The first three episodes of WandaVision are available to watch now on Disney + and they’ve had an exciting cast. A big name for the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the new series is Debra Jo Rupp, who is best known for playing Kitty Forman on That ’70s show. ComicBook.com recently spoke to Rupp about her sitcom days, and she revealed she didn’t mind watching the ’70s episode of WandaVision. We also asked Rupp if she was familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe before joining it, and she explained how she transitioned from knowing nothing to being attached to certain characters to watch. Avengers: Endgame.
“I didn’t know anything,” Rupp said of the MCU. “I thought it was a cartoon, I thought, well I knew comic books were involved, but I’ve never been … science fiction isn’t my thing. It just has to be real, to me. I felt the same way about it. geometry. There’s nothing real about geometry. It’s points in planes that are, I don’t care. So I knew nothing. I knew absolutely nothing. I just knew, you know, my great-nephew said, “Aunt Debbie, if you don’t do this, “so I did it for him. And then I got there and got involved and I’m just amazed at how big the world is. I’m amazed at the fans and what they put apart and what they, you know, I mean I don’t blame them because nothing is what it seems in the Marvel world, but it took me a while to figure that out.
“We had the luxury of a week of rehearsing, and that’s basically how sitcoms are done. I mean, we did everything, it was the way it was done. We did. So we had a week of rehearsal before recording So I learned a lot from Paul [Bettany] and from Lizzie [Olsen]. And then they told me which movies to watch. And then I ended up looking at a whole group that they didn’t even tell me to watch because I got involved. I can be the last, the Endgame thing, because I feel that people I care about are dying. And so I don’t want a role, no, that’s how old I am now. I just want happy things. I don’t want to think about it. I just want happy things. So I can’t watch it. I am very happy to be a part of this world. It makes me very happy. “
We also asked Rupp if it was hard to keep the Marvel spoilers, as her usual projects don’t usually involve that much secrecy.
‘No, because so few people knew I was in it, so nobody asked me. I was like, ‘Hello? ‘And then really honestly, with the secrecy I know what I was doing. I mean, I never had a full script, that is, I know what I was doing. And so I made up a story about that. Yes. So we’ll see. “
