I think superhero registration was implied, starting with Civil War and then further in Wandavision. I don’t recall a specific explanation of the precise laws, but it seems to have emerged as the status quo that the US government has become very heavy-handed in their supervision of super powered individuals.
I’ve already watched the next one, and in the first scene of the next episode, they basically declare this, but it was my understanding going in, too.
You’re definitely right that the Sokovia Accords and Civil War address this. I was thinking more as we’re on the cusp of Doomsday/Secret Wars and introducing mutants if we might get Superhero/Mutant Registration Act as a major storyline.
Also I won’t spoil anything but having now seen the show completely, they discuss this concept a bit more in the future.
