WandaVision ended its nine-episode run on Friday, giving closure to Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) Westview chapter, and establishing the way forward for the Marvel Cinematic Universe by means of two post-credits scenes — at the least two upcoming Phase Four films (and possibly extra). The Marvel Studios sequence’ success is of course making people surprise after they can count on WandaVision season 2. Unfortunately, the reply is a “no” on that entrance. You might’ve figured that out for those who watched it by means of the tip. Or higher but, for those who learn the WandaVision episode title: “The Series Finale.” Marvel trolled us right here and there, however that is as particular because it will get.
Spoilers forward for all of WandaVision.
WandaVision Review: Marvel’s Endgame Boom Made This Experiment Possible
Except — it is probably not that particular. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige, in his look eventually month’s Television Critics Association occasion, mentioned: “I’ve been at Marvel too long to say a definite ‘no’ to anything as far as a second season of WandaVision.” That leaves Marvel sufficient wiggle room in case it decides to do a WandaVision season 2 someday sooner or later. But at TCA, Feige additionally famous what Marvel has repeatedly spoken about up to now: “Lizzie Olsen will go from WandaVision to the Doctor Strange film.” He’s speaking about Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness (or extra merely, Doctor Strange 2), which finds Olsen becoming a member of Benedict Cumberbatch in his sequel film.
This is sensible on some accounts. WandaVision villain Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) namechecked Doctor Strange when she referred to the “Sorcerer Supreme” in WandaVision episode 9, whereas speaking in regards to the Darkhold e book. And then, within the (*2*)WandaVision episode 9 post-credits scene, as she pored by means of the Darkhold, Wanda revealed that she will separate her astral self (that appears like Scarlet Witch) from her bodily self (who was casually sipping tea within the mountains someplace). Just like Doctor Strange, whom we noticed doing so in his first movie. In the finale, Wanda additionally says that she needs to totally perceive her powers, so it is solely logical she would search out the one different sorcerer she is aware of.
How their journey is intertwined past that’s up for hypothesis. Doctor Strange will possible go up towards his former ally Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who misplaced religion in Strange within the first movie. Meanwhile, the WandaVision finale post-credits scene ended with Wanda listening to her twin boys’ (that is Tommy and Billy) screams for assist. That is curious, as a result of they have been believed to have been erased away after Wanda introduced the Westview Hex to a detailed. Is this a trick by some villain? Or are they calling out to her from one other dimension? After all, the Doctor Strange sequel is titled Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness.
How closely will Wanda be concerned in that movie? Feige has beforehand mentioned that WandaVision would immediately setup Doctor Strange 2, which means that her story will likely be continued. But is that the tip of the highway for Wanda — or would possibly there be extra for her in retailer? That is completely unclear. Of course, a WandaVision season 2 would additionally want Vision. And he is gone (once more). For what it is price, this has occurred earlier than. Vision died in Avengers: Infinity War, remained useless in Avengers: Endgame, however nonetheless acquired a full sequence (in WandaVision). And oh, a brand new (white) Vision flew away within the WandaVision finale — so I’m guessing he is nonetheless round.
After all, as Wanda mentioned to Vision within the finale: “We will say hello again.”
All 9 WandaVision episodes are streaming on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar. Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness is slated to launch March 25, 2022 in cinemas.
