WandaVision writer promises that answers are coming

Early teasers and trailers for WandaVision hinted that the show would be unlike anything MCU fans had seen before, and after the first few episodes, fans are learning that Marvel Studios wasn’t kidding. For some, it’s a lot to process. Why are Wanda and Vision living in a sitcom parallel universe? Is it an illusion? Who’s behind it? Speaking to The Wrap, head writer and producer Jac Schaeffer hinted that answers are coming.

Naturally, Schaeffer couldn’t give specifics, but it sounds like things will start to make sense as the series moves into its second half. The show features nine half-hour episodes, and as of this writing, the first three episodes have been released.

“We will need to start answering some questions and clarifying what’s going on. I don’t want to spoil it by telling you how we do it, but there are answers to be had in the upcoming episodes, she said.

Her comments don’t reveal much, but they’re enough to give puzzled fans hope that answers are on their way.

WandaVision slowly reveals clues about what’s happening

WandaVision has a lot riding on it. It’s the first Marvel Studios content in well over a year and represents the launch of the MCU’s Phase 4.

From the earliest moments of the pilot episode, there was something clearly off about life in the Wanda Maximoff and Vision household. Though they seemed happy enough, something was wrong. Fans know that Vision died at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, so his presence alone is a huge mystery.

Each episode is modeled after a different era in American TV history, and that’s not even the strangest part: in the third episode, Wanda gives birth to twins after a whirlwind pregnancy and banishes a neighbor (played by Teyonah Parris) from whatever reality bubble where they’re living after she mentions Ultron killing Wanda’s brother Pietro in Avengers: Age of Ultron. For those not content to subsist of eerie hints, answers will need to start coming soon.

On the flip side, WandaVision is much more enjoyable for viewers happy to catch the nods and winks as they come. Take, for example, the twins. Named Tommy and Billy, there’s every reason to believe that they could (or probably will) end up being the Tommy and Billy of Young Avengers fame, whose fate is tied to one of Marvel’s most infamous villains: Mephisto.

Thankfully, Schaeffer’s comments suggest that answers will be coming in short order, which will help explain things for armchair fans who need it while confirming or denying theories for fans who think they know what’s going on.

All we know for certain is that Marvel knows how to keep an audience on pins and needles, and when it comes to WandaVision, they will let fans know what they need to know when they need to know it.
