A new fan-made poster from BossLogic is teasing a WandaVision spinoff starring Randall Park as Jimmy Woo. Imagining a series called S.W.O.R.D. Chronicles, the image shows Jimmy holding a couple of playing cards with his name brandished on the front. Unfortunately, no such series is currently in development at Marvel Studios, but it seems pretty clear that a lot of people would be stoked to see something like this happen. You can take a look at the artwork below. The BossLogic poster is inspired by a viral Twitter post from actor and filmmaker Stephen Ford. In the original tweet, Ford Pitches "an entire Disney+ show about Jimmy Woo just working weird cases in the MCU," in the spirit of The X-Files.

Based on their chemistry in WandaVision, this suggestion made the idea even better.

And it may sway you to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi in IMAX. "Rey finds her place in our exclusive art for @StarWars #TheLastJedi, coming to IMAX theatres December 15!" RELATED: Star Wars Theory Thinks Ahsoka Disney+ Series Will Fix One Big Last Jedi Plot Hole Much like the other posters for Star Wars: The Last Jedi so far, this poster most uses black, white and red to play with the ideas of the Dark Side and the light.
