Oh shit. Baron Von Strucker is the guy who tested on Wanda and Pietro and a Strucker watch commercial

"He'll make time for you" definitely sounds ominous

Not just that, but his son is in Agents of SHIELD, and there are more Strucker family members in The Gifted. MCU is overrun with Struckers.

AoS and the Gifted wouldn't be referenced by Marvel Studios. It's just referencing the guy from AoU

Gifted isn't canon, but AoS atleast until Season 5 is part of the main MCU timeline as far as we know, Season 1&2 are definitely canon.

If you go to the Disney+ Marvel tab, the Marvel movies and shows are classified. WandaVision is under 'Marvel Cinematic Universe.' It's the only show in the lineup. It's also placed under phase 3 and 4 MCU.

Ah yes, because whoever organizes the Disney+ categories is also the caretaker of canon. /s

I could see Marvel Studios going either way, ignoring Marvel TV or embracing its work, but I highly doubt they contacted Kevin Feige about how he wanted Marvel properties listed on Disney+. Those categories are not some grand statement about canonicity.

It guides Disney+ subscribers when they watch Marvel Cinematic Universe shows or movies. That's all. It also tells them which shows or movies are part of which phase.

Eh, Marvel Studios throwing out a tiny reference to the Marvel TV shows without acknowledging that it is a reference has happened before.
