Marvel Studios revealed today, during their San Diego Comic-Con panel, that Teyonah Parris (
Dear White People) has joined the cast of their upcoming Disney+ series,
WandaVision, as an adult version of Monica Rambeau.
Rambeau was first introduced in
Captain Marvel earlier this year, played by child actress Akira Akbar.
WandaVision will star Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) and Paul Bettany (Vision) in the lead roles and has been heavily rumored to be set in the 1950s. However, neither Olsen nor Bettany were particularly forthcoming with plot details, but they did strongly imply this will be the wildest project either has ever done.

Next, Feige offered the latest on “WandaVision,” a Disney+ original series where Paul Bettany reprises the role of Vision and Elizabeth Olsen returns to her role of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
Bettany and Olsen were joined on stage by MCU newcomer Teyonah Parris, and Feige announced that Parris will be playing the grown-up version of Monica Rambeau, who was introduced to audiences in “Captain Marvel.”
“WandaVision” premieres on Disney+ in the spring of 2021.
