But the idea of a single, long arc extending across multiple tentpole movies (and TV shows, books, comics, and games) is an innovation of the last couple decades. The big comic book companies all have their own sprawling metastatic story lines. The idea of an internally consistent universe spanning multiple books or TV shows dates back to at least the dime novels of the late 19th century-or the interlocking mythologies of the ancient Greeks, if you want to be that guy. It is, as Thanos would’ve put it, inevitable. Multiverses come, but they also go-usually in a cataclysmic pendulum-swing of epic violence.

Lo! There shall arrive a herald! (Pretend I have silver skin and a cosmic surfboard, or ride a dimension-warping chair-makes work-from-home super easy.)

Usually the characters on the show have the manners not to notice. As the scientist Darcy Lewis (played by Kat Dennings, herself a sitcom vet) put it on the show: “She recast Pietro?” Just like Darrin from Betwitched or Aunt Vivian on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, these things happen.

At the door was the actor Evan Peters, reprising his role as Pietro from another comic book movie franchise: the X-Men one. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Aaron Taylor-Johnson played the part. That’s good soap opera stuff Pietro had superhuman speed and was killed by Ultron in the second Avengers movie.īut this Pietro wasn’t that Pietro. Wanda opened the door to find her brother, Pietro, who was supposed to be dead. (Spoilers here close-tab if that’s a problem.) At the emotional peak of an argument between the superpowered Wanda and her android husband, Vision, over her reality-warping totalitarian control of their sitcomish hometown, their doorbell rang. The fifth episode of Marvel's WandaVision ended with a surprise guest appearance-and a cliffhanger.
