What do Urkel,\u00a0Full House<\/em>, The Twilight Zone<\/em>, and\u00a0The Mandalorian<\/em> all have in common? They all paved the way, in some fashion, for\u00a0WandaVision<\/em><\/strong>, the upcoming Marvel series<\/a> on Disney+ and the unlikely first entry in Marvel\u2019s Phase 4.<\/p>\n

The cast and creative team behind\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> gathered for a virtual press conference moderated by Jaleel White of\u00a0Family Matters<\/em> fame to dive into Marvel\u2019s big TV experiment \u2014 a love letter to sitcoms\u00a0that will act as a test run for Marvel\u2019s foray into long-form storytelling.<\/p>\n

Why was Jaleel White the moderator for a\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> panel, of all people? Aside from the obvious answer of getting a sitcom icon to moderate a panel for a superhero series that pays loving homage to sitcoms, White goes way back with the director of\u00a0WandaVision<\/em>, Matt Shakman<\/strong>, who has his own history acting in sitcoms back in the \u201980s. White and Shakman both starred in the short-lived Disney Channel sitcom\u00a0Good Morning, Miss Bliss<\/em>, which would end up becoming retooled as the popular show\u00a0Saved by the Bell<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Upon learning this,\u00a0the resounding phrase among the cast and creative team at the conference was \u201cI can\u2019t believe we never knew that!\u201d The assembled talent included stars\u00a0Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Kathryn Hahn, Teyonah Parris<\/strong>, writer\u00a0Jac Schaeffer<\/strong>, and Marvel chief\u00a0Kevin Feige<\/strong>. But the unexpected may be par for the course for\u00a0WandaVision<\/em>, which takes on the auspicious task of being the first Marvel project after\u00a0Avengers: Endgame<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and Spider-Man: Far From Home<\/em>, kicking off Marvel\u2019s Phase 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, the original plan was Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/em> was going to debut first,\u201d Feige said. \u201cLast year, followed very soon behind with WandaVision<\/em>. [But] part of having a long lead plan is having the ability and the ideas of how to shuffle, should the need arise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feige continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying we were prepped for a global pandemic. But we\u2019ve always over the past 12, 15 years of Marvel Studios been able to shuffle around. This required no shuffling so ever, in terms of the creative logistics, just in terms of production. And as is often the case when you\u2019re throwing curveballs\u2026 the unexpected has often served Marvel Studios well, and it has served as well in this case. Because this show being our first one, I love how bold it is, I love how different is, and I love that it is something you can only see on a Disney+, that we have things that you will only be able to see initially in theaters, we have things that could end and are made for that. And this is very much made to to be seen, week after week, on television, which is very different for us, it was very fun and it is as bold as it comes thanks to everyone, you\u2019re looking at here today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The weekly release may not have been possible were it not for the success of another Disney+ show, The Mandalorian.\u00a0<\/em>WandaVision<\/em> was well underway long before the\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> series debuted on the streaming service, but \u201cthere is lots and lots of The Mandalorian<\/em> that has inspired us at Marvel Studios,\u201d Feige said. \u201cThe least of which is the Stagecraft technology<\/a> that they pioneered that we\u2019re using on some upcoming projects,\u201d he continued, referring to the groundbreaking tech that allows a full-scale Star Wars<\/em> show to look as amazing as the movies.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0The Mandalorian<\/em>\u2018s success as a weekly release, bringing back the water cooler discussions that used to be common around TV, encouraged the weekly release of Marvel shows like\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> and other upcoming series, Feige said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey certainly showed that they can do that spectacularly on Disney+ with The Mandalorian<\/em> with the fun week-to-week discussion,\u201d Feige said.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> has to offer something interesting to keep those kind of weekly water cooler discussions going. However, its experimental sitcom-based storytelling merged with an overarching mystery may be able to achieve just that. The series has already built up a lot of interest for its unique send-up of classic sitcom tropes, but the cast and crew want to assure fans that they\u2019re dedicated to not not satirizing the genre, but crafting a love letter to shows like Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, I Love Lucy<\/em>, and a whole lot of Dick van Dyke<\/em>. That last one refers to both the show and its lead actor, as Bettany revealed that his take on the bumbling suburban Vision was mostly inspired by van Dyke. The dedication to the sitcom formula includes the technology used for certain effects, the live audience for the first episode (\u201cIt was so nerve-wracking!\u201d Olsen said), and the specific movements of the characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way the way women moved throughout the decades changes so much when it comes to what society wants from them,\u201d Olsen said of having to nail the physical tics as well as the physical comedy as Wanda Maximoff. \u201cAnd so, Jac did write in quite a few nods to how those were evolving throughout the decades\u2026and that would adjust how someone moves through space\u2026 But we also have to remember that we\u2019re not depicting an honest reality of the 60s or the 70s we were depicting reality, which is its own set of rules.\u201d
\nAdded Hahn, who plays the couple\u2019s \u201cnosy neighbor\u201d Agnes: \u201cI feel like the sitcom is always represented as this kind of like aspirational view this kind of comfortable ideal. And so not only are we trying to do the tics, we\u2019re just trying to be to just kind of live within each decade. But kind of like presents this kind of like this kind of comfortable ideal, like you know the structure of a sitcom which is the setup, the misunderstanding, and the resolution. It\u2019s so comforting.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what about when the comforting becomes\u2026less comfortable? There\u2019s obviously something wrong in\u00a0WandaVision<\/em>\u2018s cheery vision of black-and-white suburbia, and Shakman and Schaeffer both drew from another \u201960s TV staple to telegraph the uneasy mystery lingering behind those white picket fences. Shakman said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen something shifted from, say, a Dick Van Dyke<\/em> or an I Love Lucy<\/em> style into something that was outside of that, it was going into kind of The Twilight Zone<\/em>.\u00a0You know, we were thinking about what were the purity added shows that had addressed, you know the odd and the strange, and how could we embrace that so that\u2019s a little bit about how we app<\/a>roached the shooting of it certainly and we\u2019ll look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Schaeffer added: \u201cThe Twilight Zone<\/em>\u00a0is an enormous influence on me, personally, I really think that\u2019s actually kind of how I learned [storytelling]. And it was so incredibly deft at that turn, right you think you\u2019re in one sort of thing, and then suddenly it\u2019s flipped on its head. So we were all incredibly enamored of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But these heel-turns weren\u2019t always completely based in\u00a0Twilight Zone<\/em>-inspired mystery.\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> also takes a cue from contemporary dramas. \u201cI think there are a lot of current shows right now,\u201d\u00a0Schaeffer said, \u201clike prestige series that are doing this very exciting thing where you watch a couple episodes and you think the show was one thing and then, and then by episode four or five, it flips the script so that\u2019s really where the more contemporary references come in in terms of boundary pushing in genre.\u201d<\/p>\n

That kind of boundary pushing is where Feige hopes\u00a0WandaVision<\/em> will help lead the way, in terms of Marvel\u2019s foray into TV and long-form storytelling.
\n\u201cThis was our test run,\u201d Feige said. \u201cThis was Marvel Studios \u2014 Marvel, of course has had a lot of good successful TV in the past \u2014 this was Marvel Studios\u2019 first foray [into TV] directly, with cast and amazing characters that we\u2019ve seen in movies coming on to television. And the idea, always was, yes, to do something that could not be done as a feature, that plays with a format and plays within the medium.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feige concluded, \u201cBecause of what Jac and Matt did, we were able to turn up a wacky idea into a spectacular show, and we\u2019ve got lots of other things we\u2019ve announced that [are] coming up.\u201d<\/p>\n
