5 WandaVision updates that have been confirmed by MCU & Disney+

Fans loved the heart-wrenching scene at the end of Avengers: Infinity War where Wanda was trying to ward off Thanos with one hand and destroy Vision’s mind stone with the other. Fans, however, thought that the Scarlet witch’s position in the Avenger’s team has been underserved. Hence, Elizabeth Olsen will also co-star with Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Not only this, but she will also be seen with her solo series on Disney+ called WandaVision. Here are five things from WandaVision by MCU on Disney+ that has been confirmed:

WandaVision on Disney+ will be a sitcom

The producer of WandaVision has reportedly revealed that the show will be a mix between a superhero epic and a sitcom. MCU seems to be really interested in the sitcom angle for WandaVision. They have even reportedly hired Matt Shakman to direct the first episode. Shakman had earlier worked on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Fargo and Game of Thrones.
