  Social media reactions to first viewings of the upcoming Disney+ show "WandaVision" are starting to trickle in ahead of the series premiere on January 15.
  So far, there's plenty of euphoric praise for the Marvel Cinematic Universe spinoff, which centers on Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) as they try to live out an idealized suburban life in the small town of Westview, where the residents don't know about their powers. But the border between reality and illusion stars to blur for the pair in this series created by Jac Schaeffer, based on the Scarlet Witch character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
  The series is directed by Matt Shakman. Schaeffer serves as the head writer and executive produces alongside Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige. The series also stars Kathryn Hahn in a zany role, plus Teyonah Parris, Kat Dennings, and Randall Park.
  Both shows are among a growing arsenal of Marvel series that will premiere on Disney+; others include "Hawkeye" and "Loki," which will be centered on Jeremy Renner and Tom Hiddleston's characters from their respective Marvel films. Additional Marvel Cinematic Universe shows headed to Disney+ include "Ms. Marvel," "Moon Knight," "She-Hulk," and "What If…?" with more sure to come.
