Een groepje journalisten en recensenten heeft het voorrecht gehad om alvast enkele afleveringen van ‘WandaVision’ te bewonderen. De eerste reacties op de nieuwe Marvel-serie, die op 15 januari in première gaat op Disney Plus, mogen we gerust euforisch noemen.
Grappig, origineel, verfrissend, gewaagd, vreemd en briljant. Het zijn enkele woorden die Twitteraars gebruiken om ‘WandaVision’ te omschrijven.
‘WandaVision’
‘WandaVision’ van Marvel Studios combineert de klassieke sitcom en het Marvel Cinematic Universe. In deze serie leiden Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) en Vision (Paul Bettany) een ideaal burgerlijk leventje in het kleine stadje Westview, wanneer zij beginnen te vermoeden dat alles niet is wat het lijkt.
De Marvel-serie is bedacht door Jac Schaeffer, die ook de schrijver en producent is, samen met Marvel-baas Kevin Feige. Het geheel is geregisseerd door Matt Shakman.
‘WandaVision’ is de eerste serie in Fase 4 van het Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). De serie bestaat uit negen afleveringen, met een totale speelduur van zes uur. De eerste twee afleveringen zijn vanaf 15 januari te zien op Disney Plus. Daarna volgen wekelijks nieuwe afleveringen op de vrijdagen, met de seizoensfinale op 15 maart.
Lees hieronder een greep uit de euforische Twitter-reacties op ‘WandaVision’. De trailers van de serie vind je onderaan.
We knew #WandaVision was going to offer a much different view of the MCU, and boy does it. Much of the sitcom setup of the show makes the reality of the situation moments incredibly tense and gripping.

#WandaVision is truly unlike anything the MCU has put out before. I can’t emphasize that enough.
It is a blast to watch. It is so committed to the sitcom structure of story telling that it feels like a bold risk – but it pays off and builds a mystery.
It is awesome. pic.twitter.com/NbGBsGLfmc

Have seen the first 3 episodes of #Wandavision and *LOVE* how big of a swing @MarvelStudios is taking with the series. The reason the #MCU is king of the hill is @Kevfeige’s amazing leadership and willingness to take risks like what you'll see in 'Wandavision'. pic.twitter.com/EgUUUxXudh

WandaVision is everything I wanted it to be and more. It is not a parody or snarky take on classic sitcoms. It’s the most respectful, sincere celebration of that art form that I’ve seen…. ever?

I saw three episodes of WandaVision and I am hooked. They really go for it.
This has to be one of the most ambitious (also weirdest) things Marvel’s ever done, and this is the studio that had 300 superheroes in their last movie.— Kevin Polowy (@djkevlar) January 9, 2021

WANDAVISION is a tantalizing experiment with shades of Lynch that is almost irritatingly dedicated to slowly playing out its mystery. (I wanted more!) But one surprise: It's funny! The jokes feel at home in the I LOVE LUCY/BEWITCHED-homaging world, Paul Bettany is a comedy star pic.twitter.com/ulKuupVgmH

Watched the first 3 episodes of #WandaVision yesterday. It's weird & hilarious in ways Marvel has no right attempting, but they nail it anyway. Then it sprinkles in just enough mystery to keep you speculating and fascinated. I'm so excited to see how far it can go. pic.twitter.com/7PIFQiUNxF

Saw the first 3 episodes of #WandaVision & fell madly in love with the style, tone & storytelling. A truly unique & interesting setting to see two extremely powerful superheroes. So much charm, danger & great easter eggs. Fantastic practical effects & aspect ratio shifts. Love. pic.twitter.com/MUD0qpZNQx

Marvel has never done anything at all like #WandaVision and I am FLOORED by the show’s imagination, creativity and risks. Each episode BRILLIANTLY recreates a classic sitcom model, but also feeds into a much larger mystery with HUGE Marvel ramifications. I love this so much! pic.twitter.com/rPURhyqaCt

Watched the first 3 eps of #WandaVision (2X) & it is a jewel (um or stone). It is zany, precise, fresh, funny (cue laugh track) & counterintuitive. The bigger picture will be revealed (we only get glimpses so far that all isn't right in Westview) but I'm in no rush to leave town. pic.twitter.com/cyEkWkh1Ed
