We've known about the Marvel television shows on Disney+ for some time. However, when fans got to see trailers for WandaVision, Loki and Falcon & Winter Solider last month, there was some confusion - especially from fans who haven't read a lot of comic books.

Comic book experts and FTN contributors Matt Moore and Regina Davis are here to provide some context. Also, Scott share his thoughts on the drama and emotions following Luke Skywalker's appearance on The Mandalorian.
