WHAT THIS MEANS
At this moment in the trailer, it appears that this will take place during the 70s era of
WandaVision.
Bettany already confirmed that this series will take place over at least six different decades.

This Easter Egg is particularly head-scratching because if this is supposed to be sometime in the 1970s,
Oz the Great and Powerful
wasn’t released until 2013. Here are a few explanations for this:
Wanda’s Imagination
It remains to be seen how exactly the plot of Wanda and Vision being married over the course of many decades will be explained. One popular theory is that Wanda will be shaping her own new reality, similar to the
House of M
comic book. The key difference being that in the MCU, she will be bringing Vision back to life instead of her twin boys.

Oz the Great and Powerful
could be appearing on the theater sign because Wanda liked the movie and it is being used as a form of comfort.
Keeping Wanda Comfortable
The other possibility is that exterior powers, like the people we’ve seen in hazmat suits outside of what looks like a force-field of some kind, are controlling this altered reality. In this case, they may have been studying Wanda and know that her favorite movie of 2013 was
Oz the Great and Powerful,
so they included it for her to feel more at home.

Dr. Strange Connection
Sam Raimi is directing the upcoming
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
film that will also star Olsen as Wanda Maximoff. Raimi also directed the teased
Oz the Great and Powerful,
so perhaps this is just an inconsequential teaser for her appearance in the
Dr. Strange
sequel.
