Kevin Feige<\/strong>\u00a0couldn\u2019t have anticipated back in 2017 that the little TV experiment that he dreamed up \u2013 a send-up of classic sitcoms revolving around Elizabeth Olsen<\/strong>\u2018s Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany<\/strong>\u2018s Vision \u2013 would become the auspicious introduction to Marvel Studios\u2019 \u201cPhase 4,\u201d the next era of stories after the decade-long \u201cInfinity Saga.\u201d But perhaps it\u2019s app<\/a>ropriate that \u201cMarvel Studios\u2019 first foray into longform narrative storytelling TV is an homage to TV, [and] is something that could not have been done as a movie,\u201d Feige told \/Film in an interview ahead of the Disney+ debut of\u00a0WandaVision<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd\u2026I hope all of the shows we\u2019re doing currently for Disney+, and all the movies<\/a> we\u2019ve ever made, try to showcase an advancement and a progression in storytelling, to the types of stories that we can tell with these characters in Marvel Studios,\u201d Feige added.<\/p>\n

Those stories may lead into more Marvel Cinematic Universe films \u2014 it has been confirmed\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> will lead into\u00a0Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em>, with the confirmed appearance of Olsen\u2019s Wanda in the\u00a0Doctor Strange<\/em> sequel \u2014 or into further seasons of these Disney+ shows.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a combination of both of those things just based on where the story is taking us,\u201d Feige said.<\/p>\n

Read on for our full interview with Feige on\u00a0WandaVision<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You are a professed fan of classic sitcoms and helped spearhead WandaVision<\/em>\u2018s sitcom premise. Why was it WandaVision<\/em> in particular the project that you wanted to be the show homaging classic sitcoms and were there any other characters that you considered for this approach?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, that this was the only one it was a convergence of many things. We were finishing the Infinity<\/em> Saga, which was an amazingly fun but stressful time for me and for all of us in Marvel Studios, and I was finding comfort, as I had in my childhood, with these old shows that introduce a big problem that\u2019s solved in 30 minutes \u2014 in a usually less than believable away, but it still was a comfort. And at the same time having been told about the opportunity of Disney+, and that they want us to think about shows for it, which led quickly to a desire to see much more innovation.
\nWe just scratched the surface in that relationship and those stories in the movies, and [Elizabeth Olsen] and Paul [Bettany] are such amazing actors we wanted to see more of them. And all during that time, there was a series called \u201cVision\u201d [by Tom King and Mike Del Mundo] that was on my desk, which was not about Wanda and Vision, it was about Vision moving to the suburbs having a family. And the covers, in particular, were quite interesting almost these Norman Rockwell meets Leave it to Beaver<\/em> covers \u2014 white picket fences and mailboxes with Vision standing in the middle of it \u2014 and all of that sort of came together into what became WandaVision<\/em>. It mainly came together because I shared just these initial concepts with our executive producer Mary Livanos<\/strong>, and then our head writer Jac Schaeffer<\/strong>, who then figured out how to make an amazing show. And then when you add our director Matt Shakman<\/strong> to the mix, who I think was born \u2014 between being in sitcoms as a kid and directing gigantic episodes of Game<\/a> of Thrones<\/em>\u00a0and other things \u2014 was born to bring the series to life.<\/p>\n

So you spoke of the \u201cVision\u201d comic as being a particularly strong influence on the style and the genre of WandaVision<\/em>. Are there any other comic runs that you referenced, or drew inspiration from, for WandaVision<\/em>?\u00a0Like it\u2019s been widely speculated that for example, \u201cHouse of M\u201d was one such comic that Olsen was given as reference first for her character, and that you may have suggested would also lead into WandaVision<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a big packet, I think it was put together for the press, as we often did, that included both of those things mentioned as inspiration. As with many of the characters that had been around as long as Wanda and Vision has, some of the inspiration goes back 40 years, 50 years. And then more recently, with the two that you named. As with the best of our of our stories, we pull inspiration from various storylines and eras of the characters to build something new.<\/p>\n

Because of circumstance,\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> has become our introduction to Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But by that happy accident, would you consider WandaVision<\/em> a good sign of things to come in Marvel\u2019s Phase 4?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For sure. I think the happy accident part is\u2026[that] Marvel Studios\u2019 first foray into longform narrative storytelling TV is an homage to TV, [and] is something that could not have been done as a movie. It only works in this medium. So that was great. And I think, as I hope, all of the shows we\u2019re doing currently for Disney+, and all the movies we\u2019ve ever made, try to showcase an advancement and a progression in storytelling, to the types of stories that we can tell with these characters in Marvel Studios. A black and white, 4\u00d73 aspect ratio sitcom is the boldest, sort of most obvious version of the different tone. But all of the shows we\u2019re working on, and the many movies we\u2019re making now, I think are all exploring different styles and genre. And I want to keep expanding what the definition of a Marvel Studios show or movie is, and can be.
\nSo we know that classic sitcoms influence WandaVision<\/em>. Are there any shows or other titles that influence or are used as reference points for other upcoming Disney+ Marvel titles like Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> and Loki<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about other series in particular, but genres, for sure. The buddy genre, the action genre. We said that Loki<\/em>\u00a0can\u00a0qualify and has some aspects of a crime thriller. That\u2019s what\u2019s fun about about all of these projects, but particularly Disney+ ones, that we have the liberty of keep expanding the type of storytelling. And I\u2019m also excited about how unique all of our upcoming films are, and all of the upcoming Disney plus series between WandaVision,<\/em> Falcon and the Winter Soldier,\u00a0Loki, What If<\/em>, to\u00a0Ms. Marvel<\/em> and Hawkeye<\/em>. Those are six very different shows that all happened to have characters that originated in the Marvel movies.<\/p>\n

Can you tell me a little bit about Marvel\u2019s plan for television? Is the plan to approach the series like movies told over a season like miniseries, or is there a plan for multiple seasons of any of the upcoming titles that you just mentioned?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a combination. I won\u2019t say which is which right now, but it\u2019s a combination of both of those things just based on where the story is taking us. We\u2019ve already announced that Wanda\u2019s story will take us into the next Doctor Strange<\/em> movie,\u00a0and Monica Rambeau\u2019s character story will take us into the second Captain Marvel<\/em> film.<\/p>\n

That leads me to my next question. Can you tell me how WandaVision<\/em> will connect to the wider MCU like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em> in which Elizabeth Olsen\u2019s Wanda is confirmed to appear? Is there anything that you can say about how it leads into it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not without spoiling everything. Not without spoiling the fun. But the fact is that yes, Wanda is in it. And as I just said, Teyonah Parris<\/strong>\u2018 Monica Rambeau, we meet as a little girl in Captain Marvel,<\/em> we will meet as Teyonah Parris in WandaVision<\/em>, which also then goes into Captain Marvel 2<\/em>.
\nFair. So, one thing we noticed is that the first few Marvel series on Disney+ have one director for all the episodes like Matt Shakman for WandaVision<\/em>, while later announced shows like Hawkeye<\/em> and Miss Marvel <\/em>have several directors across the episodes. Why was it important for shows like WandaVision<\/em>, Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em>, and Loki<\/em> to have single directors, while others do not? Or is that just coincidence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a combination of the logistics of all those particular shows and just the way the stories unfold. And also our own our own internal learnings of making longform television, which Marvel Studios hadn\u2019t done before. So I think\u2026it will continue to vary as we keep making \u2014 hopefully keep making \u2014 more shows.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve spoken a bit about future projects that you are involved with under the Disney umbrella, and I wanted to ask \u2014 I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ll be able to answer this \u2014 but can you tell us anything about the Star Wars movie that you were reported to be developing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. No, everything that\u2019s been heard about so far are all rumors and leaks. Disney\u2019s very very good about official announcements, as you saw on our Disney investor day, Disney\u2019s not shy about making things official when there are things to be made official. And there were a lot of things made official then.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The first two episodes of WandaVision<\/em> will premiere on Disney+ on January 15, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
