#158 Black Widow delayed and all Marvel Studios productions on hold due to coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

Disney and Marvel Studios have pulled Black Widow from its May 1 release date and suspended all active productions due to the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19). These include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki right now, but even more upcoming productions could be impacted. Obviously, none of these impacts are of primary concern with respect to COVID-19, but they are signs of how our way of life has changed for the time being and it's okay for fans to feel disappointed. This news, of course, is relevant to this podcast, so host Sean Gerber delivers his full analysis of these stories and more in this episode.

Yelena (Florence Pugh), Melina (Rachel Weisz), and Alexei (David Harbour) are family to Natasha, but will they stay that way? Who is Taskmaster? What's up with Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross? We do our best to answer these questions and more on this episode!

#155 Expanding the Universe: WandaVision Mar 03, 2020

Show notes

We're back to our "Expanding the Universe" series with perhaps Marvel Studios' most intriguing Phase Four project, WandaVision. The upcoming Disney+ series will showcase Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as the Scarlet Witch while also giving us another look at Vision (Paul Bettany) after he died in Avengers: Infinity War. Is he alive again, or only in Wanda's mind? What exactly is a half-sitcom, half-MCU epic? Is Wanda the source of these sitcom-influenced realities? If so, is she generating them willingly? We ponder these questions and more in this episode!

We also examine what all of this means for Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige, and whether there could be some additional restructuring that might impact Marvel.
