Marvel's WANDAVISION Will Resume Production in July

While Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series WandaVision reportedly wrapped shooting before Hollywood productions were shut down, there’s still some work to be done on the series. According to the Tampa Bay Comic Convention, star Paul Bettany has canceled his planned appearance due to the series going back into production in July.

“We finally received word from Paul Bettany’s representation, and unfortunately Paul had to cancel his appearance at TBCC this year due being called back by Disney for WandaVision filming in July, in Los Angeles. We’re working on guest additions!”

The series has been deep in post-production while productions have been shut down. All of this work has been being done remotely and as they’ve been editing the series, they are realizing that additional footage needs to be shot, which is normal for big high-profile projects like this.

Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprised their roles in the series, which has been described as “a mash-up between American sitcoms throughout the decades and Marvel films with these characters.” It’s also been explained that the story “snowballs into an epic Marvel movie that you’ve grown to know or love.”

The series is also said to start Wanda Maximoff down the path of actually becoming Scarlet Witch and the story it tells will have repercussions for the entire future of the MCU in Phase 4. Many fans believe that is how the film will tie into Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, and will crack open the multiverse.

The series will also feature the Sentient World Observation and Response Department, better known as S.W.O.R.D. which is a subdivision of S.H.I.E.L.D. that deals with alien threats that jeopardize world security. As of right now, it’s still unclear how it will be utilized in the story or what characters will be utilized.

The series also stars Kat Dennings reprising her role as Darcy Lewis, Randall Park returning as FBI Agent Jimmy Woo from Ant-Man and the Wasp. It will also feature MCU newcomers Kathryn Hahn and Teyonah Parris as the grown-up version of Monica Rambeau, a character who first made her appearance in last year’s Captain Marvel.

The series is being developed by Jac Schaeffer (Captain Marvel) who is serving as the series’ producer, showrunner and head writer. Matt Shakman is directing the series.
