Calling all Marvel lovers!
Marvels WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier debut and ended this winter and spring, kicking off Marvels “phase four” in it’s cinematic universe. But Marvel isn’t done releasing content in 2021 yet. Marvel is set to release new movies soon in it’s cinematic universe, along with many series that will premier in the next couple of years.
Emma Barnes is an upcoming Junior at CHS. She is a huge Marvel fan, along with Star Wars, Greys Anatomy, Harry Potter, and Anime. When she was asked how much she liked WandaVision on a scale of 1-5, she answered:
I would give Marvel’s WandaVision 4/5 stars because in the beginning of the series it starts out pretty slow but it does a lot of world building then after 2 or 3 episodes it speeds up and gets to the conflict of the series.
