WandaVision
is tackling television in a way only the MCU can. From week-to-week audiences can see Wanda Maximoff further develop this time-jumping sitcom starring Scarlet Witch and Vision.
The Disney+ series takes much inspiration from iconic
comedies of different decades
, including
Bewitched
,
Growing Pains
, and most recently
Malcolm in the Middle
. Each episode mimics the aesthetics of the time period it’s evoking, including a theme song that is unique to every new era of
WandaVision
.

The individual theme songs
are composed by
Frozen 2’s
Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and the show’s score is created by
Ant-Man’s
Christophe Beck. After a few episodes of some nostalgic opening credits sequences, the series’ composers are now revealing that the musical themes actually feature some hidden connections to the MCU.

In a new interview from
Variety
,
WandaVision
composers Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez spoke on how
“unbelievably fun and easy”
it felt to work on the new Marvel Studios series right after finishing
Frozen 2
:
Lopez: “This felt like a walk in the park, writing a number of minute-long songs that had to have a little structure and set a tone. It was unbelievably fun and easy after the mammoth task that was ‘Frozen 2.’”
Anderson-Lopez: “It was like training for the Olympics in the Rockies and then descending to Salt Lake City to just go have a sandwich.”
Composer Christophe Beck added that
“attentive fans”
will be able to find
“musical Easter eggs that refer to other Marvel films.”
Beck ended his statement by saying
“Some of them are pretty subtle. Some are not.”

WHERE COULD THESE REFERENCES BE HIDING?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has no shortage of iconic scores. Though each character has a musical theme that does follow them from film to film, every new entry in the MCU brings a new take on a particular franchise’s compositions.
These unique scores allow other films and shows to reference certain distinct moments in the past, and it’s quite possible Christophe Beck has hidden callbacks to important moments from Wanda’s MCU history within the cheery soundtrack that usually accompanies the show.
Beck has already released a
WandaVision
version of the Avengers theme
, which premiered in a teaser for the series. Other musical moments hidden within the show could reference Danny Elfman’s
Age of Ultron
score when Wanda lost Pietro, Henry Jackman’s
Civil War
score when Wanda caused the destruction at Lagos, or even Alan Silvestri’s
Infinity War
score when Wanda had to destroy Vision’s Mind Stone.

Christophe Beck created an almost two-minute long “Wanda’s Theme” for the show, which plays over every episode’s end credits. With five accompanying opening credits songs composed by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and a week to wait until
WandaVision
’s next chapter, it looks like fans have plenty of time to find all the musical MCU easter eggs sprinkled throughout the new series.
