Back in the good old days before cable, the big three, four or five networks had to worry about HBO. Then came streaming and the worry switched to Netflix and Amazon. Now, the networks have to worry about a new Captain America, a space bounty hunter and the Scarlett Witch. In other words, Marvel is coming for you, networks. Congrats, WandaVision.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe had quite the day today at the Emmy Nominations. The studio landed its 23 Emmy nominations on Tuesday for its Disney+ series WandaVision and five for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, including an acting nod for Don Cheadle.
Cheadle only appears in TFATW for 2 minutes.
WandaVision was the second-most nominated show with 23 nominations, including ones for stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, who reprised their MCU roles as Wanda Maximoff and Vision, as well as the show itself for outstanding limited series. Kathryn Hahn was also nominated in the supporting actress category for her role as Agatha Harkness.
And Hahn’s chart-topping hit Agatha All Along scored a nomination for outstanding music and lyrics.
