After years spent playing supporting roles, Vision and the Scarlet Witch are finally getting the spotlight inWandaVision, an upcoming show on theDisney+streaming service. The limited series, which is expected to run between six and eight episodes, will be set after the events ofAvengers: Endgameand is expected to have major repercussions on theMarvel Cinematic Universegoing forward.
WandaVisionis still cloaked in mystery, particularly with regard to Vision’s return. And yet, Marvel and Disney have released a few small tidbits of information about the show into the wild, including its logo, some of the cast members, its release date (Jun 04, 2025), and some footage for the series. Here’s everything that we know aboutWandaVisionso far.
First clip
Appearing onJimmy Kimmel Live, star Elizabeth Olsen shared a new clip from the upcoming Disney+ series. Check out the interview and the clip (starting at 4:24) above.
Race to the finish
Speaking toSFX Magazine, director Matt Shakman said “it’s going to be a mad sprint to the finish line” to complete post-production onWandaVisionin time for its January 15 release date. “The fact that we did have that post-process in the middle allowed us to finish up quicker than maybe we would have if we had just shot straight through and then just started post.”
New TV spot
A new TV spot reveals some previously unseen footage from the upcoming Disney+ show. One scene includes a shot of Wanda and Vision with two children — a probable allusion to the comic’s storyline in which Wanda magicks herself two twin boys who eventually become Young Avengers’ members Wiccan and Speed.
Release date and a new trailer
At Disney’s 2020 Investor Day, Marvel Studios released a new trailer and finally provided a release date for the upcoming series: July 13, 2025, on Disney+.

A journey through time
In December, the officialWandaVisionTwitter account began releasing posters for the series with Wanda Maximoff and Vision as the protagonists of different sitcoms throughout TV history. We’ve known since the Super Bowl spot thatWandaVisionwould bend time and genre using American TV as a medium, but there appears to be something dark afoot. Take a look at the images below and note how details change, marking clear passages of time and suggesting that reality may be a bit warped. What or who is causing so much chaos in Wanda’s life and just how aware of it is she?

New set photos and a note on style
Empire Magazinehas a new feature on the upcoming Disney+ series, giving us new looks at the set. The genre- and time-bending style sure seems to be in effect.

Additionally, Marvel President Kevin Feige revealed thatWandaVisionwill include some stylings popularized in sitcoms of the past 15 years. “We go up to theModern FamilyandThe Officestyle,” Feige said. “The talk-to-the-camera, shaky-camera, documentary style.”
The first trailer
Disney surprised audiences when they released the first trailer forWandaVisionduring the 2020 Emmy Awards. The trailer is every bit as wacky as the comic source material. The show seems completely untethered to time and space, which makes some sense because, as the trailer reminds us: Vision is dead.
Super Bowl spot
Disney teased The upcomingDisney+showsWandaVision,Loki, andFalcon and Winter Soldierin a 30-second spot during Super Bowl LIV on February 2. After we hear Paul Bettany’s Vision saying, “Welcome home,” we see a smash cut of about a dozen versions of Wanda Maximoff and Vision living their domestic lives. Whether these are alternate realities or simply glimpses at a few scenes is up for speculation, but given the Marvel Cinematic Universe’srecent teases of a “multiverse”,it seems plausible that this series will deal with interdimensionality.
The first poster
During Disney’s D23 Expo in August, artist Andy Park debuted theposter he painted forWandaVision, revealing the first piece of official promotional art for the show.

The poster seems to confirm reports that some (or possibly all) of the series will be set in the 1950s, but the shadows on the wall — which depict Vision and Scarlet Witch in their traditional. Marvel Comics superhero costumes — suggests that there’s more in play than what we see in the foreground.
Like theother Marvel showscoming to Disney+,WandaVisionwill feature the same actors that you’ve come to know and love on the big screen in their normal roles. In this case, that means that Elizabeth Olsen will return as Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, and Paul Bettany will be back as the robotic Avenger known as Vision.
They’ll be joined by Teyonah Parris, who’s best known for her work onMad Men,If Beale Street Could Talk,andDear White People(the movie, not the Netflix spinoff). Parris is new to the MCU, but the character she plays isn’t: Monica Rambeau appeared as a child inCaptain Marvel, in which she’s introduced as Lashana Lynch’s daughter, but she’s all grown up by the time thatWandaVisionbegins.
In June,Comic Book Moviealso reported that Evan Peters, who played Quicksilver in Fox’s X-Men franchise, has also joined the cast in an unspecified “key” role. Although in Marvel comics, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff (Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver) are siblings, the Marvel Cinematic Universe already played its Quicksilver card with Aaron Taylor-Johnson so it’s unlikely that Peters will be reprising his X-Men role.
Also reprising their MCU roles are Thor franchise actress Kat Dennings andAnt-Man and the Waspactor Randall Park, who will return as intern Darcy Lewis and FBI agent Jimmy Woo, respectively.
Marvel is keepingWandaVision‘s storyline and overall premise a secret for now, but it’s confirmed that the show will play a big role in the MCU going forward. In addition toWandaVision, the Scarlet Witch will also appear inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, whichWandaVisionwill reportedly help set up.
There might be some time travel or alternate dimension shenanigans at play inWandaVision, too. Shortly after Disneyunveiled Disney+ to investors, Olsen toldVarietythat Marvel had shared a picture of the Scarlet Witch and the Vision “in the 1950s.” Of course, in the comics, the Scarlet Witch has reality-warping powers, so who knows if this picture is “real” or not.
Obviously, the big question going intoWandaVisionis how Vision comes back, given that he was killed by Thanos pre-Snap inAvengers: Infinity War. However, from what Olsen says, it sounds like Wanda is going to be the show’s main focus. “We’re gonna get weird, we’re gonna go deep, we’re gonna have lots of surprises, and we’re gonna finally understand Wanda Maximoff as the Scarlet Witch,” Olsen told theComic-Con 2019audience.
Even with so many unknowns, we can take solace in the fact that a Marvel veteran is at the helm.WandaVisionwill be written byCaptain MarvelandBlack Widowco-writer Jac Schaeffer, who is also the showrunner.
The background
Audiences got their first glimpse at the Scarlet Witch inCaptain America: Winter Soldier‘s post-credit sequence, and she made her full-fledged debut inAvengers: Age of Ultron. That’s the same movie that introduced Vision, although Paul Bettany had been voicing Tony Stark’s A.I. assistant Jarvis sinceIron Man, which kicked off the MCU in 2008.
Scarlet Witch and Vision have been associated with the Avengers for decades. The Scarlet Witch first appeared in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’sX-Men No. 4as a member of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, alongside her brother, the super-speedster Quicksilver. Wanda is often depicted as Magneto’s daughter, although whether or not that’s officially canon changes fairly frequently. She joined the Avengers in issue No. 16, and has been a good guy (more or less) ever since.
Vision first appeared inAvengers No. 58, and was created by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and John Buscema. Originally, Vision was created by the Avengers’ mechanical nemesis, Ultron, as a weapon to use against the Avengers, but quickly switched sides. Wanda and Vision have been an on-again, off-again couple for years, and even had two children together, although the kids were ultimately revealed to be projections of the demon Mephisto.
Both Scarlet Witch and The Vision have appeared in major storylines over the past few years, both of which could influenceWandaVision. InHouse of M, a grief-stricken Scarlet Witch creates an alternate reality in which mutants never existed, drastically altering the course of the Marvel Universe. Meanwhile, Vision recently headlined his own limited series in which he creates his own synthezoid family and tries to adjust to life in the suburbs.
Monica Rambeau’s presence inWandaVisionis another interesting wrinkle. In the comics, Monica gained energy-controlling powers and dubbed herself Captain Marvel a good 20 years before Carol Danvers took the name, although she’s also gone by Photon, Pulsar, and Spectrum. It’ll be interesting to see ifWandaVisionstays true to Monica’s superheroic roots, or if this take has the character playing a different role.
