With the evolution of television programming, thanks to streaming services, the boundaries of what is a TV show and what isn’t, as well as what the rules are for structuring series and continuing them after they “end,” are all changing. We’ve seen more limited series than ever before, with fans understanding that TV shows don’t have to run for 10 seasons to be considered a success.
Fresh off his breakout role in “One Night in Miami…” (but he also was great in “The OA”), Kingsley Ben-Adir is doing what all rising actors do nowadays—joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We are mere days away from the premiere of Marvel Studios’ second series, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” And just as it was with “WandaVision” a few months ago, people are already asking Kevin Feige if there will be a second season of ‘Falcon’… before the first episode even debuts. And much like he did with the previous Disney+ series from earlier this year, the Marvel Studios President isn’t confirming nor denying that a Season 2 is in the works.
With the intense fever spurred by Disney+/Marvel’s WandaVision and the anticipation of Friday’s debut of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Marvel Studios President and Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige was asked again today at the press conference for the new series whether a season 2 is already in the works.
A common complaint about critics and viewers of the “WandaVision” series finale was that it seemingly let Wanda off the hook for essentially torturing and holding the citizens of Westview hostage.
Elaine Low Senior TV WriterNow that nine-part epic “WandaVision” has wrapped and the premiere of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” is still a week away, Disney Plus has released a new documentary-style special to fill the Westview-sized hole in your heart.“Assembled: The Making of ‘WandaVision'” features interviews with showrunner and exec producer Jac Schaeffer, director Matt Shakman, and stars Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Kathryn Hahn and Teyonah Parris.
With “WandaVision” done and fans now able to take a look at the whole story and figure out what they liked and didn’t like, there are still some that feel a bit underwhelmed by the finale. And part of this disappointment might stem from the internalized hype they had for what was expected, with major cameos and huge Easter Eggs about the future of the MCU.
So, were you disappointed by the finale of “WandaVision?” After weeks of hype and Paul Bettany trolling fans, Disney+ released the final episode of the Marvel Studios series on Friday and ended a fascinating story of trauma and grief using a synthezoid superhero and tons of sitcom TV tropes.
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you haven’t seen “The Series Finale,” the ninth and final episode of “WandaVision” on Disney Plus.“WandaVision,” the first big television show of 2021, ended up being both an oddity and an inevitability. While the Disney Plus series is from the powerful production house of Marvel Studios, it also proved to be a deliciously strange, surprisingly poignant reflection on grief, family and community.
Marvel is back. The MCU kicked off their 2021 slate of TV shows and movies with, which stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany and brings the super-powered beings to suburban-life — though everything is not as it seems.
, Marvel Studio's first streaming series, saw Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) star in their own sitcom, give birth to supertwins, reunite with long lost brothers and face ancient, evil witches. And that was all before Friday's finale, «The Series Finale.»By episode 9's end, Wanda unleashed The Scarlet Witch to defeat Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), Vision came to terms with himself in the form of White Vision and Hayward's ploy was thwarted.
Paul Bettany is now learning the hard way what might happen if you tease something for Marvel fans and then never follow through. After weeks of teasing a secret cameo on the Disney+ series, “WandaVision,” Paul Bettany is coming clean — it was all part of a joke that got blown entirely out of proportion.

Elizabeth Olsen) and Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), who revealed herself to be a centuries-old witch with dubious intentions.The entirety of episode 8 up to that moment revolves around Agatha's investigation into how Wanda created the sitcom reality they find themselves in.
One of the best parts about binging a show is that your expectations are likely minimal about how the series will end. You can blow through a whole season over a couple of days and not even dwell on the mysteries, teases, and character arcs until the whole thing is wrapped up.
With “WandaVision” wrapping up this week, all eyes are turning towards Anthony Mackie and his upcoming “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” as the next project being popped out of the Marvel Studios money printing factory. But unlike “WandaVision” and the future of the Scarlet Witch, not much is known about where Falcon is going to end up at the end of the upcoming series.
So, we already know that it was Agatha all along. And we know that Wanda’s unchecked trauma and grief are the reasons behind the Hex and the key to fixing the problems of Westview.
Typically, we’d avoid posting about spoilers for a Marvel project (or any high-profile film or TV series) for at least a week. However, with “WandaVision” dropping Marvel bombshells every seven days, we can’t really sit back and ignore something awesome before the latest hot thing comes along Friday, can we? And with that, we want to talk about how great Kathryn Hahn has been on “WandaVision” and why she probably has the best theme song yet.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige has said there are currently no plans for a second season of WandaVision.Feige addressed the future of the Disney+ show in light of its popularity at yesterday’s (February 24) Television Critics’ Association press tour.“I’ve been at Marvel too long to say a definite yes or a definite no to anything,” Feige told journalists, according to The Independent.“Lizzy Olsen will go from WandaVision to the Doctor Strange film,” he continued.
