Talk:WandaVision/FAQ

• Q: Why is the cast section formatted as it is? Specifically, why are there no subsections (Main, Recurring, and Guest) like other TV series articles, and why are Debra Jo Rupp and Fred Melamed in the main bulleted list?
  • A: Marvel Studios is approaching their Disney+ series as if they are feature films (see List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series § Series approach and this source) in several ways, including how they credit actors for each episode. Unlike conventional television series, WandaVision does not differentiate series regulars, guest stars, and co-stars. Instead, the series has one cast list for each episode during the credits as well as a main on-end title sequence that gives billing to the series' main actors. To represent this, the WandaVision cast section uses a hybrid approach of WP:TVCAST and WP:FILMCAST. Any actor who appears in the main on-end billing is listed in the section's main bulleted list as if they were part of a film poster's "billing block" per FILMCAST, and they are listed in order of first onscreen credit per TVCAST. Additional actors are noted in prose below the main bulleted list as is done in the MCU film articles, with recurring and guest actors included per TVCAST. This was determined by tracking appearances in the series (see Talk:WandaVision/Archive 3 § Cast breakdown), with four or more appearances considered a recurring role and two or more considered a guest role.
