‘WandaVision,’ explained: An episode-by-episode guide
The first Disney+ original series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “WandaVision” follows superpowered newlyweds starting their life together in a quaint New Jersey suburb.
Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprise their roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision in a series that is as much a tribute to television history as it is their characters’ relationship.
