Marvel boss Nate Moore has poured cold water over the suggestion that WandaVision could return for a second season.

The MCU spin-off, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, proved a hit with fans when it debuted on Disney Plus earlier this year.

Olsen and Bettany reprised their previous Marvel roles as Wanda Maximoff (AKA Scarlett Witch) and Vision, as the pair were trapped inside an eerie reality modelled after classic US sitcoms.

Speaking to IndieWire, Moore, Marvel Studio’s vice president of production and development, said: “[Wanda] can’t go back into that reality.

““That is such a complete arc of what that character can do and what that story wanted to do.”

However, Moore seemed to suggest that other series on Marvel’s Disney Plus slate, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki, will be renewed for second instalments.

Falcon and Winter Soldier is really about dealing with, to me, the legacy of what a superhero is, through the lens of Captain America and his shield, but ultimately through the lens of all these different characters,” he said.

“And that’s a story I think you can revisit in subsequent seasons because it’s an evergreen story. It’s a conversation.”

WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier are streaming now on Disney Plus.
