Marvel's 'WandaVision' premieres on Disney+ on January 15th

The six-episode show was previously scheduled to debut sometime this year, but WandaVision will still arrive on Disney+ ahead of any other Marvel Studios series and before its original window of next spring. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was supposed to be first up, but that has been delayed to 2021.
WandaVision will be the first major MCU project to drop since 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home. It focuses on the relationship between Scarlett Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) after the events of Avengers: Endgame. It’ll have an unusual aesthetic for a modern TV show — the first episode was filmed in black and white in front of a studio audience.
The series features some other familiar MCU characters, including Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) from Thor and Thor: The Dark World and Agent Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) from Ant-Man and The Wasp. The always-great Kathryn Hahn is also part of the cast, as is Teyonah Parris, who plays the adult version of Monica Rambeau, who was featured in Captain Marvel.
