The Vision Actor on WandaVision's Forgotten Cousin

In a recent interview, Paul Bettany, the actor who played the role of Vision in Marvel Studios' Disney+ series WandaVision, shared his thoughts on what makes the show unique and memorable. He joked that the show was like being 'the forgotten cousin' to the Marvel Universe, implying that it didn't quite fit into the typical superhero mold.

But why did Bettany feel this way? According to Elizabeth Olsen, who played the role of Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision, both she and Bettany loved playing in the sitcom sandbox created by the show's writers. However, Bettany often joked about the show's unique tone and style, saying that it was a riskier choice compared to other Marvel shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which featured globe-trotting superhero adventures.

Despite its unconventional approach, WandaVision received widespread critical acclaim and helped make the Scarlet Witch a household name in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It's no surprise then that there are rumors of a potential spin-off series, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, which would focus on the character of Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn.

A multiverse-sprawling adventure like this could be an exciting direction for Wanda's return to the MCU. However, it's also possible that a more personal story, similar to what was explored in WandaVision, could be just as effective. After all, the show's unique blend of sitcom-style humor and dramatic superhero moments helped make it stand out from other Marvel shows.

Ultimately, the success or failure of any potential spin-off series will depend on how well it is received by audiences and critics alike. But one thing is certain - WandaVision has left a lasting impact on the MCU, and its influence can be seen in many of the shows and movies that have followed in its wake.
