“It’s a love story, it’s a story of loss,” added the showrunner, “and I think that resonates even more in this crazy pandemic that we’re all trying to survive right now.
“I think we can all understand where Wanda’s coming from, so it helps it to resonate a little bit more.
Shakman also praised the show’s star Elizabeth Olsen, who “very much understood that Wanda has experienced more loss than anybody else in the Marvel universe.”
“She’s lost her parents, she’s lost her brother, she’s lost the love of her life by now, and she’s right on the edge.”
