But law student Illy saw the funny side of him polishing off two burgers, chips and a chicken wrap. She said: “I was left open-mouthed.

A dog was added to the Maximoff/Vision family in WandaVision's fifth episode . And while TV's Sparky came out of nowhere, he actually has a home - back in comic books.
