With WandaVision getting ready to premiere this weekend on Disney+, I recently got to speak with Kathryn Hahn about joining the MCU. During the interview she revealed how much Marvel told her about the character she’d be playing, how she never expected her introduction in the Marvel universe would be a 50s black and white sitcom, what surprised her about making WandaVision, and more. In addition, she mentioned that she’d love to return in the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel and what fans can look forward to in Central Park season two.
As most of you know from the trailers, WandaVision takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame, focusing on Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olson) and Vision (Paul Bettany). I was able to see the first three episodes and they all take place in an alternate version of a classic sitcom. The first episode starts in the 1950’s and each one pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on bit by bit. You’ve definitely never seen anything like WandaVision and I cannot wait to see where it’s all going. The series also stars Kathryn Hahn, Kat Dennings, Teyonah Parris, and Randall Park. For more on WandaVision here's the latest footage and details on the show's various theme songs.
Check out what Kathryn Hahn had to say below and further down is exactly what we talked about. WandaVision premieres with the first two episodes January 15th and then is weekly until it’s over.
