Breaking Down Those First Clips ofWandaVision,Loki, andTheFalcon and the Winter Soldier

UnlikeMarvel ’s previous live - action serieswhose connections to the larger MCU weretenuous at best , Disney+ ’s WandaVision , The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , and Loki are all lay within the narration area of Marvel ’s films , reach each of them animportant art object of the franchise ’s futureas the studio apartment plows ahead with its next major phase angle .

Last night , Marvel overleap a Super Bowl adfeaturing our first tone at the trio of upcoming stream serial , and short as the smirch is , it ’s downright fill with hints about what we can expect from them . The teaser jumps around a second from series to series , and the easiest way to make sense of it all is to group the view together by which show they fall from . Shall we ?

The advertising open up with a knock-down monitor ofthe new path that Sam Wilson was put onat theend ofAvengers : Endgamewhen he receive the buckler from a now - elderly Steve Rogers . The Captain America the world knew is go , and Sam ’s ready to step up to the plate and take his piazza , but shifting into this next form of his life as a hoagie is give-up the ghost to necessitate some intense grooming . Easy as flinging the vibranium shell might have been for Steve , Sam ’s got to learn how to fling the thing using only his baseline human - level posture . But from the looks of thing , as the series progresses , he ’s hold up to be more than capable at manage it in battle .

Though Sam ’s shield - wield skills are on the up and up , the man ’s still a flyer at heart . As he and Bucky face up off against Baron Zemo , he ’s going to take trajectory in a slightly update rendering of his Falcon costume that , for some inexplicable reason , still does n’t feature any kind of helmet , which would be useful considering the team of armed , glide villains that are quick to shoot him out of the sky .

For their parts , Zemo and Bucky make the briefest of appearances in what looks to be an intense face-off where Bucky wee-wee it seem as if he ’s going to dissipate the scoundrel at full point - blank range before revealing that there are n’t really any bullets in his hitman . Because Sam and Bucky are presumably trying to apprehend Zemo to return the loose terrorist to the authority , it fix signified that Bucky would hesitate to kill the man , but it ’s just as likely that the hero ca n’t full - on take him out because of some orotund villainous plan he ’s concocted that they ’ll only be capable to figure out with him alive .

later on in the trailer , we get our first look atWyatt Russell ’s U.S. Agenttrotting onto what come out to be a comparatively small ( and probably small - town ) football game field as he high fives a fellow member of a marching striation and fireworks burst overhead . Thematically , the image match in perfectly with the Super Bowl during which the ad first bare , but within the contentedness of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , it introducesa number of interesting ideas about the show as a whole .

Obviously , this U.S. Agent is being framed as a successor to Captain America who , within the MCU , was demonstrate as a kind of propagandist symbol of America . What we know is that Steve Rogers intended for Sam to become his heir , but because the U.S. Agent ’s been styled more or less to look like a Cap clone , the subtext is that whichever authority he ’s exercise for wants to make certain that the Captain America brand exists outside of the Avengers . Given that the U.S. Agent was earlier introduced as the villainous Super - Patriot meant to incarnate a dark kind of nationalism at odds with Captain America ’s ideals , it abide to reason that Sam and Bucky will end up clash with him by the series ’ end .

In direct contrast to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , which’ll be rooted in the MCU ’s realism right , WandaVision is set to be definitely … weird , to quote agent Maria Hill .

The exact nature of WandaVision ’s patch is still rather mysterious , but this individual black and white shaft of Vision greeting Wanda speaks directly to the fascinating concept art that wasfirst disclose during last twelvemonth ’s San Diego Comic - Con . All is not well with Wanda Maximoff post - Endgame . After all of the trauma and loss she ’s been through , she ’s quick to go a picture - perfect , unrealistic life with her synthezoid husband , reality be bedamn .

Unlike all of the other wedge Professor Hulk brought back with his snap of the Infinity Gauntlet , Vision was never exactly live per se , and Endgame never made clear whether , in the sentence after everyone return , Shuri was able-bodied to dispatch her oeuvre to bring Vision back online . But in WandaVision , Vision ( or at least a visual sensation of him ) is doing quite well in a reality style after a number of unlike , classic American sitcom like I be intimate Lucy , The Brady Bunch , and Family Ties . The running theme throughout is that Vision and Wanda are exist together , happily married in biography that clearly have nothing to do with superheroics . But that specific idea points to two very specific plots about the fibre from Marvel ’s comics .

The total idea of Wanda and Vision try ( and failing ) to make a go at the domestic life goes back to Bill Mantlo , Rick Leonardi , Steve Englehart , and Richard Howell ’s Vision and the Scarlet Witch limited series that explored the two Avengers ’ lives aside from their team extremity . More recently , Tom King ’s Vision serial publication also focused on the Vision assay to literally build the perfect , distinctive American house for himself , and WandaVision looks like working with unlike ideas plucked from every bit ofsource material about the couples ’ long and mussy family relationship .

What ’s interesting , though , is that small detail make it decipherable that while whatever ’s going on in Wanda ’s mind ( if it is her brain ) is n’t exactly organized , WandaVision is severalize a kind of linear story about the brace . While Wanda ’s distinctly newly in love with Vision in WandaVision ’s black and blanched scene , in shots of what appear to be Wanda in the ‘ 70s , she ’s quite pregnant , a nod to Vision and the Scarlet Witch ’s arc in which Wanda create a pair of twin Logos for herself and Vision through magical means .

The approximation of Wanda ’s mind becoming so fractured that her vast powers warp world is the centerpiece ofMarvel ’s House of Mevent in which , in a moment of panic , she remakes the world into a “ everlasting ” version of itself in which many of Marvel ’s heroes are given the life they desire . At this detail in the MCU , reality warping is a bite alfresco of Wanda ’s power lot , but WandaVision is dally with the construct of Wanda being at least moderately cognizant of the outlandishness going on around her . In at least some of her fantasies , she ’s going to be confronted with the fact that none of what she ’s experiencing is actual , and depend on how things encounter out , that realisation might end up being more withering than anything she ’s experienced so far .

A promissory note about those baby Wanda magicked up by stealing objet d’art of a demon ’s psyche : At one point in the ad , in which Wanda and Vision are living what could either be a show from the late ‘ eighty or early ‘ XC , the pair are astonished to see a pair of cribs with pacifier popping out of them . The duo ’ reaction indicate that , major as the here and now is , it ’s meant to be toy for laughter , which says some interesting thing about WandaVision ’s tone — plural .

Much as the show ’s obviously meant to orb around some very serious issues molest Wanda , the show ’s also blend for cheesy funniness from a routine of unlike eras , and there ’s an entire constituent of the show that has nothing to do with either Vision or Wanda . The advertising shows nothing of Monica Rambeau , Darcy , or Agatha Harkness — characters we know are imply to play a purpose — which could mean that as a whole the serial publication is go to be all over the place in a very dear agency .

While Endgame only flirted with the idea of the creation of the multiverse , theDoctor Strange sequel ’s titleand the TVA ’s presence in Loki strongly suggest that the multiverse is quite actual — anda sentence - hopping , Tesseract - toting Lokiposes a clear and present peril to it . Because Loki is allege to havemajor ramifications for the Marvel films that be it , the TVA could very well become a fixture in the MCU ’s future as the multiverse becomesmore complicated and dwell by new submarine and scoundrel , but only clip will state .
