While I had figured that would be the case, it's good to have that confirmed. I certainly want a follow-up on Werewolf by Night as well as new content.

You should check out The Spy on Netflix. He plays it completely straight and he’s good
Eh, maybe. I just have way too much to watch anymore so it's unlikely I'll go out of my way for it.
 
If they're doing more Special Presentations, connecting to the last one I'd love to see them go with Man-Thing, specifically him and Howard the Duck because we've seen Seth Green's Howard in several cameos and he's associated with Man-Thing a bit in the comics.

Come on, Marvel, give us "Giant Size Man-Thing" on Disney+ already :lol:
 
I like the idea of a Howard the Duck Special Presentation, after all the cameos it would be nice to see him get his own story.
IGN has a new interview up with the Agatha All Along cast and crew
It sounds like the first episode is going start with a CSI style show with Agatha as one of the cops, before she's freed from Wanda's curse by out mysterious character played by Joe Locke.

My guess, it'll be a "Mare of Easttown" parody like we saw in the trailer. The In-Joke being that was the series that WandaVision went up against for awards.
 
I was thinking of his performance in The Trial of the Chicago 7, but I'm thinking of watching The Spy as well.

It’s one of those nice ‘one season and done’ shows. It tells its story and Cohen is utterly believable in it.

If it helps, there’s also a Star Trek connection. Alexander Siddig features as an antagonist and he’s absolutely terrifying.

I was hoping that wouldn't be the full first episode. The first three episodes of Wandavision are some of the worst things in the MCU in my opinion, terrible parodies of awful old sitcoms with pretty much no actual supernatural elements until the end of episode 3. When I rewatch the show, which I plan to before AAA comes out, I'm going to start on episode 4 (which describes the few important bits of the first three episodes anyway).

Still I can handle one episode, even though its a complete waste of time (based off the trailer I thought the cop stuff was just going to be a cold open or a half episode thing at most).

You spelled "wonderful homages to classic sitcoms" wrong. Not sure how you missed what the role of the sitcom world was in WandaVision, but you did.

You have seriously weird taste, the show referenced in WandaVision are some of the greatest sitcoms of all time. They are pretty much the classic sitcoms for their decades.

Something being old doesn't equal being good, and even if the originals were good that doesn't mean that the Wandavision parodies were any good. That said, who under the age of 60 would willingly watch The Dick Van Dyke Show or I Dream of Jeannie or The Brady Bunch? Maybe if you had nostalgia of watching them in reruns with your parents/grandparents I guess, but they have not stood the test of time. Actually, I don't think my parents or Grandma even like stuff like The Dick Van Dyke Show or Leave it to beaver, and they lived during or (in my parents case) much closer to the time where those shows were relevant. I know both my parents hate The brady Bunch style shows, and they were both around in the 70s when that era of sitcom was on the air. Basically, I'm saying that even a lot of people that lived through those shows didn't like them, and they've gone on to age like milk.

90% of sitcoms are garbage, and I notice that Wandavision never tried to parody I Love Lucy (the only good 50s sitcom) and they had stopped the parodies before getting to the late 70s/into the 80s where you start getting better sitcoms more often (although their focus on "family style" sitcoms means they couldn't have parodied any of the really good sitcoms anyway, the main characters weren't parents with little kids in MASH or Seinfeld or Fraiser [Frederick doesn't count, he was barely a guest character], etc).

As a lover of archive TV, aged a mere 45, with no childhood nostalgia attached at all… me? My wife is the same way and she’s 6 years younger than me.

Yours is not the only perspective. I think I Dream of Jeannie is a fantastic show. Still stands up.

The DIck Van Dyke Show and Bewitched are two shows I am currently watching. Also even if people aren't watching them chances are they once watched them and liked them. Their is plenty of good shows from those days. One being a little show called "Star Trek."

My parents didn’t like Star Trek , which proves my parents didn’t like Star Trek.

I grew up on Nick at Nite in the 80s and 90s so I saw a lot of the shows WandaVision parodied as a kid.

Anyways...

Dafne Keen says she wants to play X-23 for the rest of her life:

“I would 100% do this for the rest of my life,” Keen told Empire. “She’s such a fun character to play emotionally, she’s so demanding physically, which is something I love doing. I’d kill to do it again.”​

Are you listening, Kevin Feige?

MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
