There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding WandaVision, and considering the fact that the Disney+ series will put the spotlight on the Scarlet Witch and her incredible reality-altering powers, it doesn't seem like a stretch to to say that it could be a game changer for both Wanda and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

In an interview with the New York Times, star Elizabeth Olsen revealed that one of the best parts of the series for her was being able to explore the comic accurate side of the powerful Avenger.

"WandaVision is such an incredible concept. It’s the first time we get to understand her as the Scarlet Witch that she is in the comics, and that’s exciting for me, because I haven’t yet been able to give her that time onscreen," Olsen said, referencing Wanda's frequent mental health issues (which have been a huge part of her stories in recent years, including House of M). 

"So that’s going to be fun," the actress continued. "She’s always been a representation of mental health and illness in the comics, and her major role is handling that stigma within Marvel."

Olsen refused to divulge any details on The Vision's return, and explained that she doesn't know much about her role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, noting that "it's still kind of early."

We're bound to hear more from the actress in the coming weeks, though Marvel Studios has yet to reveal the premiere date for WandaVision. We do, however, know that it's going to be with us before the end of 2020.

@Doomsday8888 - At least it was nice of Wanda to resurrect the 16 Million Mutants who died in Genosha from Morrisons run..... as zombies....

Comments on Doctor Strange sequel: “It’s still kind of early”.

Wow, classic Josh clickbait 👌🏻

@Tasmaniac - the title says "Comments On DOCTOR STRANGE Sequel"

Which is what Elizabeth provided. How is it clickbait? Did you expect her to go into details about the script she read for her part? If so, then that would be an assumption on your part friend

@Vigor - Seriously? Her “comment” was essentially “no comment”. My “assumption” was that there would actually be information in the comment.

@Vigor - @Tasmaniac - I agree with the maniac. If people go to this article to read "comments on Doctor Strange sequel", I believe most would want and expect "more" than "it's still kind of early".

AND, I believe that Josh, being a fan of these characters, F'ing knows this. He "knows" that people would click on his "bait" in order to find out MORE than just "it's still kind of early". Who the F would want to go through the trouble to find nothing? And Josh knows this.

Now, as you stated (more or less), expecting details that are never allowed out this early in the production prosses is some pretty far-reaching assuming (for those who actually assumed that). In that case you are correct. But, I don't believe anyone actually assumed those kind of details.

You both have valid points, but I don't believe the maniac was assuming what you stated. But, more or less, we should have gotten more than just "it's early". Why the F would anyone want to click on a link to find out nothing.

So, yes, "click-bait". We were baited, in order to click, and found nothing in comments that we wanted. You could argue that, as this stage of the game, it went without saying, but, still, sometimes we get little nuggets of information, so we click. But, this, we got nothing that was "hinted" at. But, we "did" get click-bait.

Ah yes, the recent event, 2005's "House of M".
