I'll be interviewing Matt Shakman next week (I should clarify BEFORE the finale airs, alas) and would love to include some questions from the MCU wiki if possible!

Who is his favorite WandaVision character?
Was Hydra Soak intended to be an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 reference? Further, was the Hula girl doll in episode 7 also supposed to be a reference to S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Is Agatha's coven related to Morgan le Fay's coven that appeared in Runaways season 3?. Does Agatha know Morgan le Fay?
Can you describe, in one word, how Wanda's character arc will end.
Are the commercial family have names? What're the full names of Agent Monti, Agent Rodriguez and Major Goodner?
Did episode 8 retcon Wanda's parents death? In Age of Ultron Pietro said that they were having dinner but in WandaVision they were watching a sitcom.
If he is able to tell us, what book was in Agathas basement?
If they made another season of WandaVision, would they take inspiration from television genres other than sitcom?
What was the biggest challenge you faced working on this project?
Hmm, how do I put this carefully? Don't want to put it in a way that would require potential spoilers or make Shakman in any way uncomfortable or struggle to answer, want to ask something with a positive and open-ended style, but certainly the most important question to me is one which would nonetheless give reassurance to fans such as myself. OK:

One of the wonderful things about the MCU is the connections that fans can draw between different parts of the wide Marvel universe. Some fans have made theories about connections to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Runaways to do with Hydra Soak, Darcy's dashboard hula girl, and how Agatha's dark magic might connect to elements we've also seen explored in those shows. Some users on our wiki would love to know, without spoiling anything, if you are aware of some of these and if you could potentially see some being true?

It would be brilliant to get even a vague positive response, it would slightly settle some big Darkhold nerves going into the finale.
Regardless, thanks Eric! Love your work on Fandom Entertainment, your knowledge, and your interviews. Keep up the great work.
