WandaVision: 10 Biggest New Reveals From EW's Cover Story And Stills

10. Why Kevin Feige Chose A Sitcom Setting For WandaVision

It's been clear for a while now that WandaVision will be set in a sitcom-like setting, with the first trailer for the show hinting that there might be more to that than initially meets the eye. That was Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige's idea, and he's explained where his inspiration came from.

"I would get ready for the day and watch some old sitcom because I couldn’t take the news anymore," he admits. "Getting ready to go to set over the last few years, I kept thinking of how influential these programs were on our society and on myself, and how certainly I was using it as an escape from reality where things could be tied up in a nice bow in 30 minutes."

To bring his, ahem, vision to life, Feige turned to writer Jac Shaeffer (Black Widow), producer Mary Livanos (Captain Marvel), and director Matt Shakman (Game of Thrones).

"It really does feel like we’re all programmed to know and love and understand these suburban family sitcoms," Livanos says. "So, to mess with expectations has been really fun."
