WandaVision s narrative it also inspired the VFX crew. In the first episode of
Marvel Studios Assembled (streaming on Disney+ today), the show s VFX supervisor, Tara DeMarco, pulls back the curtain on the powerful Hex that keeps Westview under the control of Wanda Maximoff (played by Elizabeth Olsen).
“We knew that the Hex had to be a boundary that kept the townspeople in, but was mysterious to the people on the outside, DeMarco explains in the 58-minute making-of documentary about the MCU s first-ever television series, which also happens to be the launch of Phase 4. We decided early [on] that it would be more mysterious if it was an invisible Hex. And so, it helped build tension and we got to make it look quite cool.
