‘WandaVision’ Wows With Its First Official Trailer

Marvel Studios siphoned off some social media energy from the 72nd Emmy Awards with the unveiling of the first official trailer for WandaVision during the award show’s broadcast. The minute-long trailer, which is now online for those who missed the broadcast premiere, finds Wanda Maximoff and Vision living in suburbia and hosting friends for dinner. But, of course, there’s a lot going on beneath the surface, as Wanda points out.

“We are an unusual couple, you know?” says Wanda. “Oh, I don’t think that was ever in question,” replies Vision.

Elizabeth Olsen reprises her role as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany once again dons the Vision makeup for the first live-action Marvel Studios series set to stream on Disney+. The cast also includes at Kat Dennings (Thor) as Darcy Lewis, Randall Park (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jimmy Woo, Teyonah Parris (Empire) as Monica Rambeau, and Kathryn Hahn (A Bad Moms Christmas).

Marvel Studios and Disney+ will launch the series in late 2020.

The Plot:

The series is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision — two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives — begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.
