Warning: SPOILERS for WandaVision episode 4.

WandaVision episode 4 finally confirms when the show is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline. When Marvel Studios announced plans for a show starring Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), fans immediately began to wonder how this could be. Vision died for real in Avengers: Infinity War and wasn't brought back to life by the end of Avengers: Endgame.

It was eventually confirmed that WandaVision takes place after Avengers: Endgame, but just how far after wasn't clear. During the first three episodes of the show, there were no clues or Easter eggs that provided any clarity. With each episode set in a different sitcom decade and barely any mention of real MCU events, it was impossible to find out more. WandaVision was originally intended to be the second MCU Disney+ show and is confirmed to set up Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While both of those facts might lead fans to believe it is set further into the Phase 4 MCU timeline, that is far from the truth.

The focus of WandaVision shifts in episode 4 and follows what is happening in the real world with Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), Jimmy Woo (Randall Park), and Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings). This includes starting the episode with Monica being brought back thanks to Hulk's snap. The episode soon jumps three weeks into the future to show Monica returning to work for SWORD, where she is assigned to investigate Westview. Thanks to this small time jump, WandaVision is now confirmed to take place between Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home in the timeline. This sets WandaVision in 2023.

Once WandaVision makes the time jump, it does begin to get a bit unclear how much time has passed. Monica is sucked into the energy bubble surrounding Westview and SWORD has an entire facility up and running less than 24 hours later. This is where Darcy enters the picture and begins monitoring the WandaVision broadcasts. Viewers don't know if the "episodes" play on a loop or how frequently a new one arrives. Previous WandaVision episodes suggest Scarlet Witch and Vision are at least somewhat aware that the decade jumps aren't natural and signify the passing of a single day instead of ten years.

It still appears WandaVision's events take place roughly three weeks after Avengers: Endgame's conclusion. That time frame is expected to remain, too, barring another time jump. This is fascinating to consider in the larger scheme of the MCU, as whatever happens in WandaVision doesn't appear to have any ramification on Spider-Man: Far From Home. It also signals that whatever happened to Scarlet Witch that resulted in WandaVision happens incredibly fast.
