WandaVision Episode 4: Is SWORD Hiding MCU Fantastic Four Clues?

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The Fantastic Four will finally come to the MCU in the next few years, with a feature film directed by Jon Watts. While we don’t expect the FF to make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut until roughly 2023 or so (although 2024 might be more appropriate), there’s nothing stopping Kevin Feige and company from laying the groundwork for the MCU Fantastic Four with their current projects. And specifically, we think WandaVision episode 4 might be the first real indication of plans for Marvel’s First Family. Yes, WandaVision has enough going on with its own weird…
