WANDAVISION: It Seems The Marvel Series Won't Be Premiering On Disney+ This Year After All

We had been led to believe that WandaVision would be the only Marvel series to premiere on Disney+ this year, but if that was indeed the original plan, it looks like things have now changed!

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll be getting to see WandaVision this side of 2021 after all.

Along with pretty much every other major studio, the pandemic threw Disney's original release schedule into disarray when the Marvel Disney+ TV shows that managed to enter production this year were hit with significant filming delays. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was moved off the 2020 calendar completely, but we had been led to believe that WandaVision would still make its way to the streamer before the end of the year.

However, a chat session with Disney+ customer support (via Twitter user @cinemAddikt) in Latin America tells a different story.

Here's the rough translation (via The Direct).

"Yes, they are looking to promote the Disney classics, but of course there will be much more content, as previously mentioned, like The Simpsons, we'll have the Marvel movies and series; WandaVision premieres in January. National Geographic documentaries, etc."

No word from Marvel/Disney on this so there is still a chance we will see WandaVision this December (it may also be a regional delay), but the fact that the Mouse House has yet to announce an official premiere date for the show had already led to speculation that it must have been pushed into 2021, so this news wouldn't be all that surprising.

Again, nothing official here, but we'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

Welcome to WandaVision. Coming soon to Disney+. Marvel Studios' captivating new series "WandaVision" stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, and marks the first series from Marvel Studios streaming exclusively on Disney+. The series is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision—two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.

I mean, that's only one month. I have a feeling we are all going to need a little something in January to get us through what's looking to be a loooong winter.

I’m starting to get frustrated with Disney+. I understand covid has been a major obstacle but not one Marvel show in an entire year of Disney+? I’ve only watched 2 seasons of Mandalorian the entire time I’ve been subscribed to the service.

@BreakTheCode - I think that frustration set in last year for many of us

@BreakTheCode - It is frustrating but before COVID we were supposed to start getting Falcon and Winter Soldier in August and then basically for the rest of ever we were getting big budget Marvel or Star Wars content every week. This pandemic at basically the worst time for these companies to be launching these streaming services.

@BreakTheCode - There never was a plan to have enough Marvel content for this service to be worth constant subbing. And given the reported cost of these shows something has got to give. $25M an ep is just not something they can keep up, especially in quantity.

That's assuming that $25M/ep. is correct and neither includes a crap ton of one time expenditures or that the shows are one time, loss leaders.

@BreakTheCode - yeah but it's not exactly like they knew COVID was going to completely derail everything

Kat Dennings claimed a few days ago that it’s going to keep a December release. Seems to be a disconnect here.

Well this sucks.

What a sh*tshow this year has been... The only 2 good things we got were pretty much Tenet and The Mandalorian:

I don't get it: this is not theatrical release, the pandemic means there will be more people at home being able to watch no? That could only be good for business, I would have thought. Anyway, huge news today from Pfizer announcing their vaccine testing is effective and they'll be applying for production rights soon!
