Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to get underway this year with the release of three new tentpole films and twice as many Disney+ shows. Bringing up the rear on the TV side of things is "Agatha: Coven of Chaos," which rolls cameras in Atlanta next week and is due for a late 2023 release
Ahead of its production start, "Agatha: Coven of Chaos" (formerly titled "Agatha: House of Harkness") has now locked in its directors, according The Hollywood Reporter.
A spin-off of Marvel's very first Disney+ series, "WandaVision," "Agatha: Coven of Chaos" centers on Kathryn Hahn's character, Agatha Harkness, who spent much of her previous screen time disguising herself as Wanda's nosy neighbor, Agnes. It was only toward the end of the seventh episode of "WandaVision" that viewers learned Agnes/Agatha's true witchy nature, to the tune of the Emmy-winning, retro-sitcom jingle "Agatha All Along.

"WandaVision" takes "Twin Peaks" and sticks it in the MCU. The result is that a lot of things don't make sense. Why is Herb (David Payton) using his hedge trimmers to cut through a concrete wall? Why don't Vision (Paul Bettany) and Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) remember when they were married? Why is Wanda suddenly four months pregnant? Why does Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) disappear from a hospital and then reappear five years later? Oh right, we know the answer to that one -- Thanos! Infinity Stones! Exposition!
That's the thing: "WandaVision" is a mash-up of various modes of storytelling. As a result, it's sometimes hard to tell if things don't make sense because of...

“WandaVision” has the chance to dominate the 2021 Emmy nominations judging from its submissions on this year’s Emmy ballots. The show has 45 entries across categories — 46 if you count Best Documentary/Nonfiction Special contender “Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of WandaVision.” Scroll down to see the list.
This is the first TV series set fully in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — as opposed to Netflix shows like “Jessica Jones” and ABC’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” which were more tangentially connected to the MCU. So it has the chance to do for this blockbuster movie franchise what “The Mandalorian” did for “Star Wars” last year when it won seven Emmys out of 15 nominations.

After the largely saccharine nature of the ‘80s episode last week, a pitch-perfect ’90s pastiche of “Malcolm in the Middle” (which actually premiered in 2000) in the sixth episode of “WandaVision” gave way to an eerie atmosphere of mystery and dread as Vision (Paul Bettany) struck out on his own and attempted to figure out what was going on in Westview while Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Pietro (Evan Peters) supervised Tommy and Billy, who’ve begun to exhibit the powers of their comic book counterparts, during Halloween. It was another example of the show’s impressive ability to balance its many stylistic and narrative elements, especially when you consider the seamless transition to the S.W.O.R.D. action going on outside of Westview as well.

This article contains WandaVision episode 3 spoilers.
WandaVision Episode 3
As we saw at the end of last week’s two-episode premiere of WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) had decided to avoid some troubling cracks in her black-and-white sitcom world (like that eerie beekeeper) by sprucing the place up with some color. In episode 3, WandaVision fully embraces the 1970s TV comedy esthetic, complete with crazy hairdos and outfits, brightly lit sets and even a new theme song and credits sequence that all look like they arrived fresh from a Brady Bunch audition.
And let’s also not forget that Wanda is now pregnant, and as episode 3 progresses, so does her pregnancy at alarming speed. As the show opens, Wanda and Vision (Paul Bettany) are finishing up a home visit from the rather obnoxious Dr. Stan Nielsen (Randy Oglesby), who explains that everything seems fine despite Wanda rather abruptly looking like she’s four months pregnant.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched Season 1, Episode 3 of Disney Plus’ “WandaVision.”
The curtain has finally lifted on “WandaVision” — and it’s left us with even more questions. In the final minutes of Episode 3, Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) risked blowing her cover as Geraldine to connect with Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), only to have Wanda seemingly blow Monica out of their sitcom bubble and into the real world. Now we know definitively that Westview really is some kind of militarized simulation, surrounded by some kind of Marvel-y energy field and whole lot of soldiers. Who is running it and why Monica tried to infiltrate it, however, remains tantalizingly out of reach.
This week’s episode stepped into the 1970s kitsch-y modernism of shows like “The Brady Bunch” without seeming to miss a beat from last week, when Wanda discovered she was suddenly and quite noticeably pregnant.

If I were Marvel’s Kevin Feige, I would have launched “WandaVision” with the first three episodes rather than just the two we saw last week, because this week’s ’70s-themed episode, which saw Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) give birth to twins Billy and Tommy less than 24 hours after becoming pregnant, peeled back the facade of a perfect suburban existence to hint at something larger and more serious going on. But before I get into all that, let’s talk about the twins and what this might mean.
Who are Wanda and Vision’s twins, Billy and Tommy?
In the comics, Billy and Tommy were born in “The Vision and the Scarlet Witch”, but because Vision (Paul Bettany) is, you know, not actually human and therefore cannot have children, the boys were magical constructs created by Wanda that had souls formed from a part of the demon Mephisto (don’t ask). Unfortunately,...
