Wandavision was the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first show that streamed directly to Disney Plus. The series kicked off Marvel's Phase Four and was the subject of many a conversation.
The show kept audiences guessing and trying to figure out what was going on, as fans analysed characters and searched for clues in every frame.
Actor Amos Glick's character, Dennis The Mailman was subject to plenty of investigation by fans, with many believing that he wasn't who he appeared to be.
In an exclusive interview with Red's Reviews & Interviews, Glick stated that he "couldn't not hear about [the theories],".
He continued, "I was just inundated with people who are superfans who were making memes, asking questions and accusing me of certain things. I just found out from friends texting me screenshots and memes and links; it was endless!"
When asked about his thoughts on the matter, Glick admitted that he thought "It was really funny... some people really read into the smallest things a little too much."
A very popular fan theory surrounding Amos' character was that he was in cahoots with the villain of the show, Agatha Harkness. The main evidence for this was that Agatha had a pet rabbit, Scratchy. Dennis The Mailman's outfit had the company name "Presto" on it with a logo of a rabbit, therefore alluding to magic and witchcraft, Agatha's speciality.
In response to this theory, the actor responded, "I would've bet you a thousand dollars that the reason the presto logo was the presto logo was because that's the delivery costume [Marvel] found and then they copied it and put it on the van. I could be totally wrong about that, it could be 100% intentional. But it would be really fun to find out from the show creators if they put that in there intentionally to create suspicion, or was it literally a happenstance."
Since his work on Wandavision, Glick has created a hilarious song with an accompanying music video responding to the MCU fans' wild theories. It's titled "Dennis the Mailman: Just the Messenger!" and features Amos delivering an epic message, even going as far as dressing up as Avengers villain Thanos!
