WandaVision Actor Says It's a 'Full-on Action Movie Mixed With Sitcoms'

WandaVision's Teyonah Parris has offered some fresh teases about the upcoming Marvel series, which is expected to start streaming on Disney+ later this year. As Screen Rant reports, Parris, who is making her MCU debut in Marvel's WandaVision, recently sat down with The Undefeated to discuss her exciting new role on the series, playing the grown-up version of Monica Rambeau from Captain Marvel. Parris said that she had always dreamt of playing a superhero, so she couldn't be happier about joining Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany's Vision for the series, which she describes as a "full-on action movie." "I'm so happy to be a part of this universe. And to be Monica Rambeau, she's such a badass in the comics," Parris said of her character, who first appeared in the Marvel universe in 1982's The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16. "I just can't believe that this is happening. This is a full-on action movie, mixed with sitcoms, it's wild. It's wild. I think people will be very excited." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/22/wandavision-trailer-confirms-this-is-the-mcus-house-of-m"] The series is said to be a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision—two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. Series star Paul Bettany previously referred to WandaVision as the "oddest of all the Marvel endeavours so far," calling it a "super avant-garde and weird" project. So we're prepared for something weird but hopefully wonderful when WandaVision premieres on Disney+ later this year.
