Developed by Jac Schaeffer, Disney+'s first Marvel Cinematic Universe series picks up after the events of Avengers: Endgame and centers on the titular heroes as they live an idyllic suburban life in a sitcom-inspired world. But as the world begins crumbling around them, secrets are revealed and Wanda and Vision must get to the heart of the mystery of their situation and fight for their family. The story acts as a precursor to the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as well as Spider-Man: No Way Home.

In an interview with Rolling Stone discussing the history of WandaVision's journey from its conception to screen, Feige opened up about the thought process on the title of the Disney+ series. Recalling the difficulties coming up with a name that would feature both characters without sounding too boring or similar to another Disney+ series, Feige told of the moment he came across Lee's Oscar-winning film and how it helped shape the title of his series. Read what Feige said below:

"I didn’t want to call the show Wanda and Vision or The Scarlet Witch and Vision. I was at the AFI [American Film Institute] luncheon in 2018 and I looking at the board where it listed the top 10 films and seeing BlacKkKlansman. I thinking, 'How cool is that? They just mushed those two words together and the audience just accepts that as a title.' So I thank Spike Lee for making BlacKkKlansman. I know that’s the weirdest connection ever, but that’s how it came about."

When it comes to sources of inspiration, Feige and Marvel Studios could certainly do a lot weirder and a lot worse than Lee's Oscar-winning hit. Given the franchise is rooted in a history of comic books with bizarrely-named heroes and villains and costumes, the decision to simply put two names together for a title seems pretty fair game. Plus, if to look at the names originally being thrown around for the Disney+ hit, the final title is definitely a more unique choice than what was proposed.

Nearly three months since its conclusion, WandaVision continues to prove to be the talk of the town amongst critics and audiences, especially as time draws near for the Primetime Emmy Awards, and all are hoping to see superhero dramas get their dues at the ceremony. Not to mention, with production underway on the Doctor Strange sequel, theories will continue to ensue amongst fans on just what the series' ending will entail for the film. For those more invested in the film awards season, however, the lack of nominations for Lee and his cast with his BlacKkKlansman follow-up, Da 5 Bloods, should still sting a bit.
