Prior to the announcement of Disney Plus, we knew absolutely no details of the WandaVision series. Then we got the unexpected title. But most recently, the cast has been opening up about the series, giving us more important details. In the same interview with Variety, Olsen revealed that the series will take place in the 1950s. According to Olsen, Disney showed off a photo of her and Paul Bettany (Vision) at the Disney Plus launch event. A fair warning, we're about to get into Avengers: Endgame spoilers. Proceed to the "cast" section to avoid them. Endgame introduced time travel to the MCU for the first time. This is likely how Scarlet Witch and Vision make it to the 1950s. More so, last we saw of Vision, he was killed by Thanos at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. It'll be intersting to see how Marvel brings him back through time travel or possibly with Shuri saving some of his consciousness during the events of Infinity War. Neither has been confirmed, but those seem like the most plausible ways to bring back Vision. Beyond that, Olsen also revealed the series will be six hours long. If we're using normal logic, that likely means it'll span six episodes and expand their budding relationship.
