You’ll be able to go into a movie and are available to a TV present and return … It is like a loopy world. Even with the profitable reveals, like WandaVision, they don’t seem to be doing season 2. She jumped into a movie. Possibly she’s going to come back again or not. I do not know. And that is thrilling.”
