Out of all the upcoming Disney+ shows, Wanda/Vision is the one that I have the most questions about. Will The Vision truly return, or will he only be there through flashbacks or illusions? There have been rumors that Wiccan and Speed are being cast for the show, how would the be introduced? What will Wanda's status be at the end? We know she will truly become The Scarlet Witch, but will she stay a hero, or become more of an antagonist by the time she joins Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness? It will be interesting to see how everything plays out.

If it's like Netflix, then you may only have 10-12 shows per season. How many seasons to last? Will Disney treat a "robot" like a real life form?
PIECE OF CAKE! Just wait till they show up on all the ABC talk shows for their pr tour.
Interesting cover, Ross, though using Sabrina to take Doctor Strange's place as Wanda's magic tutor seems strange,* since she's most familiar (at least to me) as a "Teenage Witch." Maybe this is an older version?
@Tobor: All of the Disney+ Marvel shows, with the exception of What If?, are planned as a single season of eight episodes. (What If? is the only one expected to be ongoing; the first season will have 23 episodes, one for each MCU movie including The Incredible Hulk and the Spider-Man films. Hopfully a second season will also include the Netflix, ABC, Freeform, and Hulu series as well as the Disney+ ones.)
PS: I woke up this morning with an image in my head of the Transformers entering the House of Mystery. I don't know if you'd want to do anything with that, Ross, but there it is.
*Pun not intended, but appreciated.
WandaVision...instead of "no more mutants," there will be "more mutants."
Bob - maybe they are just classmates. I don't think the Transformers could fit through the door

Eight episodes, huh? I can remember when a full season equaled 13 weeks!
Oh, yeah? Well, I remember when a full season equaled 26 weeks! And we liked it!
Ross, a better question might be whether the show will feature The Vision, or A Vision. The MCEU has multiple timelines/dimensions now and Wanda has a history of creating what she wants (the infant Wiccan and Speed), so the show's Vision could be one she dreamed up or stole from another reality.
And then there's the question of what Doctor Strange was doing during all the reality changes of Avengers Dissemble and House of M.
@Bob Greenwade: Well said, and ditto. :-)
Maybe Sabrina (from the 90's sitcom) could be teamed up with Phil Diffy (Phil of the Future) in a cover where Sabrina tries using a spell to conjure (for the WB network) Judy Jetson, but botches the spell and gets Phil Diffy instead; in Phil of the Future, Phil could be a bit like a male variation of Judy Jetson when it comes to situations involving the "magic" of futuristic technology.
Cross a wire and they'll get hextra sensory perception.
Cross another wire and you'll get Swamp Thing, Man Thing and Ben Grimm. Some Thing for everyone. Will the Addams Family Thing lend a hand for Halloween?
You know science says most people have only 10 to 15% of their total mind working.
What about the rest of the mind?
It's a work in progress.
If magic is simply manipulating matter and energy to do your bidding, I bid 5 no trump. I'll cross the other bridge when I get to it.
@Anonymouse: If "pro" is the opposite of "con," what is the opposite of progress?

Why are they designed to be just a single season?

hey-hey-hey! One never know. Do one?

@det_Tobor: Re: Disney+ single season shows. Just a guess, but these shows are loss leaders designed to get people signed up to the service. Most of these shows have Movie stars, if not the A+ listers, but still with movie star salary demands. I would expect a couple of back-door pilots (maybe for Young Avengers) or spin-off series (Kate Bishop) in the mix for future shows with more TV-level cost structures.
And the MCEU stars probably only wanted to commit to one season before going back to the movies. These shows bridge the gap to Phase 4 and new series based on whatever breaks out from them.
Also, Disney is probably hedging the bets on how much of the MCEU audience will follow the characters here since the Big Boys aren't
showing up. If a show bombs, it can be quietly forgotten with no severance clauses to pay out.
Jay got most of it right, I think. Also, I think the Phase 4 shows are mainly testing the waters, and are largely designed to set things up for movie plots (especially WandaVision and Loki). The Phase 5 shows (Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk) could turn into continuing efforts if they and the overall project prove successful.
