Wandavision Season 1 (2020) Trailer Review

A nice surprise during the Emmy's last night saw the first main trailer for the first MCU show on Disney+ Wandavision and here are my thoughts on it. 

This is Marvel's most ambitious project

Don't get me wrong Marvel have done some big projects in their time, huge I mean but in my opinion Wandavision is the most unique and ambitious project yet. This show has to launch its whole television universe and if you have watched the trailer you know just how strange this show looks. Fans of the MCU are used to huge action scenes and battles but that won't be here, this is going to be a character piece and look at some interesting themes. 

Scarlett Witch has created a new reality

It is clear that at the end of Avengers Endgame Wanda was still mourning Vision and this leads directly into this show. It seems like Wanda has used her powers to create a reality set in the 1950's that sees the two of them as a happy couple. But the question is whether there is a sinister force at play that is manipulating her or is she doing it all herself. 

Vision realises he is dead

In Avengers Infinity War Vision was killed by Thanos, making it interesting to how he is here. As I mentioned above it seems like Wanda has created a new reality where Vision is alive but then there is modern day scenes too. In one of them a girl tells Vision that he is dead, it will be interesting to see if Vision makes it out of this show alive or whether he stays dead. 

Nice look at the characters classic costumes

We saw Wanda's classic Scarlett Witch costume in the super bowl trailer and we get another look at it here and it looks good. But we also see Vision in a classic costume and it looks great and so unique which again adds to the strange feeling of this show. 

This show will set up Doctor Strange 2 

It has been reported for a while that Elizabeth Olsen will be reprising the role of Wanda in the Doctor Strange sequel and I think it is clear that this show will set that up. If Wanda creates this universe then potentially Strange will turn up at the end of the show and offer to train her to ensure she doesn't make this mistake again. 

Overall

Overall, plot details are scarce about this show but this trailer shows tonnes of promise and hopefully it can keep the intrigue and interest through the show.
