Exclusive: Head Writer and Showrunner Jac Schaeffer talks WandaVision

Currently playing on Disney+ is Marvel Studios’ captivating new series “WandaVision,” starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany.

“WandaVision” marks the first series from Marvel Studios streaming exclusively on Disney+. The series is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision, two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. 

“WandaVision,” the first Marvel Studios series created exclusively for Disney+, stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, Paul Bettany as Vision, Kathryn Hahn as Agnes, and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, who was introduced to audiences in “Captain Marvel.” Kat Dennings will reprise her role as Darcy from “Thor” and “Thor: The Dark World,” and Randall Park will reprise his role as Jimmy Woo from “Ant-Man and The Wasp.” 

Named Showrunner and Head Writer of the series is Jac Schaeffer, who served as a co-writer on Captain Marvel and the upcoming Black Widow film. She previously directed, produced and wrote her 2009 feature film debut TiMER, which starred Emma Caulfield. Caulfield has a role on WandaVision thanks to Schaeffer. BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales recently spoke with Schaeffer on her transition from being a team player as a writer to a team leader as a Showrunner.
