Kat Dennings, aka WandaVision’s Darcy Lewis, loves her new official MCU Twitter emoji. WandaVision is Disney+’s first Marvel television series, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany reprising their roles as Avengers Wanda Maximoff and Vision, respectively. While many new characters have been introduced, the show also features some other familiar faces from the MCU, like Randall Park, who first appeared as Agent Woo in Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Dennings, whose character originated in the first Thor film.
Twitter emojis to pair with hashtags have become a staple of any big pop culture moment. Big studios like Marvel and Lucasfilm use them to promote new releases. Artist Truck Torrance, aka @100soft, works with both of those companies to translate their characters into emojis in his "kawaii" style. With the release of episode 4 of WandaVision, which explored characters outside the creepy town of Westview, Torrance added three new emojis to the MCU collection: Jimmy Woo, Monica Rambeau, and Darcy Lewis.
Darcy actress Dennings appeared very pleased by her new, adorable Twitter emoji (above). She tweeted: "I HAVE A #DarcyLewis EMOJI?! Goodbye I have passed away." Going straight to the source, she also shared with the artist how much she loved it (adding a crying emoji for emphasis). Torrance replied with some more news -- Darcy Lewis has a WandaVision Instagram sticker as well. Dennings responded with an enthusiastic, "Aaahhhhh!!!"
Despite the fact that Darcy Lewis existed in the MCU long before Wanda or Vision, the latter couple has received the emoji treatment before, while Darcy’s emoji is brand new to WandaVision. Of course, as Avengers, Wanda and Vision are bigger characters. However, it also has to do with the fact that Darcy’s major appearances were in 2011 and 2013 before Twitter emoji, also known as Hashflags, was a common marketing practice. Though hashflags debuted for the 2010 World Cup, it didn’t become a popular branding strategy until around 2015.
WandaVision fans have been trained to keep a close eye for easter eggs and any hints that might unravel the show’s many mysteries. With that in mind, it might make sense to study the WandaVision character emojis for clues, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot to be discovered from Darcy’s hashflag or the other supporting characters. It wouldn’t be totally out of the question, though: the upcoming Black Widow movie emojis may have revealed a major spoiler about Rachel Weisz’s character.) Regardless, the Darcy emoji is a very cute companion to WandaVision and an excellent addition to the Marvel Cinematic Emoji-verse.
