Exclusive: How’s this for an IP play?

The first trailer for Marvel’s WandaVision Disney+ series has arrived, and it most certainly didn’t disappoint. Alternating between clever sitcom homages, comics accurate costumes, and the eerie knowledge that one of its title characters is supposed to, well, quite dead to be frank, WandaVision looks like a genuinely fascinating and unpredictable McU entry.
It’s set to the haunting melody of The Platters’ version of “Twilight Time.” The song itself dates back to 1944, when it was written by Buck Ram (lyrics), Morty Nevins, Al Nevins, and Artie Dunn (music).
