There are few Avengers: Doomsday questions extra urgent than whether or not Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch might be making her return. Positive, audiences wish to know why Robert Downey Jr. was the selection for Physician Doom and whether or not which means he’s a Tony Stark variant, and plenty of followers are anxious to study who could be dying within the new film, with specific considerations being raised about Bucky Barnes’ potential loss of life and Loki’s destiny, particularly after Tom Hiddleston’s current feedback. But, Wanda’s potential return continues to really feel like one of many greatest questions that audiences need answered, particularly due to her connection to Physician Doom within the comics and the sense that this might be the right time to carry her again following her brutal (and really controversial) loss of life in Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity.
As we await that reply, although—which can little question not come till Doomsday hits theaters this December—a brand-new rumor about Avengers: Secret Wars has simply prompt that, whereas it won’t be Wanda herself, the upcoming Avengers blockbuster can have an sudden Scarlet Witch connection. Specifically, it’s now rumored that Agatha Harkness will play a job in Secret Wars. Once more, that’s not affirmation of or perhaps a rumor about Wanda herself being within the story, nevertheless it’s additionally a constructive signal for these hoping to see the Scarlet Witch’s return. In spite of everything, Agatha has solely ever been tied to the Wanda trilogy of exhibits, and he or she was final seen with Wanda’s son, Billy Maximoff, on the finish of Agatha All Alongside. In truth, Agatha and Billy had been particularly going to search for Tommy, who, curiously, can also be about to seem in VisionQuest, rounding out the Maximoff household. So, might this rumor truly imply a Wanda return?
Wanda’s Trilogy Probably Isn’t the Finish, However What Does That Imply for Wanda?
There are, technically, any variety of issues that Agatha could possibly be doing in Secret Wars, assuming these rumors are true. Nonetheless, there’s no denying that she feels instantly linked to Wanda as a personality, and that’s not simply because she’s additionally a witch and is at present with Wanda’s son. Quite, Agatha’s whole MCU story so far has been instantly wrapped up in Wanda’s. That would change, positive, however it could be a sudden shift, particularly as a result of she’s not at present anticipated to be in something earlier than Secret Wars. In a dream state of affairs, no less than for a lot of followers, this might imply a fast reveal in the direction of the tip of Doomsday or maybe even a post-credits scene confirming that Wanda continues to be alive after which a follow-up arc in Secret Wars, presumably involving Billy, Tommy, and Agatha on a seek for her.
That’s completely speculative proper now, although. What does really feel extra concrete—once more, within the occasion that this rumor proves true—is that, though there have been myriad conversations about what’s being known as Wanda’s trilogy ending with VisionQuest, that’s feeling much less and fewer more likely to imply that Wanda’s story general is completed, whether or not that’s her precise return or only a continuation of what was launched in WandaVision and what occurred after the actual fact because of each that present and Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity. Even so, it could be comprehensible if this rumor gave followers some hope that Wanda is definitely coming again.
