WandaVision will have 9 episodes, theme songs by the Frozen people

We’re getting more details about WandaVision, the weirdest Marvel series I can’t wait to watch.

Disney has dropped a new TV spot for WandaVision, the first of many Marvel TV series coming to Disney+. And people, let me tell you, with every new glimpse we get at this show, the weirder it looks and the more I want to watch it:

Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) living in some kind of sideways sitcom reality that Wanda is using her powers to manipulate…what is going on here? I don’t know, but I need to find out.

Clearly the show has a sinister undercurrent, but the surface-level stuff is so willfully wacky. Did you hear the jingle-jangle ’50s theme song?

Apparently it was written by Oscar-winning Frozen composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who penned a bunch of songs for the show, written to evoke eras from the 1950s to the early 2000s. “WandaVision is such a cool, strange, one-of-a-kind project,” Lopez said in a press release. “When the director, Matt Shakman—an old friend from my college days—pitched it to us, we didn’t have to think about it. We loved the bright feeling of American sitcoms mixed with the deep sense of unease the story had, and it was a really inviting challenge to help set that tone.”

That same press release also revealed that the show will be nine episodes long. And keep in mind that it’s coming in a year that will also see the release of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, Ms. Marvel and What If…?  Marvel may have taken off 2020, but they’re back with a vengeance in 2021.

The first episode of WandaVision starts on January 15. Yes please.
