Summary
WandaVisionseason 2 received a significant yet disheartening update from director Matt Shakman, who cautioned viewers not to hope for another installment of his hit Disney Plus series.
WandaVisionis one of the most popular MCU shows and provides exhilarating fun for the viewers. The story about Wanda Maximoff’s grief resonated with the viewers and made the series even more appealing, and fans have asked Marvel Studios torenewWandaVisionfor season 2. However, Shakman has broken their hearts by sharing a discouraging update.
During an interview withThe Direct, the 48-year-old director opened up aboutWandaVisionseason 2 and didn’t shy from giving a clear answer to what fans can expect in the future. Shakman noted that he doesn’t think there will be aWandaVisionseason 2 because they always wanted to tell a “specific story” about Wanda,aka the Scarlet Witch, and they did that in Season 1. Shakman said, “I don’t think so, you know, we were telling a very specific story, a complete story; a story about grief, about Wanda’s journey, having lost Vision, and we completed that story. And Jac Schaeffer is an amazing writer who wrote ‘WandaVision’, [and she] has created a show called ‘Agatha’.” On the other hand, Shakman left no stone unturned to clarify thatAgatha: Darkhold Diariesis not a second season ofWandaVision.
[‘Agatha is] not a ‘WandaVision’ Season 2, but it’s definitely existing in that universe, of course, and with some of the characters that you met on that show,Agatha, in particular… So, you know, there are elements of ‘WandaVision’ that are out there still in their own way. But, a properWandaVisionSeason 2, with more sitcom styles, and all of that is definitely not in the cards.
The rumors ofWandaVisionnot getting a second season started floating when Marvel Studios updated the cover of its official timeline book. According to reports, the initial cover had Scarlet Witch in it. However, the production giant updated the cover photo, replacing Wanda with Loki and Sylvie. Regardless of Wanda’s direct return to the MCU,WandaVisioncan persist indirectly through its spiritual successors. Agatha Harkness,WandaVision’s antagonist, willbe part ofAgatha: Darkhold Diaries, extending her storyline. Meanwhile, White Vision, the reborn form of Vision, will take center stage inVision Quest.WandaVisionprovided a comprehensive narrative, connecting Wanda’s journey fromAvengers: EndgametoMultiverse of Madness.
Another aspect that makes the show’s return impossible is how Elisabeth Olsen has already stated that she has noplans to reprise her role as Scarlet Witch. Olsen has been proud of her achievements while playing the character for almost a decade, but it’s time for her to move on and enjoy her other roles. However, there’s no need for concern about the absence ofWandaVisionseason 2 or pre-announced Scarlet Witch appearances. Reports suggest that Wanda might return to the MCU and help her fellow superheroes in the upcomingAvengersmovies:The Kang DynastyandSecret Wars. Fans hope to witness Elizabeth Olsen donning her iconic costume in future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects while desiring a compelling storyline for the character. FollowingMultiverse of Madness, Marvel Studios faces the daunting task of crafting a captivating narrative for this vital and intriguing character. Well, everyone is keeping their fingers crossed for another Scarlet Witch adventure.
