WandaVision review: A delightful superhero soap unlike anything in MCU
It’s been awhile, but it’s finally time to tune in to the Marvel universe again. WandaVision on Disney Plus is perfectly timed, kooky comfort viewing just when the epic escapism of big-screen Marvel movies is denied to us due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The first two half-hour episodes premiered on Disney’s streaming service on Jan.15, and a new episode then follows with a release date every Friday. As many viewers remain stuck indoors, it’s fitting WandaVision explores what happens when Marvel heroes go home, only to find that weirdness and danger lurk behind even the most ordinary front door.
Luckily you don’t have to remember much from prior MCU films about Wanda Maximoff and her magical powers, or hot pink robot Vision, to dive straight into the show. All you need to know about the superpowered couple played by Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany is that they’re weird, they’re in love, and they’re the charming heart of a surreal, suspenseful and actually pretty funny sitcom-inspired story. (No spoilers!)
