WandaVision's first series will follow the couple as they begin married life together in a new town and Vision starts his new job while Wanda navigates life at home, director Matt Shakman said.
"They're concerned you hiding their powers from their new friends and neighbors, and when they're pushed for more information about where they came from, they're stumped," he added. "That's when we start to realize that things are not quite what they seem."
