GRAZIA USA cover girl Elizabeth Olsen<\/a> and late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon have spoofed the plotline of WandaVision<\/em> in a funny new skit that journeys through the decades of talk-show history.<\/p>\n

Fans of the Marvel show (now streaming on Disney +) will be very familiar with Olsen\u2019s character, the troubled, reality-bending witch named Wanda Maximoff. The weird and wonderful TV series riffs on the tropes of different American sitcoms and eras \u2013 its parodic elements and cheesy one-liners a huge departure from the action-packed spectacle that is the Avengers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the new clip, Olsen appears as herself as a guest on Fallon\u2019s show \u2013 but, like WandaVision<\/em>, she does so multiple times across multiple eras. In one clip reminiscent of a scene between Wanda and Queen of the Westview cul-de-sac Dottie Jones, a mysterious low voice coming out of Fallon\u2019s microphone begins asking him, \u201cJimmy, who\u2019s doing this to you Jimmy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Wanda, it\u2019s unclear how much Fallon\u2019s character is controlling the footage that makes it live to air, and just as Marvel\u2019s new retro frontier shows a woman in mourning, Fallon\u2019s version shows a talk show host mourning his pre-pandemic life.<\/p>\n

\u201cJimmy you have to stop. I know the present is scary and we all want COVID to be over but you can\u2019t just run from your problems,\u201d Olsen tells Fallon in the skit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re trying to cope but you can\u2019t keep controlling all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a twist as wild as the cliffhangers in WandaVision<\/em>, Kathryn Hahn intercepts the now present-day interview admitting it was she who was controlling the live feed all along. End scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think I got to live out some sort of childhood dream doing [WandaVision<\/em>],\u201d Olsen told GRAZIA USA in February. \u201cThe highlight was really getting to tell a story about these superhero individuals told in different decades of American sitcoms, trying to match the tone of those sitcoms in order to help orate the story. But keep it playful and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
