unaware of the tragedy that has befallen them. Marvel literally filmed the pilot in front of a studio audience (who signed “very, very strict NDAs,” reported [*Entertainment Weekly*]()). “It is even better than it was pitched. It’s even more complicated and fun and interesting and playful than I could have ever imagined this job being,” gushed Olsen. Her co-star Paul Bettany, who plays the titular Vision character, called it “totally bonkers” with a grin. “Our content is so different from Marvel. It’s like a conversation of American sitcom through the decades with Marvel Film and they’re constantly in dialogue with each other. So it’s really fun!” hinted Olsen. After a decade of successful films and television series within the MCU, Marvel has earned the right to take some risks. The show will bridge itself to *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,* according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Due for release in March 2022, the sequel to 2016’s *Doctor Strange* promises to feature Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff alongside Benedict Cumberbatch’s zany Dr. Stephen Strange. ## Author Shannon Corbeil has worked for We Are The Mighty as a digital video producer, writer, and host, as well as a staff writer covering military history, trivia, and valor.
