What To Know About WandaVision Before It Starts

WandaVision is intriguing for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that one of its main characters is currently dead. But we know better by now than to second-guess Marvel, so despite the confusion, we're eager to see what WandaVision has in store for us when it hits Disney+.

During the company's Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic Con in July of 2019, Marvel Studios revealed a pretty packed calendar for 2020 and '21, laying out plans for a whopping ten new films and television series centered around various characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Originally, WandaVision was scheduled to be the second of seven MCU projects premiering in 2021, but those plans have been reworked numerous times since then, with multiple unanticipated delays altering the series’ release date. WandaVision initially moved its release up to late 2020, before being pushed back to 2021 once again due to the ongoing delays and disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

While WandaVision was originally intended to be preceded in Phase 4 by the movie Black Widow, the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and another movie debuting the Eternals team of superheroes, the space-and-time-twisting series will now be the first entry in the MCU's new chapter, with a premiere date set for January 15, 2021.

The shakeup comes as a result of the theatrical releases for both Black Widow and Eternals being delayed to later in 2021. On the TV side, the pandemic-related disruptions caused The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to experience production delays that made its planned 2020 release impossible.

Currently, WandaVision is the only one of Marvel's upcoming Disney+ shows to have an official release date. Originally, it was scheduled to lead right into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the follow-up to 2016's Doctor Strange in which Wanda Maximoff is said to play a significant role.

However, at least as far as the current schedule is concerned, the two MCU properties may have their releases separated by more than a year, with Doctor Strange now being the last of the Phase 4 films slated to hit theaters.
