But given how Marvel Studios is setting up the rest of the Young Avengers, Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), Stature (Kathryn Newton), America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), with the potential for appearances by Patriot, Kid Loki and Hulkling, in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and Secret Invasion respectively, teenage versions of Billy and Tommy will surely show up later.Īgnes being Agatha Harkness is simultaneously WandaVision’s worst-kept secret and one of its greatest assets. Assuming Wanda doesn’t have any motherly responsibilities in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it seems likely Billy and Tommy will disappear in the finale. While the characters in the comics disappeared for almost 15 years, after being revealed as parts of Mephisto’s soul, their reincarnated selves have been Marvel mainstays since 2005. What could be sadder than Wanda once again finding herself alone, her husband and children gone? But if the comics are our guide, Billy (Julian Hilliard) and Tommy (Jett Klyne) have a big future ahead of them as Young Avengers Wiccan and Speed. Teyonah Parris told The Hollywood Reporter that WandaVision would have an “epic and incredibly sad” ending. But if White Vision survives, it not only opens the door for Paul Bettany to explore a different side of the character, and perhaps sets up a scenario in which Vision is able to download Simon Williams’, aka Wonder Man’s, brainwaves as he did in the comics, regaining his humanity and his color. It’s hard to imagine Vision surviving and abandoning his wife, even if she did manipulate him, so I think Wanda’s Vision will meet his end in the finale. The finale will likely serve up a battle of the two Visions, but will either survive? Given that Wanda’s trajectory to becoming the Scarlet Witch is just beginning, and her role in Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness seems to point toward a darker future, I’m betting that Wanda and Vision’s love story will come to an end, for now. But Vision’s real body, the one destroyed by Thanos, has been retrofitted by the SWORD as a weapon, an all-white android Vision. The eighth episode of WandaVision revealed the nature of Vision’s return - Wanda created him entirely through magic. Still, it seems likely that Wanda’s path to becoming the Scarlet Witch, a vision of which she saw through the Mind Stone in Loki’s scepter, will also reveal she’s part of a larger legacy. Wanda’s parentage in the comics is a mess of retcons, but in the MCU there’s no sign yet that Wanda was adopted (hold tight Magneto fans), making it unlikely the mother audiences met in the flashback had any magical powers. 4 (2015) by James Robinson and artist Marguerite Sauvage, Wanda is only the most recent Scarlet Witch, with her mother and grandmother also fulfilling the role. The Scarlet Witch as a role, much like the Sorcerer Supreme, is a rather recent development in Marvel Comics.Īs revealed in Scarlet Witch No. But WandaVision makes it clear that Scarlet Witch is more than just a superhero alias, it’s a title, one that doesn’t belong to just one individual. But what does that mean? Wanda has yet to take the name Scarlet Witch in the MCU, though she inevitably will by the series’ end. And that makes you the Scarlet Witch,” Agatha says at the end of episode eight. What does it mean for Wanda to be the Scarlet Witch? So before WandaVision comes to an end, there’s just enough time for one more deep dive into questions and theories that may be illuminated in the finale, or at least set up to be answered down the line. With only one episode of WandaVision left, the stakes, those of both the personal variety, and those concerning the larger nature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, couldn’t be higher.
