Wandavision Showrunner Says Maria Rambeau S Death Was A Big Decision For Marvel Studios

We’re only five episodes into WandaVision, but the inaugural Disney+ Marvel Cinematic Universe series has already dropped a wallop of new details. A lot of those have concerned the life of Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), who has grown up and gone on to serve as a leader of SWORD in the decades since the events of Captain Marvel. Episode 4 of WandaVision brought a heartbreaking update to Monica’s story, with confirmation that Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch) died of cancer during the five years between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame – something that Monica wasn’t present for because she was part of the half of sentient life that was “blipped” in and out of existence. The reveal of Maria’s death is definitely a harrowing addition to Monica’s story – and according to WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer, it was a decision that wasn’t taken lightly.
