On Shakman’s resumรฉ, you’ll find plenty of titles which lend themselves to him getting the job for WandaVision but he is quick to credit two episodes of Game of Thrones for getting him the necessary experieece. One of those episodes is specifically one which fans hold in high regards: The Spoils of War. It was the HBO show’s first foray into fiery dragon battles and saw the Lannister army getting burnt out by Daenerys in the show’s seventh season. Until Friday’s Phase Zero episode, take a dive into ComicBook.com’s recent interview with the director taking a look back at the series as a whole.
Friday’s episode of Phase Zero will be hosted Brandon Davis, along with ComicBook.com’s Jamie Jirak and Jim Viscardi. Fans will be featured in the new episode, having submitted questions to ComicBook.com in video form which will be played for WandaVision director Matt Shakman.
