Frozen
songwriters
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez
were hired to create original theme songs for
WandaVision
. Fans have already heard the first three original themes paying tribute to the 50s, 60s, and 70s with the latest episode. Unfortunately, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany were
originally planned to sing at least one of them
, but it never happened due to time constraints.
The cast and crew have never been subtle about the
various shows that have influenced
WandaVision,
and Elizabeth Olsen has
said that it will even include
a very
“meta”
Easter egg to
Full House
. One staple of classic sitcoms has been guest stars, which
WandaVision
hasn’t done yet, but a recent interview points to this trope finally coming into play in an upcoming episode.

Speaking with
Entertainment Weekly
, songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez discussed her work on the many theme songs in
WandaVision
and that due to the pandemic, she
“couldn’t do a lot of recording live”
with Robert Lopez.
Anderson-Lopez mentioned both of them sung
“the solos with a wonderful group of backup singers,”
which should be
“fun”
for audiences to recognize.
The most important bit of information from this interview is that
WandaVision
will soon have
“a guest star on a decade that really brought a lot of authenticity.”

“The fun thing is that our voices are on a lot of it. Because of the pandemic, we couldn’t do a lot of recording live. It’s mostly us singing the solos with a wonderful group of backup singers, so that’s a fun thing to look for. I can’t spoil it, but there is a guest star on a decade that really brought a lot of authenticity.”
WHAT THIS MEANS
Fans already know that this special guest
won’t be either Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
, but it is still described as bringing
“authenticity”
to the decade. All that remains in terms of
WandaVision
depicting eras of sitcoms is the 80s, 90s, and 00s. This special guest star is likely someone who originally starred in a sitcom from the 80s or 90s like
Full House
or
Family Matters
.
One likely suspect could be actor Jaleel White who played Steve Urkel in
Family Matters
. White actually
acted as a moderator
for the
WandaVision
press conference, so his inclusion in such an event could have been a hint at things to come. It will be interesting if Wanda herself will have any special interaction with this special guest star or if it will only be a small cameo and tribute to that decade of sitcoms.
