While Disney has not released a synopsis for individual upcoming episodes – opting only to give them blurbs and even names after they’ve been released – the streamer describes WandaVision as “a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) – two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives – begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems,” according to the Season 1 logline.

When Does WandaVision Season 1 Release?

After WandaVision’s two-episode premiere on Friday, January 15, Disney+ will air the following seven episodes every Friday until the Season 1 finale, which will release on Friday, March 5, 2021.

What Time Does the New WandaVision Episode Come Out?

The time each new episode of WandaVision Season 1 is expected to drop is at 12am PT/3am ET on Friday morning in the US, which is 8am in the UK and 6:30pm ACT/7pm AET in Australia. WandaVision will be available globally wherever Disney Plus is available.

Movie Theatres Oppose Minimum Wage Increase

While theatres continue to get ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic, the moviegoing industry is also paying attention to the federal government’s moves. With Congress pushing to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, the theatre industry strongly opposes the plan.

According to Variety, executives within the moviegoing business claim that the increase to the minimum wage would “kill” the theatre industry, arguing that it’s not sustainable for business. It’s worth noting that big chains like AMC and Regal keep only about 50% of the money they take from ticket sales each year, while smaller theatres keep roughly 40% of their ticket sales.

“That would kill us,” said Byron Berkley, owner of Foothills Entertainment in Kilgore, Texas. “We couldn’t justify raising our admission prices and concession prices to compensate for that kind of increase and still expect people to patronize the business. It would be disastrous.” Workers in Kilgore make a minimum of $7.25 an hour, with the poverty line hovering at $6. Those employed by Berkley at Foothills Entertainment allegedly make just $8 an hour.

Actress Mila Kunis has been voicing Meg on Family Guy since she was 15 years old. In a new interview she said it’s the best job she’s ever had and she hopes it never ends, going on to playfully state that she believes Family Guy will eventually overtake The Simpsons in terms of the number of seasons.

“I hope this never ends,” she told Collider. I’m so grateful for this job. I can’t believe people still care. I’m so happy that we have the writers that we have. I’ve been recording it through all of quarantine from my closet. I started it when I was 15. It’s been the greatest job ever. Ever. Hands down. I dare anybody to tell me they have a better, more amazing job.”

As for surpassing The Simpsons, Kunis thinks it’s definitely going to happen, maybe. “Are we going to overtake The Simpsons? Hell yes. Also, false sense of confidence,” she said.

Captain Marvel 2’s Villain Will Be Played By Zawe Ashton – Report

Zawe Ashton (Velvet Buzzsaw, Doctor Who) has reportedly been cast in Captain Marvel 2, according to Deadline. Disney and Marvel Studios have not yet issued an official statement, but Deadline is indicating via unnamed sources that the actor will co-star as the film’s villain.

Captain Marvel 2 is due out November 11, 2022 as part of Marvel Phase 4. So, it’s no surprise that details have been pretty sparse overall on the film since it wasn’t even clear until recently that this sequel would even exist. (For the record, the only MCU movie to not get a sequel or have one in the works was The Incredible Hulk.) CM2 will follow both Thor: Love and Thunder and Black Panther 2.

As reported by Deadline previously, Ashton will join Brie Larson in the sequel to the 2019 MCU film that will be directed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman). Megan McDonnell, who is a story editor on Disney+’s WandaVision, wrote the script for the sequel, but the story and even minor plot points are all still largely unknown. Teyonah Parris, who appears as the adult version of Monica Rambeau in WandaVision, will also figure into the movie. Marvel boss Kevin Feige has stated that Ms. Marvel will also make an appearance.
