I was only looking for if someone wrote an article about some things she talks there, and found another interview:

It’s fun that she can promote two shows at once now

I love how whenever she's shown in a swimsuit it's basically just her classic look minus the leggings and gloves .

Finally a Pop for the comics version of Wanda will be released in December.

Short hair Wanda never feels like Wanda to me...

I can understand that, though that said, I think she still manages to look great with short hair:

I can't find the quote but I recall John Byrne said that with the "Darker Than Scarlet" arc, Tom DeFalco was mad that he cut Wanda's hair without authorization. Sure enough, once Byrne quit the book the new creative team had Wanda's hair grow back to its old length almost instantly.

Writers can do anything they want to Wanda but there are just some things you can't mess around with.

The next version of Short Hair Wanda didn't last beyond her mini (Force Works used the same costume but grew her hair back) but at least it lives on in what remains the worst TV/film portrayal of Wanda to date, the Iron Man cartoon.

Who would've thought he'd need authorization for that kind of thing ?

Anyway, to keep the conversation going in the absence of news (I would love to get some news out of NYCC but I realistically doubt we'll get anything before mid-2020), is it surprising that Wanda has never been killed off for any length of time? Sure, there was that thing in Uncanny Avengers, but that doesn't really count because it was reversed in the very next arc. I mean deaths that actually last for more than one storyline.

I guess it's because she's been in comics so inconsistently since the 2000s, when the Big Two really started the modern cycle of killing someone off and bringing someone else back in seemingly every event. Characters like Wanda, Clint, Jan, Natasha etc. aren't obscure enough to just be characters who are casually killed off to show what a badass the villain is (another modern comics cliché). So they have to get some panel time before they get killed off.

What happened with her in Avengers Disassembled and House of M have the an effect where we would go years without her though.

Be the very plot device to shake up the status quo of X/Avengers franchise, and got years of her stories ignored for that.

That Kevin Feige came up with the concept and story of WandaVision is amazing.

I wish they'd clone Kevin Feige somehow so he could also run Marvel Comics.

Yeah, it's such a stretch to be like, hey be happy she got thrown away for 7 years and the whole precedent for the events ignored everything true about the character. She was at least involved, lol!
