They just happened to cast someone fans recognized as another version of that character in order to make us believe they were possibly introducing the multiverse or the X-Men into the MCU. If I take this reveal at face value, it means Marvel Studios could have cast any person as Pietro. It was one of the running theories I had for who Peters' Pietro was, but this was the one I really hoped wouldn't be true, especially because the audio description for the episode referred to him as the X-Men version of the character. This was the biggest let down for me (and I'm sure one that's going to bum out some fans). I'm curious to see how potentially bringing her sons back will affect her grieving process.ĭoes Marvel expect us to believe fake Pietro is some guy named Ralph Bohner?Īcuna: The finale revealed that Evan Peters' version of Pietro was just Westview resident Ralph Bohner and presumably not Fox's Quicksilver X-Men character, who Peters also played. Wanda venturing off to a secluded cabin so she could peruse the Darkhold for, what I assume is a way to bring back the twins, seems like dangerous territory. "WandaVision" was a beautiful exploration of her grief, loss, and trauma. Fans said the actors, who play the twins, posted now-deleted photos with the UK marked as the location a couple of months ago around the time that "Doctor Strange 2" began filming there.Īnd while I love the idea of Marvel setting up the Young Avengers with newcomers like the Twins and Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop, I worry for Wanda. I had a feeling that we'd see more of Tommy and Billy after spotting a Reddit thread. Singh: I like how, in true Marvel fashion, the end-credits scene nicely set up the future of the MCU. I wouldn't be surprised if this is where the "Doctor Strange" sequel kicks off.
It seems like she may be obsessed with trying to bring her sons back. But, clearly, that plan seemed to go sideways. Agatha mentioned there was an entire chapter in the Darkhold about the "Scarlet Witch" and she was probably curious and wanted to learn more about controlling her powers. Wanda, we're going to need you to put down the Darkhold book.Īcuna: Ugh. As a fan, perhaps I should know to take things with a grain of salt because Marvel actors have lied before. I guess from a PR standpoint, the stars did a great job of building up a big cameo. Even Elizabeth Olsen told TVLine that she was "really excited" about a big appearance.
But he said it during several interviews, which only built up the anticipation. If the actor hyped up this major guest-star in one interview, maybe I wouldn't be as disappointed. I can't believe I waited this long to see Bettany face off against Bettany. Singh: Why did Paul Bettany troll us so hard about a big cameo that was never going to happen? Remember when I thought there was a chance Al Pacino could be Mephisto since he already played a version of the devil in 1997's "The Devil's Advocate"? Bettany single-handedly made Magneto trend because so many people (including me) started going down a rabbit hole to see what actors Bettany had never worked with in his career. Honestly, I want to be mad, but this was the greatest troll. himself as two Visions went head to head. That was the safe, end-credits cameo many fans were expecting. Bettany teased that he worked with "an actor that I've longed to work with all my life" and described their scenes together as "amazing," saying that the chemistry between them was "extraordinary."Īt the least, I thought we were going to get Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. Acuna: For those of you who may not know, Paul Bettany said a pretty big reveal near the show's end hadn't leaked.
