Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe launches not at any theater with a blockbuster, but rather—in a sign-of-the-times development—in the realm of streaming television. Disney+ series WandaVision, brings back Avengers members Vision (Paul Bettany) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) for a madcap serial spinoff; one that will require A LOT of explanation, given their respective fates in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

“漫威電影宇宙”的第四階段不是在任何劇院高調(diào)上映,而是順應(yīng)時代發(fā)展,在流媒體電視播放。迪士尼+系列《旺達幻視》帶來了《復(fù)仇者聯(lián)盟》成員幻視(Paul Bettany)和猩紅女巫(Elizabeth Olsen),開展衍生劇的拍攝;但是考慮到《復(fù)仇者聯(lián)盟:無限戰(zhàn)爭》和《復(fù)仇者聯(lián)盟:殘局》中的各自命運,編劇可需要好好圓回來了。

WandaVision, which operates under the creative purview of Captain Marvel writer Jac Schaeffer, now takes point for Phase Four in January, representing a canonical tie-in that’s more solid than contemporary MCU-adjacent small-screen predecessors like ABC’s Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, along with unceremoniously abandoned Netflix “Street Level” shows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and The Defenders.

《旺達幻視》由《驚奇隊長》的編劇杰克·薛佛(Jac Schaeffer)操刀創(chuàng)作,標志著漫威電影宇宙在1月份進入第四階段,是漫威系列的經(jīng)典衍生作品,比此前小屏幕的ABC的《神盾局特工》和《卡特特工》等當代漫威電影宇宙相比更加符合市場,同時毫不客??氣地砍掉了網(wǎng)飛出品的低級漫威劇:《夜魔俠》,《杰西卡·瓊斯》,《盧克·凱奇》,《鐵拳俠》,《懲罰者》和《捍衛(wèi)者聯(lián)盟》。

Interestingly, the notion of the reality-altering WandaVision serving as the introduction to Phase Four of the MCU was far from the original plan—that honor was originally designated for big screen solo offering Black Widow, which would have been nearly a year old by now had it not been for the worldwide dilatory effect of COVID-19 on anything and everything. Indeed, WandaVision—itself delayed from a December 2020 window—wasn’t even supposed to be the first Marvel series to hit Disney+, since The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was originally planned as the MCU’s inaugural Disney+ original, initially set for an August 2020 premiere (it is now scheduled for March 19).

有趣的是,本來并不打算把《旺達幻視》作為漫威宇宙電影第四階段的標志電影——這一殊榮本該是院線上映的《黑寡婦》。如果不是新冠疫情對全球的影響,到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有將近一年的歷史了。確實,《旺達幻視》(自2020年12月開始推遲)甚至不應(yīng)該成為第一個登上Disney +的漫威電影,因為最初打算將《獵鷹》和《冬日戰(zhàn)士》作為漫威宇宙電影在Disney +的首秀,定于2020年8月首映(如今改為3月19日首映)。
