However, he, and his lover, the superpowerful Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), are back in WandaVision. The nine-episode series will be streamed in India on Disney+ Hotstar Premium from January 15.

The comedic tone of WandaVision continues “only till a point, and then it has more effects shots than Avengers: Endgame”, Bettany promised in an interview with Scroll.in.
WandaVision has been written by Jac Schaeffer (Captain Marvel, Black Widow) and directed by Matt Shakman, whose credits include the irreverent comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia as well as Game of Thrones. Edited excerpts from an interview.
