Perhaps partly due to that very specific take,WandaVisionwill be Marvel Studios’ most family-friendly production to this date. According to Disney Plus’ own site, the show will have a TV-PG in the United States, slightly lower than the typical MCU film, all of which stick to a PG-13 rating. Though measured on different scales, the PG-13 rating is roughly equivalent to television’s TV-14 bracket, so expect a bit less action than usual fromWandaVision’ssuburban setting.
As stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany have remarked in their press rounds, the series is unlike anything seen on TV before. The same goesfor producer Kevin Feige, who’s stated that something likeWandaVisionsimply couldn’t have been made for movie theaters and is only possible on streaming. Die-hard MCU action fans shouldn’t be too discouraged though, as the UK’s “12+” rating for the series remains with the rest of Marvel films when released in that territory.
Throughout its nine episodes,WandaVisionis bound to take on different forms, something which has been echoed by producers, so fans should not simply expect a sitcom take for everyone of Scarlet Witch and Vision’s adventures. After all,WandaVision’spossible play on alternate realitiesand parallel universes is also supposed to have significant consequences on the developments of events in the rest of the MCU and maybe some surprise guest appearances as well.
