Of all the Marvel shows announced for streaming service Disney+, WandaVision definitely looks like it could be the weirdest (and that's factoring in a series where Captain America is a zombie).
The show will focus on the relationship between the superhuman Wanda/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and the android Vision (Paul Bettany) – except it will be set after the latest two Avengers movies, where things happened that would make their relationship difficult to say the least.
We still don't know how that's going to work (not to mention how out there the creators are going to go with it, tonally) but we do now know that the series will feature the return of some Marvel Cinematic Universe characters we weren't expecting at all.

"What world have I entered into? This is so awesome!" she said after she was introduced on stage by Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige (via Entertainment Weekly).
It was also previously announced that a character from Captain Marvel will be making a surprise return to the franchise as well, with Teyonah Parris playing a grown-up Monica Rambeau.
