WandaVision will reach its conclusion on Friday, bringing an end to one of the year’s best shows. The stars of the Disney+ series will be building the hype all week on late night TV.

Marvel was taking a pretty big swing with WandaVision by not only putting the focus on secondary characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe but also in its format satirizing sitcom tropes. The result was another smash hit for Marvel and Disney as critics and audiences have praised WandaVision for its creativity, storytelling, and performances.

The nine-episode miniseries will conclude on March 5. Now that fans have an idea of what’s going on in Westview (kind of), it’s time to see how things end for Wanda, Vision, Agatha, Monica, and the other characters. Just as important will be how WandaVision sets up the rest of the MCU’s phase four.

Don’t expect too many answers or any spoilers this week when the cast of WandaVision takes over late night TV. However, it will give fans more opportunities to see the stars of the show in the spotlight and hear them reflect on WandaVision‘s incredible run. Keep reading for a full breakdown of this week’s late night TV schedule.

WandaVision stars on late night TV: Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen has been out promoting WandaVision from the start. She’s made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Night with Seth Meyers over the past month.

On Wednesday, March 3 you can see Olsen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She won’t give anything away about WandaVision but she could provide a hint about where Wanda is headed next. We do know she’s slated to appear in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness coming in March 2022.

WandaVision stars on late night TV: Paul Bettany

We know where Wanda will be, but what about Vision? There will be two chances to catch Paul Bettany on late night TV this week.

First, he’ll be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, March 3. Bettany has earned a tone of praise for his work in the series, especially for his comedic acting. There is no one better to talk sci-fi and comedy than Stephen Colbert so it should be an entertaining interview.

Then, Bettany will check in with Conan on Thursday, March 4. Conan O’Brien knows firsthand how dedicated comic book and superhero fans can be. He may want to talk to Bettany about WandaVision‘s reception among Marvel Fans before moving on to the various sitcom roles Bettany inhabited during the show.

WandaVision stars on late night TV: Kathryn Hahn

Kathryn Hahn may be new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe but she has made a big impact already. What started off as a comic relief role has evolved into something much different for Hahn as Agnes/Agatha.

She’ll talk about that character turn and more on Late Night with Seth Meyers. You can see her on the NBC late night show on Tuesday, March 2. Expect Seth Meyers to ask Hahn about joining WandaVision in the first place and how her comedy background helped her move seamlessly through decades of sitcom parodies.

WandaVision stars on late night TV: Randall Park

Randall Park’s return to the MCU was a welcomed surprise among fans. After his scene-stealing role in Ant-Man and the Wasp, Park returned as FBI Agent Jimmy Woo in WandaVision.

He’ll return to Conan on Tuesday, March 2. Park and Conan O’Brien have had some memorable conversations in the past and should add another one on Tuesday. Park’s comedy background makes him the perfect WandaVision cast member for O’Brien to interview.

Fans probably notice that two names are absent on this list: Teyonah Parris and Kat Dennings. The actresses, who play Monica Rambeau and Dr. Darcy Lewis respectively, aren’t scheduled to appear on late night TV this week.

However, they have been out promoting the show prior to this week. In case you missed it, you can see Parris dodge Jimmy Kimmel’s questions about the Fantastic Four and hear Dennings reveal that she grew up in a haunted house.
