1
00:00:12,471 --> 00:00:16,011
Welcome to what is a strange event.
2
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:20,224
The first live sitcom taping
in Marvel Studios history.
3
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:27,397
I didn't know that I was gonna
be able to do anything like this,
4
00:00:27,402 --> 00:00:29,566
so it just feels like
an incredible gift.
5
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:32,110
Moving through to the
'60s and the '70s now,
6
00:00:32,115 --> 00:00:35,447
and, as we dove into the
'80s and '90s, is really fun.
7
00:00:35,452 --> 00:00:37,994
And then, ending up in a big Marvel,
8
00:00:37,998 --> 00:00:41,119
full widescreen format is the best.
9
00:00:41,124 --> 00:00:42,732
We were first really terrified,
10
00:00:42,736 --> 00:00:44,836
and now I think we're just so excited.
11
00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:50,290
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
12
00:01:02,938 --> 00:01:05,397
The first time I heard
about the concept,
13
00:01:05,401 --> 00:01:06,762
I thought it was brilliant.
14
00:01:06,767 --> 00:01:10,816
We're putting together so many
different genres of television,
15
00:01:10,821 --> 00:01:13,382
and we are putting our own spin on it.
16
00:01:13,866 --> 00:01:16,910
That is something special, baby.
17
00:01:17,494 --> 00:01:19,066
I just think it's gonna be
18
00:01:19,071 --> 00:01:23,328
so shocking, and confusing, and exciting
19
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:26,832
for our fans to dissect
what we're doing and why,
20
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:29,251
and for them to try and
get steps ahead of us.
21
00:01:29,256 --> 00:01:34,173
And that's just very cool
and it's very satisfying.
22
00:01:34,178 --> 00:01:36,800
This is for us.
23
00:01:36,805 --> 00:01:39,261
So let me handle it.
24
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:41,180
What is outside of Westview?
25
00:01:41,185 --> 00:01:45,342
I got a call from Kevin to
come see him in his office.
26
00:01:45,347 --> 00:01:46,769
When I went, "Oh, I'm getting canned".
27
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:48,690
And I went in, and, much to my surprise,
28
00:01:48,694 --> 00:01:51,190
they pitched this bonkers
idea for a show.
29
00:01:51,195 --> 00:01:54,860
And I was immediately in, of course.
30
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:58,810
And the show has only
grown more bonkers.
31
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:03,040
You're the new clown?
32
00:02:03,582 --> 00:02:05,250
At least you're already in makeup.
33
00:02:07,753 --> 00:02:09,296
Welcome home, sir.
34
00:02:10,214 --> 00:02:13,003
It's so nice to see you finally
coming out of your shell.
35
00:02:13,008 --> 00:02:15,255
- It's been a crazy ride.
- That was a good one.
36
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:17,841
Jon Favreau rung me up and...
37
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:21,220
We had made a movie together
called Wimbledon.
38
00:02:21,225 --> 00:02:22,930
He rung me up and he said,
39
00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:27,935
"I'm making this movie with
Robert Downey, and he's Iron Man.
40
00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:32,539
And I need sort of a really
boring, personality-less voice
41
00:02:32,544 --> 00:02:34,858
for the computer that runs his world.
42
00:02:34,863 --> 00:02:38,278
And I immediately thought of you, Paul".
43
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:40,364
Rendering periodic table, sir.
44
00:02:40,369 --> 00:02:42,783
How do you say no when
you're asked so nicely?
45
00:02:45,207 --> 00:02:46,870
Anyway, and it was a great gig.
46
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:51,583
They'd shot everything and whatever
still needed clarification,
47
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:53,604
you could always just have JARVIS
48
00:02:53,608 --> 00:02:55,254
say, "The baddies are coming!"
49
00:02:55,259 --> 00:02:57,381
Sir, it appears that this suit can fly.
50
00:02:57,386 --> 00:02:59,091
Duly noted. Take me to maximum altitude.
51
00:02:59,096 --> 00:03:01,426
And then, I don't know
how the next bit happened.
52
00:03:01,431 --> 00:03:04,805
I guess Joss Whedon had
seen me in some movie,
53
00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:07,274
and figured out a way for me
to actually work for a living,
54
00:03:07,279 --> 00:03:08,776
if you can call it work.
55
00:03:08,781 --> 00:03:11,478
So, then that happened.
That was Age of Ultron.
56
00:03:17,277 --> 00:03:18,874
Starting with Ultron,
57
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:22,573
Marvel really was so excited
to bring Wanda into the MCU.
58
00:03:22,578 --> 00:03:27,828
And was only really teeing
me up for possibilities
59
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,291
that we didn't know if we would actually
60
00:03:30,295 --> 00:03:32,583
fulfill those possibilities or not.
61
00:03:32,588 --> 00:03:35,752
I looked in your head,
and I saw annihilation.
62
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:36,829
Look again.
63
00:03:36,834 --> 00:03:39,381
So, we would place Easter
eggs in certain places,
64
00:03:39,386 --> 00:03:43,260
whether it's just a glance
too long with Vision or just...
65
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:46,810
We were trying to play around
with that in Age of Ultron.
66
00:03:48,253 --> 00:03:51,393
I feel like the hand-off
to different directors
67
00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:54,004
have been completely
different experiences
68
00:03:54,008 --> 00:03:55,864
for this character specifically.
69
00:03:55,869 --> 00:03:59,551
I think the Russo Brothers
were very honest about,
70
00:03:59,556 --> 00:04:04,406
"You know, I really want this
to be something that you shepherd
71
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:06,700
and that you take full ownership of".
72
00:04:06,705 --> 00:04:08,744
And I was like, "Okay".
73
00:04:08,749 --> 00:04:13,790
So, I had to choreograph with
this choreographer, Jenny White,
74
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:16,210
who we brought on in Age of Ultron.
75
00:04:16,215 --> 00:04:18,086
Bring in that energy
and throw it back out.
76
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:22,182
We just had to figure out our
own place at the same time
77
00:04:22,187 --> 00:04:24,513
while Wanda was trying
to figure out her own place
78
00:04:24,517 --> 00:04:27,221
in the Avengers compound
79
00:04:27,226 --> 00:04:29,286
and finding solace in Vision.
80
00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:31,079
Tell me what you feel.
81
00:04:35,859 --> 00:04:37,861
I just feel you.
82
00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:41,026
And I think Paul and
I, we both really believed,
83
00:04:41,031 --> 00:04:44,491
as much as it's fun
to be part of the humor
84
00:04:44,495 --> 00:04:46,423
and the playfulness of the Avengers,
85
00:04:46,428 --> 00:04:49,034
we've always... my
character specifically,
86
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:51,703
has also always, in our
relationship together,
87
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:55,374
we've kind of just created
just an emotional foundation
88
00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:58,043
that doesn't play around
with irony, really.
89
00:04:58,048 --> 00:05:01,088
Which is kind of odd in these movies
90
00:05:01,093 --> 00:05:05,425
when so much is ironic
and funny and fun to watch.
91
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,300
But it's also kind of lovely
92
00:05:07,304 --> 00:05:09,721
that it's told through
their strange love story.
93
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:12,271
We are out of time.
94
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:14,560
I can't.
95
00:05:14,565 --> 00:05:15,853
Yes, you can.
96
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:17,601
It shouldn't be you, but it is.
97
00:05:27,369 --> 00:05:28,579
I love you.
98
00:05:39,464 --> 00:05:40,544
Hey.
99
00:05:42,885 --> 00:05:46,717
Now we can begin. Wanda, you pick.
100
00:05:46,722 --> 00:05:48,552
And then moving on to the show
101
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:51,889
with Mary Livanos, our producer,
and Jac Schaeffer, our creator,
102
00:05:51,894 --> 00:05:55,893
they really honed in on all these
things that were in my head,
103
00:05:55,898 --> 00:05:58,314
and all these inner
monologues and threads
104
00:05:58,318 --> 00:06:00,689
and arcs that I kind of just created.
105
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:03,609
And they just really took
it in such a deep way
106
00:06:03,614 --> 00:06:06,445
and created such beautiful arcs.
107
00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:08,160
Morning, wife! Morning, sons!
108
00:06:08,827 --> 00:06:10,866
Morning, unfamiliar wet animal.
109
00:06:10,871 --> 00:06:11,950
Who's this?
110
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:15,412
It's such a homage to the
sort of American sitcoms
111
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,915
throughout the 20th century.
112
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,333
What kind of housewife would I be
113
00:06:19,338 --> 00:06:20,824
if I didn't have a gourmet meal
114
00:06:20,828 --> 00:06:22,794
for four just lying about the place?
115
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:25,052
Jac Schaeffer has done such a great job.
116
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:28,880
It's such a little beautiful puzzle box.
117
00:06:31,975 --> 00:06:34,973
I was lucky enough to be
invited to look at the materials
118
00:06:34,978 --> 00:06:37,017
and sort of digest
it and think about it.
119
00:06:37,022 --> 00:06:38,936
And there was so much
that was already there.
120
00:06:38,941 --> 00:06:40,521
This is Kevin Feige's baby.
121
00:06:40,526 --> 00:06:45,192
He loves the show and had some
really distinct ideas and visuals
122
00:06:45,197 --> 00:06:47,157
and things that they
all wanted to achieve.
123
00:06:52,955 --> 00:06:55,285
Matt Shakman is just
the person to direct
124
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,497
a complicated Rubik's
cube of a show like this.
125
00:06:58,502 --> 00:07:01,583
He runs the Geffen Playhouse back in LA.
126
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:04,086
He's worked on Game of Thrones.
127
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:05,879
He's worked on countless sitcoms
128
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:09,258
and, in fact, starred,
back when he was younger,
129
00:07:09,263 --> 00:07:11,593
in sitcoms as a child actor,
130
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:14,763
and he is just the Swiss
Army knife of a human
131
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:16,557
that we need for a show like this.
132
00:07:16,562 --> 00:07:18,814
Hart goes back in. Door slams.
133
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:21,019
He goes to the phone!
134
00:07:21,024 --> 00:07:23,272
We pause here. All right.
135
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:25,566
And let's continue on
with our ladies over here.
136
00:07:25,571 --> 00:07:28,824
It blew my mind when they pitched
me the concept for the show.
137
00:07:29,533 --> 00:07:33,782
More than just because the idea
is outrageously fun and new,
138
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:37,244
but also because it felt like
it hit all the parts of my life.
139
00:07:37,249 --> 00:07:40,122
I grew up being on shows from the '80s
140
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:42,488
like Facts of Life,
and Diff'rent Strokes,
141
00:07:42,492 --> 00:07:44,960
Growing Pains, et cetera.
142
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:48,422
But I've also directed a lot
of large-scale spectacle.
143
00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:51,498
And so, the idea that
there existed a project
144
00:07:51,502 --> 00:07:52,676
in the Marvel Universe,
145
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:55,220
which I'm also an enormous fan of
146
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:56,808
and dressed up like superheroes
147
00:07:56,812 --> 00:07:58,891
from the Marvel comic
books when I was a kid
148
00:07:58,896 --> 00:08:00,392
until they told me I had to stop,
149
00:08:00,397 --> 00:08:01,904
the idea that I could combine
150
00:08:01,908 --> 00:08:03,854
all these things that I've always loved
151
00:08:03,859 --> 00:08:07,107
into one crazy project was
almost too hard to believe.
152
00:08:07,112 --> 00:08:08,275
It's too good to be true.
153
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,943
All right, ready, Janell?
154
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:11,633
- Yeah.
- All right, let's do it.
155
00:08:19,374 --> 00:08:20,871
And action!
156
00:08:20,876 --> 00:08:22,415
We're starting in the 1950s,
157
00:08:22,419 --> 00:08:26,627
so it was always our dream that if
we did a true multi-camera show,
158
00:08:26,632 --> 00:08:28,045
we would have a live audience.
159
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:30,547
And we knew it was a risk, we
knew it would be an expense,
160
00:08:30,552 --> 00:08:31,798
almost an indulgence,
161
00:08:31,803 --> 00:08:35,344
but for the actors, for the
energy, and for the crew,
162
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:37,137
it will be really exciting.
163
00:08:37,142 --> 00:08:40,057
I've been playing to the audience, so...
164
00:08:40,062 --> 00:08:41,505
You tell me where the camera is,
165
00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:43,332
and I'll start playing to the camera.
166
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:49,399
So you're on our sitcom
stage for the first episode.
167
00:08:49,404 --> 00:08:52,444
Over there is Vision's
office, where he works,
168
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:54,571
and he works for a guy named Mr. Hart.
169
00:08:54,576 --> 00:08:58,200
Mr. Hart and his dear lady
wife, Mrs. Hart.
170
00:08:58,205 --> 00:09:00,369
That's what I just said.
What's wrong with you, son?
171
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:03,080
- Have you got a screw loose?
- Oh, no, sir, screws all tight, sir.
172
00:09:03,085 --> 00:09:05,185
And then over here, right to your right,
173
00:09:05,189 --> 00:09:08,669
is the house where
Wanda and Vision live.
174
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:10,735
This is their kitchen,
over here to the right,
175
00:09:10,739 --> 00:09:12,130
this beautiful blue kitchen.
176
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:14,052
But when you see it on the actual show,
177
00:09:14,056 --> 00:09:15,301
it's gonna be in black and white,
178
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,594
so you won't actually get
to see the color of it.
179
00:09:17,599 --> 00:09:20,013
And then over here is their living room.
180
00:09:20,018 --> 00:09:22,742
So what's a single gal like you
181
00:09:22,746 --> 00:09:25,519
doing rattling around this big house?
182
00:09:25,524 --> 00:09:27,980
Behind you is our live audience seating.
183
00:09:27,985 --> 00:09:29,940
We wanted it to feel period,
184
00:09:29,945 --> 00:09:32,401
so that's why we have
the old wooden chairs
185
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:35,445
and we've matched the
railings and how it all looks,
186
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:38,323
because so much of it is about
the audience's experience.
187
00:09:38,328 --> 00:09:40,868
Kevin Feige and I had a lovely
lunch with Dick Van Dyke
188
00:09:40,873 --> 00:09:43,245
shortly before we started
pre-production on the show,
189
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:46,456
so we could really get in
touch with how they did it
190
00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:48,461
and to be as authentic as we could,
191
00:09:48,465 --> 00:09:50,752
not just in how it would look and feel,
192
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:52,629
but in how it was put together,
193
00:09:52,634 --> 00:09:54,715
the style, the way they rehearsed,
194
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,967
the way they approached
blocking and shooting.
195
00:09:56,972 --> 00:09:59,928
Wanda would technically
go to a quick change.
196
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:01,430
She's not gonna do it now.
197
00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:04,391
We'll get the living room
dressed. It's happening.
198
00:10:04,396 --> 00:10:07,290
And then we would light the
candles right at the very end,
199
00:10:07,294 --> 00:10:08,687
and we would go.
200
00:10:08,692 --> 00:10:10,772
The Dick Van Dyke Show
really was theater.
201
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:11,940
They put it up.
202
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:14,443
They shot it once in
front of the audience,
203
00:10:14,448 --> 00:10:16,195
like a play, all the way through.
204
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,988
You can feel it when
you watch that show.
205
00:10:17,993 --> 00:10:20,849
The audience is in it, like
when they're in the theater.
206
00:10:21,914 --> 00:10:25,412
The adrenaline, the audience, and
the actors feed off of each other.
207
00:10:25,417 --> 00:10:27,448
And that creates something
that you can't imitate.
208
00:10:27,453 --> 00:10:29,791
That's why we're going
to these great lengths.
209
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:31,251
And our actors have been wonderful.
210
00:10:31,256 --> 00:10:33,837
I'm a little anxious
about the whole live...
211
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:39,701
I haven't been in front of
a live audience since 1884.
212
00:10:39,706 --> 00:10:41,094
- Oh, is that right? Oh.
- Yeah.
213
00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:43,597
So, I'm a little anxious
about the whole thing.
214
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:45,140
Yeah, I would be too.
215
00:10:45,145 --> 00:10:47,184
Still, I just, you know...
216
00:10:47,189 --> 00:10:49,186
Hundred-plus years ago.
217
00:10:49,191 --> 00:10:51,443
- Hundred-plus years ago.
- That's a long time.
218
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:56,193
Welcome to WandaVision.
Thank you so much, guys.
219
00:10:58,158 --> 00:10:59,947
We're so excited to have you guys.
220
00:10:59,952 --> 00:11:02,157
We've been working hard
the last two weeks
221
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:03,784
on making this happen for you all.
222
00:11:03,789 --> 00:11:06,311
If you guys can give us all the laughter
223
00:11:06,315 --> 00:11:08,330
and all the natural reactions you have
224
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:10,833
to what we're doing, we
would be most grateful.
225
00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:12,876
And then you will probably
hear yourself,
226
00:11:12,881 --> 00:11:15,170
especially if you're one
of those loud laughers...
227
00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:18,257
... when you actually
watch the show later on.
228
00:11:18,262 --> 00:11:19,635
Now, I would love to introduce you
229
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:21,760
to the characters you're
gonna meet today.
230
00:11:21,765 --> 00:11:23,595
David Lengel.
231
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,888
Asif Ali.
232
00:11:24,893 --> 00:11:26,598
Debra Jo Rupp.
233
00:11:26,603 --> 00:11:28,100
Fred Melamed.
234
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:29,726
Kathryn Hahn.
235
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:32,354
The Vision himself, Paul Bettany.
236
00:11:32,359 --> 00:11:35,274
And, as Wanda Maximoff, Elizabeth Olsen!
237
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:40,863
I mean, I've done theater before,
238
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:44,116
but shooting a TV show in
front of a live audience
239
00:11:44,121 --> 00:11:47,119
was like a strange meta
experience for me
240
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:49,788
because I grew up on the Full House set
241
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:53,041
watching these live tapings on Fridays,
242
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:57,713
never thinking that that would
ever be a form of reality for me.
243
00:11:57,718 --> 00:11:59,131
Guess who?
244
00:11:59,136 --> 00:12:00,924
Oh.
245
00:12:00,929 --> 00:12:03,010
Is that my host behind me?
246
00:12:03,015 --> 00:12:04,720
It certainly is!
247
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:07,014
- Lovely to make your acquaintance.
- Yes!
248
00:12:07,019 --> 00:12:10,475
Doing sitcom gave me
so much joy every day.
249
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,478
I think it gave all of
us so much actual joy.
250
00:12:13,483 --> 00:12:14,730
It's really different.
251
00:12:14,735 --> 00:12:16,565
- High-octane.
- It's very authentic,
252
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:22,070
you know, late '50s sitcom,
and it feels very different.
253
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:25,199
You have to swing for the
fences and hope that you...
254
00:12:25,204 --> 00:12:26,742
We're playing for an audience.
255
00:12:26,747 --> 00:12:29,369
And I feel like in the Marvel films,
it's a cinematic universe,
256
00:12:29,374 --> 00:12:31,705
and this we're playing for laughs.
257
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:33,832
I've never been allowed to be funny.
258
00:12:33,837 --> 00:12:36,502
This is my first time getting
to be funny as Wanda.
259
00:12:36,507 --> 00:12:37,616
What a gas.
260
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:39,713
I'm very funny.
261
00:12:39,718 --> 00:12:41,757
- She is enormously funny.
- I'm very funny.
262
00:12:41,762 --> 00:12:43,272
I think I have another idea.
263
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:46,845
- And...
- And then I change.
264
00:12:51,188 --> 00:12:53,769
Every member of the crew
was dressed in costumes.
265
00:12:53,774 --> 00:12:55,646
Everybody got into the spirit of it.
266
00:12:55,651 --> 00:12:59,566
And then the audience came
in, and we just went for it.
267
00:12:59,571 --> 00:13:04,363
It was nerve-racking, but I think
it was so rewarding and so funny.
268
00:13:04,368 --> 00:13:05,697
Us running backstage,
269
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:07,702
bumping into me, bumping
into Kathryn Hahn,
270
00:13:07,706 --> 00:13:09,868
and making her drop
her props or whatever.
271
00:13:09,873 --> 00:13:13,121
Everybody's getting ready
behind doors to come out.
272
00:13:13,126 --> 00:13:14,957
And it was so much fun.
273
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:17,167
Oh, my!
274
00:13:17,172 --> 00:13:18,502
That was just a dream.
275
00:13:18,507 --> 00:13:21,255
The costumes are so fabulous.
276
00:13:21,260 --> 00:13:23,465
Mayes, the designer, is such a genius.
277
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:25,008
That dress!
278
00:13:25,013 --> 00:13:27,517
Yes, the dress! It's... It's so...
279
00:13:27,521 --> 00:13:30,727
It's Sokovian, is what it is! Yes!
280
00:13:31,353 --> 00:13:34,726
It is my favorite period for clothes
281
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:37,938
because it shows off a
waist if you have a waist.
282
00:13:37,943 --> 00:13:40,440
I have a waist. I have no limbs.
283
00:13:40,445 --> 00:13:42,943
I'm very short, but I have a waist,
284
00:13:42,948 --> 00:13:45,112
so I really like the '50s.
So, that was great.
285
00:13:45,117 --> 00:13:47,823
I kind of like the hair and
I have a magnificent hat.
286
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:50,328
They had a little table
with a whole bunch of hats,
287
00:13:50,332 --> 00:13:51,577
and I just went,
288
00:13:51,582 --> 00:13:53,287
"Could I have that hat, please?"
289
00:13:53,292 --> 00:13:54,997
And it was perfect.
290
00:13:55,002 --> 00:13:57,460
But the '50s undergarments are
291
00:13:57,464 --> 00:13:59,293
not the most comfortable things,
292
00:13:59,298 --> 00:14:00,878
but they help with your posture.
293
00:14:00,883 --> 00:14:03,839
Yeah, I got my Spanx
on. My lifts in my heels.
294
00:14:03,844 --> 00:14:06,466
I've got my Spanx on.
I've got my flats on.
295
00:14:06,471 --> 00:14:08,719
- Ready to go.
- But I'm ready emotionally.
296
00:14:08,724 --> 00:14:09,979
You wanna talk about your butt?
297
00:14:09,984 --> 00:14:11,557
Yeah, I did want to talk
about my butt, for a second.
298
00:14:11,561 --> 00:14:13,182
I wanna talk about my dress first.
299
00:14:13,187 --> 00:14:16,143
Um, it makes me have better posture.
300
00:14:16,148 --> 00:14:19,396
And it makes me wanna
walk like this and...
301
00:14:19,401 --> 00:14:22,024
I have exactly the same
thing, but with my fake butt.
302
00:14:22,029 --> 00:14:23,059
- With your fake butt.
- Yeah,
303
00:14:23,063 --> 00:14:25,886
it makes me stand properly,
and makes me wanna do this too.
304
00:14:25,891 --> 00:14:27,154
- This?
- Yeah.
305
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:30,073
We knew that when we started this show,
306
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:32,578
the way that we were going to
307
00:14:32,582 --> 00:14:35,204
sell it authentically to an audience
308
00:14:35,209 --> 00:14:38,332
would be with every level of recreation.
309
00:14:38,337 --> 00:14:40,792
So, that includes the camera lenses,
310
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:44,588
that includes the set decoration,
era-accurate lighting.
311
00:14:44,593 --> 00:14:46,256
Jess Hall, who's a brilliant DP,
312
00:14:46,261 --> 00:14:49,718
looked at old original prints
of these television shows,
313
00:14:49,723 --> 00:14:51,261
and he was able to try to match
314
00:14:51,266 --> 00:14:54,515
how closely as we could possibly
get to what it looked like then.
315
00:14:55,687 --> 00:14:57,726
You truly are a pioneer!
316
00:14:57,731 --> 00:14:59,149
Action!
317
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:02,027
Freeze! Swap!
318
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:06,485
Action!
319
00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:07,578
Oh, no, too much!
320
00:15:07,583 --> 00:15:09,099
We wanted to make sure we approached it
321
00:15:09,103 --> 00:15:11,365
with authenticity and not parody,
322
00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:14,209
and to that end, we wanted to
shoot it the way they shot it.
323
00:15:14,214 --> 00:15:15,462
That means visual effects
324
00:15:15,466 --> 00:15:17,588
that would have been
done as special effects.
325
00:15:17,593 --> 00:15:20,332
Luckily, Dan Sudick, who's our
special effects coordinator,
326
00:15:20,337 --> 00:15:22,876
when I first had my call
with him, when I started this
327
00:15:22,881 --> 00:15:24,711
and I laid out this idea,
328
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:26,880
I didn't know if he was
going to like the idea
329
00:15:26,885 --> 00:15:29,992
or he's gonna be like, "What're you
talking about? I blow things up!"
330
00:15:29,997 --> 00:15:31,802
He actually loved it.
He started laughing.
331
00:15:31,807 --> 00:15:34,888
He said, "I came up under
the guys who did Bewitched.
332
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:36,098
They were my mentors.
333
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:38,725
And so, I started my career
doing things on wires.
334
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:40,602
I know how to do it. It's a lot of fun".
335
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:43,313
And so, we have him and his team
336
00:15:43,318 --> 00:15:47,317
doing really complicated puppeteering
gags with wires and rods,
337
00:15:47,322 --> 00:15:48,908
and they're spending just as much time
338
00:15:48,912 --> 00:15:50,763
on that as they are blowing things up.
339
00:15:50,768 --> 00:15:52,322
How can I be of assistance?
340
00:15:52,327 --> 00:15:54,790
Well, the chicken is
no longer a chicken,
341
00:15:54,794 --> 00:15:56,218
and the lobsters just flew the coop
342
00:15:56,223 --> 00:15:57,953
so the steak is the last man standing.
343
00:15:57,958 --> 00:15:59,872
I went to theater school.
344
00:15:59,877 --> 00:16:02,040
You study screwball comedies.
345
00:16:02,045 --> 00:16:05,285
You study film noir style of acting,
346
00:16:05,290 --> 00:16:07,588
you feel so stupid when
you're in college. You're like,
347
00:16:07,593 --> 00:16:09,674
"When am I ever gonna do this?
No one makes this anymore".
348
00:16:09,678 --> 00:16:12,161
And so, getting to use all those tools
349
00:16:12,165 --> 00:16:14,136
that you have somewhere in you.
350
00:16:15,934 --> 00:16:18,932
Something that I don't really get to do.
351
00:16:18,937 --> 00:16:21,393
Now, that's romantic.
352
00:16:21,398 --> 00:16:22,880
I think the '50s was the hardest
353
00:16:22,884 --> 00:16:24,604
for me because it was like a warm up.
354
00:16:24,609 --> 00:16:26,523
Once it clicked, it was a blast.
355
00:16:26,528 --> 00:16:28,567
Down in one! Down in one!
356
00:16:28,572 --> 00:16:30,611
Please eat before it gets cold.
357
00:16:30,616 --> 00:16:32,114
I think what it did was it
358
00:16:32,118 --> 00:16:34,089
made me think I've wasted my life.
359
00:16:34,094 --> 00:16:36,074
I should've been on a
sitcom all these years.
360
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:38,660
I... I just loved it.
361
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:41,038
I should have prefaced,
I'm a very shallow person,
362
00:16:41,043 --> 00:16:44,666
so I really rely on people...
people applauding.
363
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:46,210
- Yes!
- Thank you very much!
364
00:16:46,215 --> 00:16:48,342
Thank you!
365
00:16:50,302 --> 00:16:51,386
Thank you!
366
00:16:52,471 --> 00:16:53,514
All right!
367
00:17:01,730 --> 00:17:04,895
Part of the challenge in
producing a show like this
368
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:07,441
is that we really are making one
369
00:17:07,445 --> 00:17:09,566
giant movie in the way that we shoot.
370
00:17:09,571 --> 00:17:12,001
Each day, each week, we're shooting
371
00:17:12,005 --> 00:17:13,620
pivotal moments of the series,
372
00:17:13,625 --> 00:17:15,032
we have to make sure that
373
00:17:15,036 --> 00:17:18,200
the larger story, as
a whole, is seamless.
374
00:17:18,205 --> 00:17:21,295
We really created all of these
375
00:17:21,299 --> 00:17:23,288
different characters in the town.
376
00:17:23,293 --> 00:17:24,920
And we have our core cast.
377
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:29,294
Raspberry or cheese-filled?
378
00:17:29,299 --> 00:17:31,713
Oh, neither for me, thank
you. I don't eat food.
379
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:37,183
We got the Davids.
We have Asif. We have Emma.
380
00:17:37,188 --> 00:17:38,269
What brought you here?
381
00:17:38,273 --> 00:17:39,807
How long have you been married?
382
00:17:39,811 --> 00:17:42,015
And why don't you have children yet?
383
00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:43,892
So grateful we have Debra Jo,
384
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:46,311
who is sitcom-gold
385
00:17:46,316 --> 00:17:49,064
and gets to be a part in our wacky show.
386
00:17:49,069 --> 00:17:53,193
My, um, great nephew basically said
387
00:17:53,198 --> 00:17:56,497
if I did not take the job,
he would never visit me again,
388
00:17:56,502 --> 00:17:58,907
so, I... Well, here I am.
389
00:17:58,912 --> 00:18:01,554
She loved getting to film
390
00:18:01,558 --> 00:18:04,221
some of the more Marvel-y
stuff that we did in the finale.
391
00:18:04,226 --> 00:18:07,466
She just thought it was fabulous.
392
00:18:07,471 --> 00:18:09,056
I got to do this thing.
393
00:18:09,798 --> 00:18:12,337
Oh, my God! I got to do
this thing where you...
394
00:18:12,342 --> 00:18:13,672
I don't know what it's called.
395
00:18:13,677 --> 00:18:16,633
It's a body scan, okay?
And so you stand...
396
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:18,218
I took pictures. It's amazing.
397
00:18:18,223 --> 00:18:20,767
But I won't show them to anyone, Marvel.
398
00:18:23,812 --> 00:18:25,142
Kathryn Hahn.
399
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:30,714
I don't know how I went so
long never working with her.
400
00:18:30,719 --> 00:18:33,050
I've had the greatest time.
401
00:18:33,055 --> 00:18:35,052
You're, like, a monologue
early, Kathryn.
402
00:18:35,057 --> 00:18:36,236
I was feeling left out.
403
00:18:36,241 --> 00:18:40,741
The journey with her consistently
throughout the decades
404
00:18:40,746 --> 00:18:44,536
and how the Nosy Neighbor
is so prominent.
405
00:18:44,541 --> 00:18:46,079
Spoiler alert!
406
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:48,665
She nailed all of the layers
407
00:18:48,670 --> 00:18:51,877
that were required of her
and then went beyond.
408
00:18:51,882 --> 00:18:53,337
- Cut!
- One more!
409
00:18:53,342 --> 00:18:54,663
- One more! Still rolling.
- Ready?
410
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:57,214
This character is like
a blooming onion to me.
411
00:18:57,219 --> 00:19:01,084
I mean, the fact that I was
able to start on the outside
412
00:19:01,089 --> 00:19:03,847
and kind of move into the center
413
00:19:03,852 --> 00:19:07,935
as the episodes go on was,
like, such an actor's dream.
414
00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:10,604
I keep saying it was
like a Tracey Ullman...
415
00:19:10,609 --> 00:19:11,980
Like a Tracey Ullman special.
416
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:14,483
Well, I was just on my way to Jazzercise
417
00:19:14,488 --> 00:19:16,403
when I heard your brand-new bundles
418
00:19:16,407 --> 00:19:19,071
of joy were on a sleep strike.
419
00:19:19,076 --> 00:19:20,864
And the fact that her true center
420
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:24,706
was this fantastical,
incredible witch, was like...
421
00:19:25,207 --> 00:19:28,522
Who gets to do that? I remember
when it was pitched to me...
422
00:19:28,527 --> 00:19:31,275
And it's so exciting to be able to
say this out loud to somebody
423
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,111
'cause I have not been able
to say it to anybody. Um...
424
00:19:34,116 --> 00:19:36,272
But when it was pitched
to me, I was like
425
00:19:36,277 --> 00:19:39,391
I could not imagine a part
in the Marvel Universe
426
00:19:39,396 --> 00:19:42,102
that I would have wanted to play more.
427
00:19:53,527 --> 00:19:56,029
Oh, good times!
428
00:19:56,989 --> 00:19:59,486
- Good times!
- And cut!
429
00:19:59,491 --> 00:20:01,280
- Did you hear that?
- No.
430
00:20:01,285 --> 00:20:04,708
It was like a... a
chattering sound, like...
431
00:20:04,713 --> 00:20:05,793
Oh! Like a...
432
00:20:07,666 --> 00:20:08,745
Yeah.
433
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:11,957
That's my new ice maker,
built right into the fridge.
434
00:20:11,962 --> 00:20:13,550
Oh!
435
00:20:13,555 --> 00:20:15,294
You're fancy.
436
00:20:15,299 --> 00:20:20,340
I have wanted to be in the
MCU since the MCU debuted.
437
00:20:20,345 --> 00:20:23,886
I didn't even know what
I was auditioning for.
438
00:20:23,891 --> 00:20:27,181
We all know Marvel is very top secret.
439
00:20:27,186 --> 00:20:29,474
And I was just sent some sides.
440
00:20:29,479 --> 00:20:32,978
I think it was the '70s episode.
So, I was very confused.
441
00:20:32,983 --> 00:20:36,315
It didn't say it was
'70s, but it's high farce.
442
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,843
And I was like, "What do I
do with this? I'm not sure".
443
00:20:39,848 --> 00:20:43,472
Because it's not Marvel
as my mind can process.
444
00:20:43,477 --> 00:20:45,991
And so they sent notes like,
445
00:20:45,996 --> 00:20:48,952
"Just overact. It's
okay, just go for it.
446
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:51,852
We don't care that you
don't feel that it's grounded.
447
00:20:51,857 --> 00:20:53,357
That's not what we're looking for".
448
00:20:53,362 --> 00:20:54,775
So, I was like, "Okay".
449
00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:58,654
And I did some very great overacting.
450
00:20:58,659 --> 00:21:00,093
Oh, sugar.
451
00:21:00,928 --> 00:21:02,508
He hired me!
452
00:21:02,513 --> 00:21:04,218
Oh!
453
00:21:04,223 --> 00:21:06,345
Wanda! I landed a promotion.
454
00:21:06,350 --> 00:21:09,848
And now that I've gone all corporate,
I need some office supplies.
455
00:21:09,853 --> 00:21:12,809
I just didn't know,
and I was like, "Okay".
456
00:21:12,814 --> 00:21:15,062
And I let it go for, like, two weeks
457
00:21:15,067 --> 00:21:18,524
because you can't hold these
things too close to your heart
458
00:21:18,529 --> 00:21:20,776
'cause you will get heartbroken
so many times.
459
00:21:20,781 --> 00:21:24,238
But this time, there was no heartbreak.
460
00:21:24,243 --> 00:21:27,547
They called, and they were
like, "Hey, you got the part".
461
00:21:27,552 --> 00:21:30,267
And I'm like, "What
part? What's the part?"
462
00:21:30,272 --> 00:21:33,308
I went, "What is it?"
But it's Marvel. Okay.
463
00:21:33,669 --> 00:21:36,124
Before they even told me what it was,
464
00:21:36,129 --> 00:21:38,329
I said to my agent, I was like,
465
00:21:38,334 --> 00:21:40,662
"Oh, my gosh, what if
it's Monica Rambeau?
466
00:21:40,667 --> 00:21:43,215
What if it's Monica Rambeau?"
467
00:21:43,220 --> 00:21:46,760
And then it was Monica
Rambeau, and I lost it.
468
00:21:46,765 --> 00:21:50,055
And I practically tried
to jump off a set of stairs
469
00:21:50,060 --> 00:21:52,679
'cause I thought I could
fly. I was so excited.
470
00:21:53,786 --> 00:21:56,909
So, when we leave Captain
Marvel, Monica is a young girl.
471
00:21:56,914 --> 00:21:59,481
She's got her whole life ahead of her.
472
00:21:59,486 --> 00:22:00,983
- You have to go!
- Monica!
473
00:22:00,988 --> 00:22:03,589
You've a chance to fly the coolest
mission in the history of missions.
474
00:22:03,593 --> 00:22:05,306
And you're gonna give
it up to sit on the couch
475
00:22:05,310 --> 00:22:07,216
and watch Fresh Prince with me?
476
00:22:07,944 --> 00:22:09,816
I just think you should consider
477
00:22:09,821 --> 00:22:12,286
what kind of example you're
setting for your daughter.
478
00:22:12,291 --> 00:22:15,164
And when we pick up
with her in WandaVision,
479
00:22:15,169 --> 00:22:19,385
we find out she now works for
S.W.O.R.D., as a astronaut,
480
00:22:19,390 --> 00:22:22,413
and I feel like we've gotten to a really
481
00:22:22,418 --> 00:22:25,418
great origin story for Monica.
482
00:22:28,515 --> 00:22:32,222
Having the opportunity to play
Monica Rambeau is truly an honor,
483
00:22:32,227 --> 00:22:35,978
and to have a Black female superhero
484
00:22:35,982 --> 00:22:39,229
be on a screen is monumental.
485
00:22:42,789 --> 00:22:45,125
Why didn't anyone tell me the plan?
486
00:22:48,577 --> 00:22:51,707
It's been so amazing
to bring Darcy back,
487
00:22:51,711 --> 00:22:53,952
especially in kind of an unexpected way.
488
00:22:53,957 --> 00:22:56,331
You know, the last time
we saw Darcy, she was
489
00:22:56,335 --> 00:22:58,729
still Jane Foster's intern
490
00:22:58,734 --> 00:23:00,334
and kind of her friend.
491
00:23:00,339 --> 00:23:01,975
We weren't really sure
what's going on with her.
492
00:23:01,979 --> 00:23:04,379
Apparently, she's just been going
to college this whole time.
493
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:06,340
And now she's an astrophysicist.
494
00:23:06,345 --> 00:23:10,010
My equipment registered an extremely
high level of CMBR. That's...
495
00:23:10,015 --> 00:23:12,304
Relic Radiation dating
back to the Big Bang.
496
00:23:12,309 --> 00:23:15,140
Yeah, entwined was
a broadcast frequency.
497
00:23:15,145 --> 00:23:17,768
So I had your goons pick
me up a sweet vintage TV.
498
00:23:17,773 --> 00:23:19,561
And when I plug this bad boy in,
499
00:23:19,566 --> 00:23:22,114
the cathode ray tube inside
plucked the signal out of the air
500
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,783
and decoded it just
like in the olden times.
501
00:23:24,788 --> 00:23:26,610
Voilà, sound and picture.
502
00:23:26,615 --> 00:23:29,488
Randall Park, obviously, is Jimmy Woo,
503
00:23:29,493 --> 00:23:33,325
and it's been really fun to kind
of have us together in scenes.
504
00:23:33,330 --> 00:23:35,319
They kind of have us
with Teyonah Parris.
505
00:23:35,324 --> 00:23:39,081
There's a lot of dark, serious drama,
506
00:23:39,086 --> 00:23:41,583
and it's fun to kind of
have that little break.
507
00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:43,047
You can't go back into the Hex.
508
00:23:43,052 --> 00:23:44,215
Worst case scenario,
509
00:23:44,220 --> 00:23:47,556
Wanda removes my free will and
puts me in ultra-low-rise jeans.
510
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,844
I feel like it's like a family.
511
00:23:51,849 --> 00:23:53,405
It's like a big family.
512
00:23:53,409 --> 00:23:57,020
Just to be a member of
the family, it's really cool.
513
00:23:57,604 --> 00:23:59,665
I mean, when I did Ant-man and the Wasp,
514
00:23:59,669 --> 00:24:00,969
I was just happy to be there.
515
00:24:00,974 --> 00:24:02,554
I thought it was gonna be a one-off.
516
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:04,306
Your school has rules, right?
517
00:24:04,311 --> 00:24:06,358
Like, you can't draw on the walls.
518
00:24:06,363 --> 00:24:08,402
Well, your daddy went to Germany
519
00:24:08,407 --> 00:24:10,612
and drew on the walls
with Captain America.
520
00:24:10,617 --> 00:24:12,879
And that was a violation of Article 16,
521
00:24:12,883 --> 00:24:15,075
paragraph 3 of the Sokovia Accords.
522
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,737
Just to have Jimmy come
back is such a thrill for me
523
00:24:18,742 --> 00:24:21,590
because I just love
the character so much.
524
00:24:21,595 --> 00:24:23,388
And to have so much of the character
525
00:24:23,392 --> 00:24:25,110
we established in Ant-man and the Wasp
526
00:24:25,115 --> 00:24:29,089
with the magic and the tendency
to want to connect with people
527
00:24:29,094 --> 00:24:31,601
and tell stories about his life,
528
00:24:31,605 --> 00:24:33,577
even when it's not
necessarily asked for.
529
00:24:33,582 --> 00:24:35,515
Like all those little
things, little seeds
530
00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:37,639
that we planted in Ant-man and the Wasp,
531
00:24:37,644 --> 00:24:41,018
they all kind of get to
blossom in WandaVision.
532
00:24:41,023 --> 00:24:42,604
This isn't a missing person's case,
533
00:24:42,608 --> 00:24:44,676
Captain Rambeau, it's a missing town.
534
00:24:45,332 --> 00:24:47,834
Population 3,892.
535
00:24:48,947 --> 00:24:51,116
Why haven't you gone
inside to investigate?
536
00:24:51,617 --> 00:24:52,951
'Cause it doesn't want me to.
537
00:24:56,330 --> 00:25:00,120
Tonally, WandaVision runs the gamut.
538
00:25:00,125 --> 00:25:02,472
I can't even keep up myself sometimes.
539
00:25:02,477 --> 00:25:04,554
I'm like, "Which world are we in now?"
540
00:25:08,592 --> 00:25:10,382
For the first episode,
541
00:25:10,386 --> 00:25:12,487
it's the '50s, and it's silly humor,
542
00:25:12,492 --> 00:25:15,344
but it was like really
great physical comedy,
543
00:25:15,349 --> 00:25:17,347
and that bleeds into the '60s,
544
00:25:17,351 --> 00:25:19,389
the second episode, which is Bewitched.
545
00:25:19,394 --> 00:25:23,018
Just mind your P's and Q's
and you're gonna do just fine.
546
00:25:23,023 --> 00:25:24,811
The tone doesn't change too much.
547
00:25:24,816 --> 00:25:26,396
Darling! Oh!
548
00:25:26,401 --> 00:25:28,079
I think we still allow her
549
00:25:28,083 --> 00:25:30,275
to just become more modern of a woman
550
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,277
instead of trying to play the housewife.
551
00:25:32,282 --> 00:25:36,323
Well, thank you for giving me
the strength and the courage.
552
00:25:36,328 --> 00:25:39,618
The thing that we loved so much
in the '50s and in the '60s,
553
00:25:39,623 --> 00:25:42,062
between the marriages in those shows,
554
00:25:42,067 --> 00:25:45,581
is that they were like really
funny and really honest,
555
00:25:45,586 --> 00:25:47,835
and, like, lovely and
beautiful and felt in love.
556
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,254
- Should we put our heads together?
- Very cute.
557
00:25:50,259 --> 00:25:52,159
And then we get into the'70s
558
00:25:52,164 --> 00:25:54,466
and it just becomes
this, like, Brady Bunch
559
00:25:54,471 --> 00:25:58,846
kinda creepily, like,
not grounded anymore.
560
00:25:58,851 --> 00:26:01,223
Strangest thing just
happened outside with...
561
00:26:01,228 --> 00:26:02,599
Whoa, Nelly!
562
00:26:02,604 --> 00:26:05,602
It's a surprise initially
that she got pregnant.
563
00:26:05,607 --> 00:26:07,604
We didn't know that that was possible.
564
00:26:07,609 --> 00:26:09,066
It's a magical moment
565
00:26:09,070 --> 00:26:12,234
because she's, sort of,
suddenly six months pregnant.
566
00:26:12,239 --> 00:26:14,570
If you could lean in as much as...
567
00:26:14,575 --> 00:26:16,113
I have a belly in front of me.
568
00:26:16,118 --> 00:26:21,034
Her pregnancy is progressing
at an alarming speed.
569
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:23,542
You're at about four
months now. Is that right?
570
00:26:24,835 --> 00:26:26,874
I was so excited to have an episode
571
00:26:26,879 --> 00:26:28,782
where I went through every single stage
572
00:26:28,786 --> 00:26:32,171
of my pregnancy in one day.
573
00:26:32,176 --> 00:26:35,090
That was fabulous.
574
00:26:35,095 --> 00:26:37,431
It was so perfect and funny.
575
00:26:39,641 --> 00:26:40,929
Vis...
576
00:26:40,934 --> 00:26:42,306
Yes, dear?
577
00:26:42,311 --> 00:26:44,016
I think my water just broke.
578
00:26:44,021 --> 00:26:47,769
We're doing this bit where I'm
trying to hide that I'm pregnant.
579
00:26:47,774 --> 00:26:51,148
And so Monica is over, Teyonah's over.
580
00:26:51,153 --> 00:26:55,644
And I'm switching all these coats
on and off, like, magically.
581
00:26:55,649 --> 00:26:57,197
And I'm in the kitchen and
582
00:26:57,201 --> 00:26:59,501
everything's kind of going
bonkers in the kitchen.
583
00:26:59,506 --> 00:27:02,284
I'm trying to hide my belly from her.
584
00:27:02,289 --> 00:27:05,834
And so, I keep magically
changing all of my coats.
585
00:27:06,496 --> 00:27:07,880
So, we'd have to freeze.
586
00:27:07,884 --> 00:27:10,828
And then someone would
come on and put on my coat,
587
00:27:10,833 --> 00:27:13,335
then I'd have to freeze again,
then I'd have a contraction.
588
00:27:13,926 --> 00:27:17,257
And there's a moment where
I had to do a double take
589
00:27:17,262 --> 00:27:19,469
and I kept making it like a triple take,
590
00:27:19,473 --> 00:27:20,802
and a quadruple take.
591
00:27:20,807 --> 00:27:24,223
I just kept, like,
amping it up each time.
592
00:27:24,228 --> 00:27:27,226
And it was the moment when
Matt came up to me and he said,
593
00:27:27,231 --> 00:27:29,028
"Okay, let's try and keep it...
594
00:27:29,033 --> 00:27:30,897
I think we're doing too much now,
595
00:27:30,901 --> 00:27:32,501
let's try and keep it to a double take".
596
00:27:32,506 --> 00:27:35,020
And it was the thing that
Matt keeps saying, like,
597
00:27:35,025 --> 00:27:36,772
"Go further, go further!"
598
00:27:36,777 --> 00:27:38,899
And I think that was
when I laughed so hard
599
00:27:38,904 --> 00:27:41,485
because he was telling me to stop.
600
00:27:41,490 --> 00:27:44,613
Vision ran to get the doctor.
He'll be back soon.
601
00:27:44,618 --> 00:27:46,399
Baby's born, and I miss it.
602
00:27:46,404 --> 00:27:48,099
But I'm there for the second baby,
603
00:27:48,103 --> 00:27:50,116
and then, "Oh, my God, they're twins!"
604
00:27:51,672 --> 00:27:55,796
So, yeah, we have twins, and,
uh, they're confusing, too,
605
00:27:55,801 --> 00:27:59,967
because they're born babies, but
very quickly, they're toddlers.
606
00:27:59,972 --> 00:28:01,348
Where are the twins?
607
00:28:02,432 --> 00:28:03,934
- Mommy?
- Daddy?
608
00:28:06,405 --> 00:28:08,241
Wha... Did y...
609
00:28:09,106 --> 00:28:13,647
And then, very quickly, they are,
610
00:28:13,652 --> 00:28:15,816
you know, sort of ten years old.
611
00:28:15,821 --> 00:28:18,525
We don't think you'll be old enough
612
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:22,072
to properly care for an animal
until you're at least...
613
00:28:22,077 --> 00:28:23,078
Ten.
614
00:28:24,264 --> 00:28:26,307
Ten years old.
615
00:28:26,832 --> 00:28:28,166
Look at each other.
616
00:28:30,043 --> 00:28:33,375
- Well, now, hang on there a minute...
- Wait, no, no, no.
617
00:28:33,380 --> 00:28:35,919
- ... you young whippersnappers.
- No, no, no!
618
00:28:37,434 --> 00:28:40,179
Let's just hope this dog
stays the same size.
619
00:28:44,725 --> 00:28:48,590
This is the '80s, yeah. So
we designed one basic layout,
620
00:28:48,595 --> 00:28:50,876
and then we've just changed
it through the decades.
621
00:28:50,881 --> 00:28:53,605
So, this is still the Dick Van Dyke set,
622
00:28:53,609 --> 00:28:56,106
inspired by Dick Van Dyke kitchen,
623
00:28:56,111 --> 00:28:57,858
but now this is the '80s
624
00:28:57,863 --> 00:29:00,277
inspired by Full House
and Family Ties...
625
00:29:00,282 --> 00:29:02,488
Growing Pains, all the shows
that we loved from the '80s.
626
00:29:02,492 --> 00:29:03,573
Now, I know
627
00:29:03,577 --> 00:29:05,365
parents aren't supposed
to take shortcuts,
628
00:29:05,370 --> 00:29:08,118
but I think this situation
calls for one, don't you?
629
00:29:08,123 --> 00:29:10,038
It's funny now when you look back at it,
630
00:29:10,042 --> 00:29:14,416
it's a beloved generation and it's
also a self-parodying era as well
631
00:29:14,421 --> 00:29:17,294
because you look at the hair and
the clothes and we all wonder,
632
00:29:17,299 --> 00:29:18,921
"We really thought that was cool?
633
00:29:18,926 --> 00:29:21,131
"How did we ever go
outside looking that way?"
634
00:29:21,136 --> 00:29:23,133
It's almost like we're on a date.
635
00:29:23,138 --> 00:29:24,635
Almost.
636
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,803
With two really cranky chaperones.
637
00:29:28,101 --> 00:29:32,684
My memories of the
'80s, as a '90s child,
638
00:29:32,689 --> 00:29:35,522
is that I still got to wear
these beautiful vests
639
00:29:35,526 --> 00:29:37,314
and things like this
640
00:29:37,319 --> 00:29:40,901
and had lots of beautiful hats
with big flowers on them.
641
00:29:40,906 --> 00:29:42,027
I just missed it,
642
00:29:42,032 --> 00:29:47,162
but the '80s were a horrible
time of style and hair.
643
00:29:47,913 --> 00:29:51,453
But I really actually am partial
to this wig, I have to say.
644
00:29:51,458 --> 00:29:52,663
- I'm...
- It's fabulous.
645
00:29:52,668 --> 00:29:54,253
I feel like I'm filled with secrets.
646
00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:59,011
At the end of the episode in the '80s,
647
00:29:59,016 --> 00:30:00,754
to Wanda's surprise,
648
00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:02,005
she gets a knock at the door.
649
00:30:02,010 --> 00:30:05,050
It was not something
that she consciously did.
650
00:30:05,055 --> 00:30:07,556
And so she's very confused by it.
651
00:30:07,561 --> 00:30:10,734
And the knock on the door
is her brother, Pietro.
652
00:30:10,739 --> 00:30:13,445
But he looks different because
it's Evan Peters.
653
00:30:13,450 --> 00:30:14,698
- No! Ow!
- Get over here!
654
00:30:14,702 --> 00:30:17,241
And the character he
plays is like Uncle Jesse.
655
00:30:17,246 --> 00:30:19,064
Come on!
656
00:30:19,069 --> 00:30:23,068
Like, the cool uncle, who's
coming in to stir things up.
657
00:30:23,073 --> 00:30:24,653
Right on, little dude!
658
00:30:24,658 --> 00:30:26,196
Chip off the old Maximoff block.
659
00:30:26,201 --> 00:30:27,447
You've got super speed!
660
00:30:27,452 --> 00:30:28,574
- I do?
- Yeah!
661
00:30:28,579 --> 00:30:30,617
And that's the trope he uses
662
00:30:30,622 --> 00:30:33,620
as part of his relationship
to the sitcom land.
663
00:30:33,625 --> 00:30:35,914
I can't believe what a
bad influence you are.
664
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:37,337
Who beefed in your borscht?
665
00:30:38,297 --> 00:30:40,669
I'm just trying to do my part. Okay?
666
00:30:40,674 --> 00:30:43,089
Come to town unexpectedly, create
tension with the brother-in-law,
667
00:30:43,093 --> 00:30:45,716
stir up trouble with the rugrats,
and ultimately give you grief.
668
00:30:45,721 --> 00:30:49,024
I mean, that's what
you wanted, isn't it?
669
00:30:50,017 --> 00:30:51,597
What happened to your accent?
670
00:30:51,602 --> 00:30:52,878
What happened to yours?
671
00:30:54,104 --> 00:30:56,685
I'm thrilled. I'm such a huge
fan of the Marvel Universe.
672
00:30:56,690 --> 00:30:59,062
So, I'm, like... I'm
just excited to be here.
673
00:30:59,067 --> 00:31:03,734
It's, like, the character
is so funny and meta,
674
00:31:03,739 --> 00:31:05,694
and an interesting way to do it.
675
00:31:05,699 --> 00:31:07,821
When Kevin was telling
me about it, I was like,
676
00:31:07,826 --> 00:31:10,866
"Oh, that sounds awesome,
and hilarious, and so weird".
677
00:31:10,871 --> 00:31:13,994
Long lost bro get to squeeze his
stinkin' sister to death or what?
678
00:31:16,084 --> 00:31:18,170
She recast Pietro?
679
00:31:18,921 --> 00:31:20,209
For the '80s,
680
00:31:20,214 --> 00:31:23,842
we're doing Family Ties,
Growing Pains, Who's the Boss.
681
00:31:24,991 --> 00:31:26,021
Who's the popsicle?
682
00:31:26,026 --> 00:31:28,217
And, yeah, that's my era,
683
00:31:28,222 --> 00:31:31,094
so I am very excited for that.
And then also, we're having
684
00:31:31,099 --> 00:31:35,933
our theme songs composed by

"Okay, so you know Wanda and
Vision from the Avengers.
692
00:31:58,919 --> 00:32:01,959
"This is a crazy idea.
It's like sitcoms,

696
00:32:09,146 --> 00:32:10,934
- And we were like...
- "Sign us up".

00:32:10,939 --> 00:32:14,388

But we decided, since
everything was so disparate,
704
00:32:39,685 --> 00:32:42,040
there's gonna be a '50s
song and a '60s song,
705
00:32:42,045 --> 00:32:44,751

709
00:32:53,015 --> 00:32:55,429
that would be able to be
used in a different way.
710
00:32:55,434 --> 00:32:57,431
I played them through for Kristen,
711
00:32:57,436 --> 00:32:58,974
but the first one was this.
712
00:33:00,939 --> 00:33:02,311
She was like, "That's the one".
713
00:33:02,316 --> 00:33:03,516
"That's it".
714
00:33:04,026 --> 00:33:06,064
It could be the '50s, where it's like...
715
00:33:10,282 --> 00:33:13,238
Or, um, you know, the
'60s one, which is, um...
716
00:33:19,987 --> 00:33:21,613
And the '80s one, which is...
717
00:33:25,714 --> 00:33:29,588
The fun became finding a way
to hide that musical signature
718
00:33:29,593 --> 00:33:30,797
somewhere in each song.
719
00:33:30,802 --> 00:33:36,011
♪ WandaVision! ♪
720
00:33:36,016 --> 00:33:38,521
You look at the period, the
influences of the period,
721
00:33:38,526 --> 00:33:40,350
and the instrumentation of the period,
722
00:33:40,354 --> 00:33:42,226
and the language of the period.
723
00:33:42,231 --> 00:33:45,145
We talked a lot with Matt
and Jac about our favorites.
724
00:33:45,150 --> 00:33:47,189
The things that we were all drawn to
725
00:33:47,194 --> 00:33:51,109
became the things that we
tried to emulate the most.
726
00:33:51,114 --> 00:33:54,404
We often talked to them
before we hit each decade,
727
00:33:54,409 --> 00:33:55,681
at least for a half hour.
728
00:33:55,686 --> 00:33:58,367
So, you know, we would...
729
00:33:58,372 --> 00:34:02,329
Maybe we did the '50s and
the '60s on the same call,
730
00:34:02,334 --> 00:34:04,706
and said, "Well, we
know what the '50s is.
731
00:34:04,711 --> 00:34:06,672
"'60s, let's talk about it". Um...
732
00:34:07,662 --> 00:34:11,088
And, you know, all agreed
that Bewitched in particular,
733
00:34:11,093 --> 00:34:13,590
um, was a big thing.
734
00:34:13,595 --> 00:34:16,166
But we also looked at James Bond movies,
735
00:34:16,170 --> 00:34:17,678
we looked at Burt Bacharach...
736
00:34:17,683 --> 00:34:20,347
- We looked at, um...
- Mahna Mahna.
737
00:34:20,352 --> 00:34:24,226
... what was going on in
the pop culture of that time,
738
00:34:24,231 --> 00:34:26,879
and made sure that we
were really referencing
739
00:34:26,884 --> 00:34:30,382
sort of that bebop jazz,
the cool jazz that was there.
740
00:34:30,387 --> 00:34:35,095

Sixties culture of the time.

in particular, the '80s

00:35:26,043 --> 00:35:28,123
is where we're all from,
where we grew up in.
759
00:35:28,128 --> 00:35:29,634
After school, that's where we'd go home
760
00:35:29,638 --> 00:35:32,461

and Punky Brewster, and...
761
00:35:32,466 --> 00:35:34,296
Right. I mean, our whole family life
762
00:35:34,301 --> 00:35:39,218
was scheduled around Family Ties
coming on, or Growing Pains.
763
00:35:39,223 --> 00:35:43,305

the '80s is by far my favorite.

772
00:36:07,626 --> 00:36:11,208

We got to play in a totally
different kind of playground,
777
00:36:23,438 --> 00:36:25,977
with a completely new set of references,
778
00:36:25,982 --> 00:36:28,621
and show off other
things that we could do.
779
00:36:28,626 --> 00:36:30,658
And we got to write things
that really didn't have to
780
00:36:30,662 --> 00:36:33,877
carry a whole lot of story
weight, just had to set tone.
781
00:36:33,882 --> 00:36:36,921
I think it's a tone unlike
anything I've ever seen.
782
00:36:36,926 --> 00:36:39,674
It's fun, it's funny,
783
00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:42,949
it's nostalgic, and it's creepy.
784
00:36:48,109 --> 00:36:51,123
To jump off the genre blending,
785
00:36:51,128 --> 00:36:54,543
even in the '50s and '60s episodes,
786
00:36:54,548 --> 00:36:57,087
we have moments of Twilight Zone.
787
00:36:57,092 --> 00:37:01,175
And instead of it being
moments of today's horror,
788
00:37:01,180 --> 00:37:04,262
we take camera tricks from Twilight Zone
789
00:37:04,266 --> 00:37:06,105
to make you feel off-kilter.
790
00:37:06,110 --> 00:37:09,933
So, in order to get to
that cinematic feeling
791
00:37:09,938 --> 00:37:14,738
or sense of something
being off in each...
792
00:37:14,743 --> 00:37:16,232
'Cause something has to go wrong
793
00:37:16,236 --> 00:37:18,291
in order to advance to the next decade,
794
00:37:18,296 --> 00:37:19,902
or else why are you changing
795
00:37:19,906 --> 00:37:22,654
the scenario or the given circumstances?
796
00:37:22,659 --> 00:37:26,617
And so we used Twilight
Zone tropes for that.
797
00:37:26,622 --> 00:37:30,078
And then, for something like once
we get to the Halloween episode,
798
00:37:30,083 --> 00:37:32,539
we're in this idyllic
town, it's Halloween,
799
00:37:32,544 --> 00:37:34,500
it's like the perfect type of Halloween.
800
00:37:34,505 --> 00:37:38,045
Truly the most charming costumes
I've seen on extras ever.
801
00:37:38,050 --> 00:37:40,088
It was very, very cute.
802
00:37:40,093 --> 00:37:43,800
And kids are wreaking havoc,
and it's just perfect.
803
00:37:43,805 --> 00:37:46,995
Somebody better be
bleeding, broken, or on fire.
804
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,890
It was so fun to get to be
805
00:37:48,894 --> 00:37:51,642
in these old costumes of the characters.
806
00:37:51,647 --> 00:37:53,644
Why do you... look different?
807
00:37:53,649 --> 00:37:56,630
In Age of Ultron, everyone referenced
808
00:37:56,635 --> 00:37:58,857
certain comic books for me to focus on,
809
00:37:58,862 --> 00:38:01,735
and told me, "Don't pay attention
to what she's wearing.
810
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:03,488
You're not gonna be in a leotard, tights
811
00:38:03,492 --> 00:38:05,280
and a crown on your head. I swear".
812
00:38:05,285 --> 00:38:07,407
And I was like, "Oh, thank God".
813
00:38:07,412 --> 00:38:09,743
And now, the way we incorporated
814
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:14,832
the retro costume of the
Scarlet Witch on Halloween,
815
00:38:14,837 --> 00:38:17,125
it gave me so much joy.
816
00:38:17,130 --> 00:38:21,213
Like, if you were to ask me
seven years ago to wear that,
817
00:38:21,218 --> 00:38:23,131
even if it were ironically,
818
00:38:23,136 --> 00:38:25,592
I would be like, "Oh, really?"
819
00:38:25,597 --> 00:38:29,179
But now that I've so much
love for the fandom
820
00:38:29,184 --> 00:38:31,557
and so much love for the comics,
821
00:38:31,562 --> 00:38:33,851
it's so fun to be in that costume.
822
00:38:33,856 --> 00:38:36,270
I love you. I'm sorry.
823
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,904
And seeing Paul dressed like a wrestler,
824
00:38:45,909 --> 00:38:50,868
he, it's just the whole... It's
just he's... It's so funny.
825
00:38:50,873 --> 00:38:54,746
Thank you for humoring me and
wearing this ridiculous get-up, honey.
826
00:38:54,751 --> 00:38:56,753
There were no other
clothes in my closet, so...
827
00:38:57,838 --> 00:39:01,300
I get to disguise myself as the Vision,
828
00:39:02,134 --> 00:39:04,882
but the Vision from the comic books.
829
00:39:04,887 --> 00:39:07,759
And it was my favorite costume
830
00:39:07,764 --> 00:39:12,306
'cause it was so humiliating and funny
831
00:39:12,311 --> 00:39:18,270
and I had a pair of shorts pulled
very high up around my waist,
832
00:39:18,275 --> 00:39:21,732
and yellow Converse
to be my super-shoes.
833
00:39:21,737 --> 00:39:24,818
When Vision goes out further
834
00:39:24,823 --> 00:39:27,029
to where we call "Ellis Avenue",
835
00:39:27,034 --> 00:39:28,906
um, I always told the kids...
836
00:39:28,911 --> 00:39:31,491
Don't go past Ellis Avenue.
837
00:39:31,496 --> 00:39:33,076
We know, Mom. We know.
838
00:39:33,081 --> 00:39:34,620
That's the end of the Hex.
839
00:39:34,625 --> 00:39:37,247
And so, the closer you
get to the end of the Hex,
840
00:39:37,252 --> 00:39:40,334
the less control Wanda
has of the actual town,
841
00:39:40,339 --> 00:39:46,011
and people are just
doing things by rote.
842
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,764
People are having
these repetitive things,
843
00:39:53,769 --> 00:39:55,499
or hanging up Halloween decorations,
844
00:39:55,504 --> 00:39:57,476
and taking it down, and doing it again.
845
00:39:57,481 --> 00:40:00,938
And characters that you realize
846
00:40:00,943 --> 00:40:05,025
are just less well drawn by Wanda.
847
00:40:05,030 --> 00:40:06,610
And then he gets further out,
848
00:40:06,615 --> 00:40:09,404
and he finds children trick-or-treating,
849
00:40:09,409 --> 00:40:13,408
but they're just
absolutely frozen still.
850
00:40:13,413 --> 00:40:14,623
Are those your children?
851
00:40:17,307 --> 00:40:18,934
Are you waiting for something?
852
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,799
And that leads to the
denouement of the whole show.
853
00:40:28,804 --> 00:40:30,593
It's so much fun to have gone through
854
00:40:30,597 --> 00:40:33,512
all of these multi-camera sitcom stuff.
855
00:40:33,517 --> 00:40:36,557
You're shooting in a
very familiar way, right?
856
00:40:36,562 --> 00:40:38,183
Very static cameras.
857
00:40:38,188 --> 00:40:41,570
And then suddenly, when you cut to
an angle that shouldn't be there
858
00:40:41,575 --> 00:40:43,981
or a camera move that would never...
859
00:40:43,986 --> 00:40:46,900
It really, you really feel it
when you're watching it,
860
00:40:46,905 --> 00:40:49,778
so it's a great storytelling
tool. And then, of course,
861
00:40:49,783 --> 00:40:52,614
in the end, everything kind
of breaks down and becomes,
862
00:40:52,619 --> 00:40:57,791
"We're in the real world, in an
MCU version of the real world".
863
00:41:00,294 --> 00:41:01,753
- Am I dead?
- No.
864
00:41:02,546 --> 00:41:04,998
- Why would you think that?
- Because you are.
865
00:41:10,483 --> 00:41:12,516
We are standing at the very front
866
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,178
of what we call "the pop-up base",
867
00:41:14,183 --> 00:41:18,390
which is our military base
set up by S.W.O.R.D.
868
00:41:18,395 --> 00:41:19,892
to investigate the anomaly
869
00:41:19,896 --> 00:41:22,357
that Wanda has set up here in Westview.
870
00:41:23,734 --> 00:41:25,647
So that's what this building is about,
871
00:41:25,652 --> 00:41:27,024
a temporary structure
872
00:41:27,029 --> 00:41:30,699
from which to observe and
deal with this problem.
873
00:41:35,172 --> 00:41:36,376
We're in the Marvel world,
874
00:41:36,381 --> 00:41:38,215
so in many ways, you'd expect we would
875
00:41:38,219 --> 00:41:40,455
start with something a bit more stylized
876
00:41:40,460 --> 00:41:42,831
and, sort of, you know, sci-fi.
877
00:41:42,836 --> 00:41:45,083
But we wanted to make it
a little more realistic,
878
00:41:45,088 --> 00:41:46,793
so we started with ideas
879
00:41:46,798 --> 00:41:49,588
of what kind of military response
880
00:41:49,592 --> 00:41:51,590
is there to a disaster, for example,
881
00:41:51,595 --> 00:41:53,675
if it were a chemical attack,
882
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,886
or nuclear attack, or
something like that.
883
00:41:55,891 --> 00:41:59,706
And they actually have these
response teams called CBRNs,
884
00:41:59,711 --> 00:42:01,141
which go out and deal with
885
00:42:01,146 --> 00:42:04,186
chemical, biological,
radiological and nuclear threats.
886
00:42:04,191 --> 00:42:05,896
So it's sort of inspired by that.
887
00:42:05,901 --> 00:42:08,524
Now, that said, the building behind me
888
00:42:08,528 --> 00:42:10,567
is a complete hybrid, it isn't...
889
00:42:10,572 --> 00:42:14,446
Nothing exists like this in the
air force, in the army, or marines.
890
00:42:14,451 --> 00:42:16,282
So, we made up our own version of it
891
00:42:16,286 --> 00:42:18,158
to make it a little more Marvel-like.
892
00:42:18,163 --> 00:42:19,785
What do we have up?
893
00:42:19,790 --> 00:42:23,288
Radar, lidar, sodar, infrared.
894
00:42:23,293 --> 00:42:24,414
Cycle through.
895
00:42:24,419 --> 00:42:26,542
We're inside the pop-up base
896
00:42:26,547 --> 00:42:30,170
monitoring the Hex,
which is what Darcy calls
897
00:42:30,175 --> 00:42:35,634
the magical Wanda-world Westview area.
898
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:40,055
So, this is all different
kinds of military
899
00:42:40,060 --> 00:42:43,600
and space-science people,
900
00:42:43,605 --> 00:42:46,603
and then, there's my
little desk back there.
901
00:42:46,608 --> 00:42:48,605
They gave her like
her own little corner,
902
00:42:48,610 --> 00:42:54,278
um, where she's basically
cracked the "the magic".
903
00:42:54,283 --> 00:42:56,324
So, you're saying the universe created
904
00:42:56,328 --> 00:42:58,495
a sitcom starring two Avengers?
905
00:43:00,038 --> 00:43:01,660
It's a working theory.
906
00:43:01,665 --> 00:43:04,204
Darcy discovers that there's
907
00:43:04,209 --> 00:43:08,484
basically an old television
signal emanating from the Hex,
908
00:43:08,489 --> 00:43:09,693
from the anomaly.
909
00:43:09,698 --> 00:43:11,841
And she goes, and she grabs an old TV
910
00:43:11,845 --> 00:43:13,739
with a piece of rabbit ears on it,
911
00:43:13,744 --> 00:43:15,007
and she picks up the TV show
912
00:43:15,011 --> 00:43:17,034
that Wanda's broadcasting
out from the Hex.
913
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:20,054
So, what we do is, in each period
914
00:43:20,058 --> 00:43:23,888
that Wanda iterates within the Hex,
915
00:43:23,893 --> 00:43:25,976
we bring in those period TVs.
916
00:43:25,981 --> 00:43:29,860
So you see late '50s,
'60s, '70s, and so on.
917
00:43:30,652 --> 00:43:32,858
Everything might look fake in the TV,
918
00:43:32,862 --> 00:43:34,610
but everything in there is real.
919
00:43:34,615 --> 00:43:36,287
What's fun is just the contrast.
920
00:43:36,291 --> 00:43:39,031
We started in this very,
sort of, light sitcom world,
921
00:43:39,036 --> 00:43:41,834
which I had never designed
before, so that was fun.
922
00:43:41,839 --> 00:43:45,546
But then, to then dive
right into, sort of,
923
00:43:45,551 --> 00:43:48,916
straight-ahead MCU style,
924
00:43:48,921 --> 00:43:51,335
visual style, acting style,
script, and all that,
925
00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:54,296
just is delightful after
all of that, in a way,
926
00:43:54,301 --> 00:43:57,174
just because, you know, "Is this
all in the same movie?" It is.
927
00:43:57,179 --> 00:44:00,010
Which is great, but just
the design challenges
928
00:44:00,015 --> 00:44:03,310
of having to go from that
to this, that's really fun.
929
00:44:06,063 --> 00:44:10,270
We're at the town square
which is in Hollywood,
930
00:44:10,275 --> 00:44:14,107
so basically, we see that in
six periods pretty extensively.
931
00:44:14,112 --> 00:44:17,069
So much of it is a design challenge
to get all of that right,
932
00:44:17,074 --> 00:44:20,155
to, sort of, express the period,
it's sort of unprecedented.
933
00:44:23,392 --> 00:44:26,223
Part of the challenge is that we
don't have a shooting schedule
934
00:44:26,228 --> 00:44:29,012
that allows us to shoot for
two days, go away for two days,
935
00:44:29,017 --> 00:44:31,416
turn it around, repaint, come back.
936
00:44:31,421 --> 00:44:33,752
We're literally doing
overnight changeovers.
937
00:44:33,757 --> 00:44:36,463
Which means that we
have to basically define
938
00:44:36,467 --> 00:44:38,090
all of the design changes,
939
00:44:38,095 --> 00:44:39,883
all the pieces you're gonna bring in,
940
00:44:39,888 --> 00:44:42,811
design them, build them, paint
them, prefit them probably,
941
00:44:42,816 --> 00:44:44,563
so you know exactly what you're doing,
942
00:44:44,568 --> 00:44:48,275
and everything comes in almost
like LEGO in a certain way.
943
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,769
All these parts come in
and go up very quickly,
944
00:44:50,774 --> 00:44:53,455
'cause you've only got, maybe, 12 hours
945
00:44:53,459 --> 00:44:55,604
to complete this turnaround.
946
00:44:57,114 --> 00:44:58,949
"For the children!"
947
00:45:16,675 --> 00:45:19,636
The experience of doing the finale
948
00:45:20,262 --> 00:45:23,510
when Wanda, she has to
run through town square,
949
00:45:23,515 --> 00:45:26,143
and she's looking for Agnes, or Agatha,
950
00:45:27,019 --> 00:45:30,809
and all of the people in
the town start to wake up,
951
00:45:30,814 --> 00:45:34,193
and surround her, and crowd her almost,
952
00:45:35,194 --> 00:45:37,024
like, begging her to let them go.
953
00:45:37,029 --> 00:45:40,402
I can't take this anymore,
Wanda, please.
954
00:45:40,407 --> 00:45:41,408
Please!
955
00:45:47,372 --> 00:45:51,497
It was a very long sequence.
It had quite a climax.
956
00:45:51,502 --> 00:45:54,187
I mean, who is the boss here, Wanda?
957
00:45:55,422 --> 00:45:57,508
Heroes don't torture people.
958
00:45:58,175 --> 00:46:00,496
Getting to do a wide like that,
959
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:02,508
it feels like a piece of theater.
960
00:46:02,513 --> 00:46:06,929
It felt really satisfying
to do emotionally, I think.
961
00:46:06,934 --> 00:46:08,697
And it just felt epic, like the...
962
00:46:08,702 --> 00:46:10,487
There's some moments when these movies
963
00:46:10,491 --> 00:46:13,227
just feel like so cinematic on the day,
964
00:46:13,232 --> 00:46:16,146
and that just felt really grand.
965
00:46:18,237 --> 00:46:22,110
Go, now, all of you. Go!
966
00:46:22,115 --> 00:46:23,909
Run!
967
00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:29,076
What's so special about this script
968
00:46:29,081 --> 00:46:32,216
is that you don't actually know
what is coming from where,
969
00:46:32,221 --> 00:46:34,306
and who is actually the bad person,
970
00:46:34,962 --> 00:46:37,167
and when someone has ulterior motives,
971
00:46:37,172 --> 00:46:39,294
and what's actually happening.
972
00:46:39,299 --> 00:46:42,631
So, sometimes you feel like,
973
00:46:42,636 --> 00:46:45,050
"Well, Wanda is the
bad... She's the villain.
974
00:46:45,055 --> 00:46:49,096
She has turned all of these
people's lives upside down.
975
00:46:49,101 --> 00:46:50,456
She's the villain".
976
00:46:50,461 --> 00:46:55,424
Then, you find out that, well,
Agnes is pretty terrible.
977
00:46:56,316 --> 00:47:01,191
She's got her own thing that she's
been brewing the entire time,
978
00:47:01,196 --> 00:47:06,029
and kinda counteracting,
counter-magicking Wanda.
979
00:47:06,034 --> 00:47:09,997
And then you have, um, Hayward,
980
00:47:10,873 --> 00:47:15,539
he's pretty not a very good person.
981
00:47:15,544 --> 00:47:19,418
And he's got his own
agenda that's throwing...
982
00:47:19,423 --> 00:47:21,670
Everyone has their own agenda,
983
00:47:21,675 --> 00:47:23,939
and what's great is that at some point,
984
00:47:23,944 --> 00:47:26,552
you see it all clash and blow up
985
00:47:26,557 --> 00:47:29,819
into an epic superhero fight,
might I say.
986
00:47:31,384 --> 00:47:34,591
Last one to town square is
a walking pair of mom jeans.
987
00:47:34,596 --> 00:47:36,518
... burden!
988
00:47:37,858 --> 00:47:40,522
Usually, I'm like one of
the only flyers.
989
00:47:40,527 --> 00:47:43,192
Like, I'm the only one on wires often.
990
00:47:43,197 --> 00:47:46,945
That is something I do
a lot in these films.
991
00:47:49,745 --> 00:47:51,783
I mean, it looks like a blast.
992
00:47:51,788 --> 00:47:54,912
And so, I feel like it's the first time
993
00:47:54,917 --> 00:48:00,501
Marvel has had to accommodate
for so many flying sequences.
994
00:48:00,506 --> 00:48:03,462
And it was a real challenge...
995
00:48:03,467 --> 00:48:05,631
I mean, Kathryn's in
a ridiculous costume
996
00:48:05,636 --> 00:48:09,134
that is very uncomfortable
to harness and fly in.
997
00:48:09,139 --> 00:48:14,264
But we all just, like,
we're always harnessed
998
00:48:14,269 --> 00:48:16,063
like, for the last six weeks.
999
00:48:16,647 --> 00:48:20,896
We've been harnessed quite
a bit, and it was so fun.
1000
00:48:20,901 --> 00:48:22,606
It was... I love flying.
1001
00:48:22,611 --> 00:48:26,443
I love doing all the flying work,
I really, truly enjoy it so much.
1002
00:48:26,448 --> 00:48:29,071
But we... I think it's the first time
1003
00:48:29,076 --> 00:48:31,198
I think Marvel's really had to create
1004
00:48:31,202 --> 00:48:33,033
a full fight sequence in the air.
1005
00:48:40,796 --> 00:48:42,548
I think my most gratifying was
1006
00:48:43,590 --> 00:48:46,421
when I finally put on Agatha's hero look
1007
00:48:46,426 --> 00:48:51,552
and was able to be raised up in
those wires for the first time.
1008
00:48:51,557 --> 00:48:54,046
- You look amazing.
- You look amazing.
1009
00:48:54,051 --> 00:48:56,265
And feel those huge fans on me,
1010
00:48:56,270 --> 00:48:57,626
even though it was like a hundred
1011
00:48:57,630 --> 00:48:59,184
and something degrees outside.
1012
00:48:59,189 --> 00:49:03,021
It was like crazy just to feel
all the work of all these people
1013
00:49:03,026 --> 00:49:07,526
that had gone into collaborating,
into helping make her.
1014
00:49:07,531 --> 00:49:09,783
You're supposed to be a myth.
1015
00:49:10,909 --> 00:49:15,367
A being capable of spontaneous creation,
1016
00:49:15,372 --> 00:49:20,914
and here you are, using it
to make breakfast for dinner!
1017
00:49:20,919 --> 00:49:22,471
To play the good and the bad,
1018
00:49:22,475 --> 00:49:25,752
to play the wicked and the playful,
1019
00:49:25,757 --> 00:49:29,131
and to play a villain that's also funny,
1020
00:49:29,136 --> 00:49:30,924
it's the best.
1021
00:49:30,929 --> 00:49:33,260
There's more. I want it all.
1022
00:49:33,265 --> 00:49:35,012
When you're on these big films,
1023
00:49:35,016 --> 00:49:36,547
and you get all those pieces moving
1024
00:49:36,552 --> 00:49:40,601
that are in the world's control,
it feels really special.
1025
00:49:40,606 --> 00:49:41,940
Thanks for the lesson...
1026
00:49:44,573 --> 00:49:50,596
but I don't need you
to tell me who I am.
1027
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,201
The features, as you know, set
a very high bar for the look,
1028
00:49:57,206 --> 00:50:01,121
and for the effects to
supplement the story,
1029
00:50:01,125 --> 00:50:02,831
not overwhelm the story.
1030
00:50:02,836 --> 00:50:06,135
That same mandate for the features
1031
00:50:06,140 --> 00:50:07,711
was absolutely what they were wanting
1032
00:50:07,715 --> 00:50:10,130
to achieve for the streaming service.
1033
00:50:10,135 --> 00:50:13,383
Vision himself, he's
a digital prosthetic.
1034
00:50:13,388 --> 00:50:15,177
Poor Paul, we paint him purple,
1035
00:50:15,182 --> 00:50:16,895
and he has to go through
the day like that.
1036
00:50:16,900 --> 00:50:20,349
But otherwise, all the rest
of that is a digital effect.
1037
00:50:20,354 --> 00:50:25,303
Every time Vision's synthezoid,
that he's got a CG face,
1038
00:50:25,308 --> 00:50:29,066
so we would go back to Matt and say,
1039
00:50:29,071 --> 00:50:30,734
"Do you know, for this beat,
1040
00:50:30,739 --> 00:50:34,012
does he really need to be synthezoid?
Could he be human?"
1041
00:50:34,017 --> 00:50:36,515
And Matt and Jac would
often come back with,
1042
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,267
"Well, he's his true self.
1043
00:50:38,272 --> 00:50:39,936
You know, when he's in his home,
1044
00:50:39,940 --> 00:50:42,454
we want specific beats to be synthezoid
1045
00:50:42,459 --> 00:50:44,049
even though they're visual effect shots,
1046
00:50:44,053 --> 00:50:47,125
just because it's who he is
when he's at home with Wanda".
1047
00:50:47,130 --> 00:50:51,171
So, we let the story determine
when we'd use the visual effects.
1048
00:50:51,176 --> 00:50:54,550
So when we translated Red
Vision into black and white,
1049
00:50:54,555 --> 00:50:56,034
he didn't really look like Vision.
1050
00:50:56,039 --> 00:50:59,371
We did tests using footage
from the previous films
1051
00:50:59,376 --> 00:51:01,665
as my first week on the job.
1052
00:51:01,670 --> 00:51:03,815
We knocked on a colorist's
door and said,
1053
00:51:03,819 --> 00:51:05,466
"Can we come and see
what he looks like?"
1054
00:51:05,471 --> 00:51:07,771
And we quickly realized
he would have to be blue.
1055
00:51:07,776 --> 00:51:09,063
During the '50s and '60s,
1056
00:51:09,067 --> 00:51:11,400
actresses would actually
use blue makeup,
1057
00:51:11,405 --> 00:51:13,360
blue lipstick so their
lips would appear red.
1058
00:51:13,365 --> 00:51:16,154
And lo and behold, we
did the same with Paul,
1059
00:51:16,159 --> 00:51:19,283
found the right, uh, shade of
blue during some camera tests,
1060
00:51:19,288 --> 00:51:21,512
did a little additional
tweaking in the DI
1061
00:51:21,516 --> 00:51:23,125
and found a really good target.
1062
00:51:28,109 --> 00:51:32,525
What we got to was a place where
we really keep the performance.
1063
00:51:32,530 --> 00:51:34,235
Paul is Vision,
1064
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:37,822
and so what we end up doing is
kind of painting out his ears,
1065
00:51:37,827 --> 00:51:41,342
and augmenting and
tracking CG onto his body,
1066
00:51:41,347 --> 00:51:42,473
but that's him.
1067
00:51:48,145 --> 00:51:51,560
Wanda's world is her safe haven,
1068
00:51:51,565 --> 00:51:56,533
so when the Hex takes
over the military base,
1069
00:51:57,159 --> 00:52:00,449
it turns into a happy thing, into a...
1070
00:52:00,454 --> 00:52:04,044
a kind of absurd thing almost,
which is the circus, which is fun.
1071
00:52:04,049 --> 00:52:06,855
For visual effects, it wasn't
necessarily a complicated thing.
1072
00:52:06,860 --> 00:52:08,912
You shoot the A side, then
you shoot the B side,
1073
00:52:09,296 --> 00:52:11,089
and then you augment each.
1074
00:52:14,718 --> 00:52:18,717
We knew that the Hex
had to be a boundary
1075
00:52:18,722 --> 00:52:22,262
that kept the townspeople in,
1076
00:52:22,267 --> 00:52:25,766
but that was mysterious to
the people on the outside.
1077
00:52:25,771 --> 00:52:28,519
We decided early that it
would be more mysterious
1078
00:52:28,524 --> 00:52:30,521
if it was an invisible Hex.
1079
00:52:30,526 --> 00:52:33,022
And so it helped build tension
1080
00:52:33,026 --> 00:52:35,609
and we got to make it look quite cool.
1081
00:52:35,614 --> 00:52:41,156
We looked at all different manners
of film boundaries in the past
1082
00:52:41,161 --> 00:52:43,659
and decided that we wanted our Hex
1083
00:52:43,663 --> 00:52:45,332
to have the language of television.
1084
00:52:47,209 --> 00:52:53,126
So, we studied how magnets were
drawn on old CRT televisions
1085
00:52:53,131 --> 00:52:56,196
and the magnetization you
would get across the screen,
1086
00:52:56,201 --> 00:52:57,785
the pixelization you would get
1087
00:52:57,789 --> 00:52:59,905
when you zoomed way into an old TV.
1088
00:53:00,305 --> 00:53:03,136
The cathodic lines or those
skinny lines that you would see
1089
00:53:03,141 --> 00:53:05,931
in NTSC old, square TVs.
1090
00:53:05,936 --> 00:53:08,475
And so we went to photography,
1091
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,811
and we found our favorite images
1092
00:53:10,815 --> 00:53:12,688
for what this boundary could be,
1093
00:53:12,693 --> 00:53:14,486
using the language of television.
1094
00:53:16,321 --> 00:53:20,612
Westview was meant to
be Wanda's idyllic town,
1095
00:53:20,617 --> 00:53:22,531
so that was a touchstone.
1096
00:53:22,536 --> 00:53:25,138
Everything about Wanda's home inside,
1097
00:53:25,142 --> 00:53:27,160
outside, and the town they live in,
1098
00:53:27,165 --> 00:53:32,124
came from this concept that she
recreated the reality she wanted
1099
00:53:32,129 --> 00:53:34,715
from her childhood, from
those television shows.
1100
00:53:35,757 --> 00:53:38,630
Really, it's executing a vision
1101
00:53:38,634 --> 00:53:40,704
to the standard that
Wanda would have wanted.
1102
00:53:51,615 --> 00:53:55,022
As far as TV goes,
there is an argument that
1103
00:53:55,027 --> 00:53:59,401
Avengers and the Marvel MCU
1104
00:53:59,406 --> 00:54:04,740
is the largest episodic
experiment ever, right?
1105
00:54:04,745 --> 00:54:07,592
Because it's like these shows
1106
00:54:07,596 --> 00:54:09,494
that then have spin-offs
that are interconnected
1107
00:54:09,499 --> 00:54:12,414
and then different...
Until we culminate.
1108
00:54:12,419 --> 00:54:13,670
Spirits lifted.
1109
00:54:14,129 --> 00:54:17,294
It has always been
episodic storytelling,
1110
00:54:17,299 --> 00:54:20,631
so that didn't feel
that different for me.
1111
00:54:20,636 --> 00:54:24,259
What feels different is the
focus on Wanda and Vision,
1112
00:54:24,264 --> 00:54:26,303
which is really nice
after all this time.
1113
00:54:26,308 --> 00:54:29,515
I think the beauty of
what Jac Schaeffer,
1114
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,560
and Mary Livanos, Matt,
and Feige put together
1115
00:54:33,565 --> 00:54:38,232
was a story that can only be
told in the medium of television.
1116
00:54:38,237 --> 00:54:41,860
And the way we're telling
it is a complete conversation
1117
00:54:41,865 --> 00:54:43,487
of American sitcom
1118
00:54:43,491 --> 00:54:46,121
hitting against the Marvel
Cinematic Universe.
1119
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,738
For Marvel to take the opportunity
to do a television show,
1120
00:54:52,743 --> 00:54:55,540
and for the first show to come
out to be an actual love song
1121
00:54:55,544 --> 00:54:57,543
to American sitcoms,
1122
00:54:57,548 --> 00:55:03,095
is so perfect, and it's so perfect
for Wanda's character.
1123
00:55:05,556 --> 00:55:09,596
Dick Van Dyke again? Always
"sitcom, sitcom, sitcom..."
1124
00:55:09,601 --> 00:55:12,307
The thing that I really loved
at the end of the journey
1125
00:55:12,312 --> 00:55:13,934
is, I think it's the first time
1126
00:55:13,938 --> 00:55:17,271
Wanda has really accepted who she is
1127
00:55:17,276 --> 00:55:20,440
and actually puts to bed so much pain.
1128
00:55:20,445 --> 00:55:25,362
And we find her finally
having peace and being okay.
1129
00:55:25,367 --> 00:55:27,072
I can't feel you.
1130
00:55:27,077 --> 00:55:33,495
I'm so excited now that we've
cracked open this other part of her,
1131
00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:37,749
so that there hopefully could
be more stories to tell.
1132
00:55:37,754 --> 00:55:39,334
It's been such a gift,
1133
00:55:39,338 --> 00:55:43,297
and so I really loved doing this show.
1134
00:55:43,302 --> 00:55:44,590
Cut.
1135
00:55:44,595 --> 00:55:46,597
That is a wrap on Lizzy.
1136
00:55:48,015 --> 00:55:49,428
I've never experienced loss
1137
00:55:49,433 --> 00:55:53,353
because I've never had
a loved one to lose.
1138
00:55:55,689 --> 00:55:56,982
But what is grief...
1139
00:55:58,525 --> 00:56:01,570
if not love persevering?
1140
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:07,700
