Disney + WandaVision series has been (mostly) a television event for the scarlet witch and her husband synthesized. They have lived all the forced happiness in which the situation comedies of the 50s, 60s and 70s were built, but a clip of this Friday’s episode seems to explore what is behind the TV screen …or rather, what around that.
If you remember at the end of last week’s episode, Teyonah Parris Geraldine he was literally thrown out of the city of Westview — and the mysterious bubble around him — for raising Wanda’s brother and his death at Ultron’s hands. The era of Ultron. This clip, it seems to be set previous to that event, apparently confirms many of the things we already trusted, but we still get a surprise or two.
“Geraldine”, better known in the reality of the Marvel movie universe as Monica Rambeau, adult daughter of Captain MarvelMaria Rambeau and, in the comics, herself a superhero—And SHIELD agent Jimmy Choo (Randall Park) clearly encounters the Westview bubble for the first time here, before Monica, voluntarily or unintentionally, is absorbed by the television reality inside her. And if last week’s necklace tip wasn’t enough, it is worth noting that Monica is with a SWORD logo t-shirt, which presumably means he is part of the Sentient World Observation and Response Department.
SWORD, the extraterrestrial sister agency to SHIELD in comics, he first got his big joke on the MCU at the end of Spider-Man: away from home, with the film apparently insinuating his arrival in the form of a new organization led by Nick Fury and a legion of likeable Skrulls by spacecraft a her post-credits scene. (In fact, I suspect Jimmy has also been transferred to SWORD, if only for simplicity.) Nothing surprising, at least so far.
However, there are some interesting things in the clip. First, there is the triumphant return of Dr. Darcy Lewis, who has gone from being a Jane Foster Fellow in Thor to help SWORD with the WestView situation. And if you look at that wall with the SWORD dossiers on the inhabitants of the city, everyone has an attached driver’s license … except Agnes (Kathryn Hahn) i Dottie (Emma Caufield), the latter seems to have no dossier. Hmm. Also, these licenses are all from New Jersey; at first The vision and the scarlet witch comic series since 1982, the couple moved to the suburbs of Leonia, New Jersey, after marrying and retiring from the Avengers.

Ugh! They are many layers. Not bad for a 53-second clip-slash-trailer! We’ll probably see it and much more tomorrow, when WandaVision returns to the episode 4.
