WandaVision Gives Jimmy Woo s Introduction a Subtle Callback to Ant-Man and the Wasp
WandaVision Episode 4 not only brings Jimmy Woo back to the MCU, but also includes an unexpected reference to the 2018 film.
For MCU fans, the fourth Episode of
WandaVision, We Interrupt This Program, has proved to be a big relief as it finally disclosed the answers to many of its unfathomable mysteries and put the wildest of theories (some of them were by us) to rest. But it so doesn t mean that it didn t hide its fair share of surprises and Easter eggs- like the arrival of Randall Park s FBI Agent Jimmy Woo and the hilarious reference to

According to an online fan theory, the threat was hiding in plain sight this week. Jan 30, 2021
After three truly puzzling weeks of sitcom shenanigans laid over a mounting sense of existential dread, the fourth episode of
WandaVision, entitled We Interrupt This Program, fully broke away from its established format for the first time to show viewers what s been going on outside of Westview all this time.
This meant confirming viewers suspicions that Geraldine, a.k.a. Monica Rambeau, was indeed an interloper, albeit an unwitting one, and that the voice on the radio was Jimmy Woo. We also got a fairly prosaic (and slightly underwhelming) explanation for that truly unsettling image of the beekeeper emerging from the sewers. And perhaps most significantly, we discovered that Wanda and Vision s neighbors, friends and coworkers in Westview are in fact the town s real-life inhabitants, who are all now being forced to play different roles in Wanda s fantasy.
I clearly remember the first time I saw
The Prisoner episode, “Living In Harmony.” The classic, world-building intro is gone and the story immediately begins with star Patrick McGoohan, dressed like a cowboy, riding a horse somewhere in the American West. I was intrigued, then increasingly frustrated, as it seemed liked the narrative would never return to what I’d expected. Indeed, all the standard trappings of the series The Village, the spy vs. spy plots were absent until the episode’s shocking climax, which remains one of my favorite moments in the entire series.

WandaVision. These are meant to be read after watching, so they will go deep into
spoiler territory. You have been warned!
Last Time on WandaVision…
Last week’s episode ended with the arrival of twins. It would have been cute were it not for the fearful behavior of Wanda and Vision’s neighbors, Wanda’s temporal manipulation of Vision, and the sudden expulsion of Geraldine. Also don’t forget there’s a stork just walking around this house now. Those things can take an eye out.

But this show has already revealed how we should never accept anything at face value.

Is Vision alive? FBI Agent Jimmy Woo (
Randall Park) scrawls the question on a whiteboard within the S.W.O.R.D. compound outside Westview, New Jersey, asking what we’ve all been wondering for the past three weeks. The answer is not definite, but
