A new episode of Marvel’s WandaVision airs today which happens to introduce a new character to the MCU and is a big surprise.
Warning: Spoilers follow.
More spoilers: Don’t read this if you don’t want possible massive spoilers
Note: I haven’t read any of the WandaVision spoilers, so what follows is based on rumors I have heard, so again, if you don’t want to possibly be spoiled, don’t continue.
A couple of things I found interesting about today’s episode is that it appears some of the people are being mind-controlled and some of the people are playing along, for some reason.
We know Vision’s co-worker was mind-controlled, but Agnes obviously wasn’t and was “aware,” and likewise so was Monica Rambeau, and Wanda and Vision’s neighbor, Herb.
So why are some of the people mind-controlled while others are not?
Could Agnes and Herb be bad guys?
Maybe something else is behind Westview and Wanda’s alternate reality?
This brings us to Evan Peters’ Quicksilver.
Wanda seemed to think she wasn’t responsible for the doorbell ringing and thus bringing Evan Peters into Westview, but that could either be because she is confused (crazy) — or something else.
A rumor actually offers Evan Peters is really Mephisto.
Of course, the other possibility is that Evan Peters is really the Quicksilver from the Fox X-Men movies and made his way through the Multiverse to the MCU via Wanda.
Quicksilver is a speedster, so maybe that plays into things.
Another possibility could be that Evan Peters is really Nightmare, as Wanda’s reality does seem like a nightmare, and Nightmare has been rumored as a villain for Doctor Strange 2.
Any theories?
I also have to say the WandaVision series is really good, so hats off to Kevin Feige for pulling this off. So far it’s really well done and the cast is great. Can’t wait for the next episode.
