Taking place just after 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios’ WandaVision is the first MCU series to stream on Disney+. It was a runaway success, demonstrating that a collaboration between the two sister companies is a match made in heaven.

WandaVision‘s success is something that Feige is extremely proud of, saying:
It has been a burst of creative energy for me… to deeply explore more characters in our universe, and to do so in a very different and unique way, which I hope all of you can tell from our first streaming series WandaVision…
Feige said he enjoyed staying up to watch the series in “real-time,” adding that WandaVision unveiled “very much in the way we hoped it would, that we designed the series to provide a dialogue week to week, knowing that we were going to release them each week by week.”

The plan for the MCU shows is for them to lead straight into the films like 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (which the studio has already confirmed will also star Olsen as the Scarlet Witch).

In The Companion interview, Feige added that “the fun of the MCU is, obviously, all of the crossover that we can do between series, between films.”
Feige Hints At Possible Future Seasons
In addition to talking about WandaVision, Feige discussed the future of Marvel’s Disney+ shows, hinting at some exciting developments.

In speaking about a possible second season for WandaVision, Feige told the science fiction outlet that:
I’ve been at Marvel for too long to say a definite no or definite yes to anything in regards [to] another season of WandaVision but some of the shows that we’re about to start filming, we are keeping in mind a structure that would lead into a Season Two and a Season Three in a more direct way.
Whatever the future holds for the Marvel shows, it’s clear they’ll continue to be high quality.

Feige also promised that the next round of shows, including She-Hulk and Moon Knight, will start filming soon, saying:
Soon after that, we’ll have our first animated series, which is What If …?. We are finishing up Ms. Marvel, and we’re also shooting Hawkeye currently. In a few weeks, we start She-Hulk and a week or so after that, we start Moon Knight in addition to our features.
Wow! True Believers, that’s a lot of Marvel to look forward to in the future! And I, for one, am not fatigued on superheroes! Keep ’em coming!

Luckily, Feige says the studio won’t slow down anytime soon. He believes the Disney+ series will allow Marvel to explore the characters more in-depth, allowing fans to “see how they evolve and change, and see how that interacts with a feature [film], then see how it goes back into a series.”

Did you guys hear about Hayden Christensen? He’s coming back to play Anakin Skywalker again. I guess it’s going to be a series about Obi-Wan Kenobi. I’m really happy with Disney Plus now. I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I was a kid.
