WANDAVISION Director Says The Series Explores Wanda's Trauma; TV Spot Brings Back Her AVENGERS Costume

WandaVision director Matt Shakman explains how Wanda Maximoff's trauma factors into the Disney+ series, while a low-res TV spot brings back her Avengers costume and teases some Time Stone shenanigans!

Yesterday, Marvel Studios held a global press conference (online, of course) for WandaVision, the first of their TV shows to arrive on Disney+. We'll no doubt have plenty more to share from that with you today, but some comments from director Matt Shakman are of particular interest. 

The Scarlet Witch from the comics is a damaged individual, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Wanda Maximoff has also faced her fair share of trauma since first appearing in Avengers: Age of Ultron

Shakman says that WandaVision is focused very much on "grief and trauma and how we hold onto our hope." As for how that connects to Wanda, he points out that "[she] is probably the person who has suffered the most of anyone in the MCU...and so the show is always grounded in that."

He drops one final tease by stating, "Even though what you see are faithfully recreated television shows, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye."

A minute-long low-res TV spot for WandaVision has also started doing the rounds on social media. Take a close look at the final few seconds, and you'll notice that Wanda is wearing her costume from the Avengers films. There's also something weird going on with the Time Stone in The Vision's head (we still have no clue how that's returned after Captain America returned it to the past).

@Mando - don't want to accuse anyone of buying reviews or not but WW84s first reviews that boosted HBO Maxs numbers only to later drop hundreds of negative reviews was suspicious

@Mando - Well WW84 suffered a huge negative blowback almost across the board, so of course they want to send some negative energy on WandaVision's way. And they're gonna bash it on Friday as well, blah blah blah it's lame, it's corny, it's kiddie sh#t, Snyder Cut FTW, you know the drill.

@Blergh - I truly believe Warner bros only invited critics they know who are DC fan first to the wonder woman 1984 screening...plus this is the same company the used fake reviews for batman v superman

@Mando - Now that I think of it, the two projects share big similarities. Two main female protagonists deal with the loss of their male soul mate. They get to spend time with them thanks to "magical circumstances" that reignites their romance through a "lie" so they can finally confront this issue of loss and grief. All that with a retro setting fully embracing the corniness and cheesiness of another era's tropes and nostalgia.

@Doomsday8888 - it’s debatable, but Thor clearly had *more* good times with his loved ones before they were all taken away. Wanda lost her parents when she was young, was experimented on with her brother whom she then lost along her nation with the Avengers, and then had to kill her lover with Infinity War, so... pretty neck and neck in the tragedy department.

So hyped for this... The footage I've seen from this already looks interesting.

Still though, too soon to judge this show from just clips alone. This entire thing can't come out soon enough. Seriously, I can't wait to watch it!

Plus the positive reception from those who have already seen (part of) it gives me hope that this show will deliver what it promises.

Ummm.....Vision originally had the Mind stone, not the Time Stone. Why are you calling it the Time stone instead?
