Not Marvel Studio, But Director Joss Whedon Had Planned Scarlet Witch and Vision's Romance In Long Term

Los Angeles, May 24, 2021: Marvel Studios' recently released television miniseries, WandaVision on Disney+, is one of the most-watched series in the world. The 9 episode show featured Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as Wanda Maximoff and the Vision - the characters from Marvel Comics. ## Even though the series was highly successful, it wasn't in Marvel's initial plan, actually, it was never in Studios' long-term plan to develop or make any series or film on Wanda and Vision. According to Olsen, it was director Joss Whedon, who put forth the idea of the persevering romance between Wanda and Vision, during the "Avengers: Age of Ultron", which introduces the future Scarlet Witch (Olsen) and the synthetic android (Bettany). ## "No", Olsen answered during a WandaVision Q&A with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation when asked if the two actors knew their Ultron pairing would turn into a long-lasting relationship between Wanda and Vision (via comicbook). "Joss Whedon wanted to suggest it in Ultron, not knowing if Marvel would pick up what he was throwing down. And they did, luckily, but it wasn't really part of a long plan other than Joss's, I think, personal desire". ## "So we sprinkled in stolen glances and then [Vision] obviously was the person to rescue me when I kind of give up at the end", Olsen added about Vision swooping in to save Wanda from a collapsing Sokovia in the climax of Ultron.## WandaVision show is all about love and grief. It begins three weeks after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Wanda Maximoff and Vision are living an idyllic suburban life in the town of Westview, New Jersey, trying to conceal their true natures, only to realize that things are not as they seem. ## Created by Jac Schaeffer, WandaVision won multiple awards in the recently concluded MTV Movie & TV Awards. It won the award for the best show while Kathryn Hahn, who played Agatha Harkness, won the Best Villain. Elizabeth Olsen declared Best Performance in a Show and her fight with Hahn won the Best Fight award. ## Stay tuned...

DC's Justice League Director Zack Snyder Names His Favorite Marvel Characters

Los Angeles, May 24, 2021: Director Zack Snyder holds a special place in Warner Bros' films, for whom, he has directed movies like Justice League, both the theatrical version he started and his own version that was recently released on HBO Max, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. ## Snyder has been a big part of studios' attempt to create its own cinematic universe to rival Marvel Studios, which has been the home of Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, and other characters of Marvel Comics. However, despite his close association with DC films, Snyder has also been a fan of Marvel. He's a fan of the studios' Superhero universe, and he's a big fan of two Avengers. ## Zack Snyder recently took part in a video for Wired where he answered some of the interesting questions asked by looking at how Google queries would autocomplete. Among the so many questions, Snyder was also asked whether he even likes Marvel, and surprisingly (not), he said yes and also mentioned two characters that he likes. ## "I do like Marvel. I love Marvel movies and I like Marvel comics. The Hulk has always been one of my favorites forever. And Iron Man", Snyder answered. Those who have followed Marvel movies would dare to disagree with Snyder with his picks of Marvel superheroes. ## There is certainly a rivalry between Marvel and DC, but it has largely been a friendly one so far. Zachery Levi played a character in Thor: The Dark World before going on to play Shazam!. James Gunn directed two Guardians of the Galaxy movies but has also now directed The Suicide Squad which comes out later this year. ## No doubt, there are fans who strictly following either Marvel or DC, but most of the movie lovers have a mutual feeling and excitement for both the comic books, including myself, who has been a big fan of Wonder Woman as well as Captain Marvel!
