WandaVision almost sent Monica Rambeau to therapy

Several characters in WandaVision would have believably benefited from some form of therapy, including Monica Rambeau. Head author Jac Schaeffer recently shared how she originally designed for Monica to have a healer at the S.W.O.R.D. pop-up base just outside of Wanda's hex.

Schaeffer shared details just about the fresh plan during a roundtable with EW's The Awardist. "I don't know if you cognize this or not, Teyonah [Parris], but [your character] had a therapist in the base, the pop fly base," she said. "There were therapy scenes because we, in the elbow room, were very pro-therapy. We saw this show as being really, truly, about mental health. So we were similar, 'Cured, we've got to have a therapist,' and then realized that there's non a lot of time in the pop-fly base for Monica to cost stepping into her Roger Sessions at all."

It would have been fascinating to see how Monica worked through her own grief while trying to help with the situation in Westview. She returned from The Blip to the tragical loss of her mother, Maria Rambeau, to Cancer after being gone for five years after Thanos' snap. In the serial, she seems to return to work with little time to process her return and her mother's death while she was away.

Perhaps there is still a find for Monica to have some therapy scenes in the upcoming Captain Wonder subsequence officially entitled The Marvels. Actress Teyonah Parris will reprise her office as Monica Rambeau in the subsequence, which will likewise feature Kamala Khan/Ms. Wonder, played by newcomer Iman Vellani. WandaVision staff writer Megan McDonnell is writing the script for the sequel with Nia DaCosta directing. The Marvels is slated to hit theaters on November 11, 2022.

WandaVision is available to stream in its entirety only on Disney Plus.
