The devil is in the details: Will WandaVision help the X-Men debut in the MCU?

About eight months ago it became known that the cast of the series “Wanda Vision” (WandaVision) added the actor Evan Peters. However, his role in the project was not disclosed.

Peters is known to many for his role as a superfast mutant Pietro Maximoffa (Mercury) from the franchise “X-Men“(X-Men). But in the MCU, the character was already present: in the movie “Avengers: Age of Ultron“Mercury has played Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

The reason for this division was related to the peculiarities of the contract between Marvel and studio 20th Century Studios… The latter once bought the rights to mutants, among whom were children Magneto – Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. The problem was that Wanda (Scarlet Witch) was also included in Avengers

As a result, an agreement was reached, according to which Marvel Studios could use two characters without mentioning mutants. IN cinematic universe Mercury and Scarlet Witch are the result of the organization’s experiments “HYDRA“with the Scepter Loki

Last year Fox Film Division became part of Disney… This also applied to the rights to X-Men… As a result, there have been a lot of rumors about how exactly mutants will appear in the MCU. One of the most likely scenarios was TV series on Disney +

According to the sources of the portal Fandomwire, mutants will appear in the next episodes of the WandaVision series, which started last week. And the first will be exactly Mercury performed by Evan Peters, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson does not plan to return to the role.

Exactly how its appearance will be arranged is not reported, but it is already known that the series will launch a chain of events in the Marvel multiverse, which will be developed in the films. “Spiderman 3“and”Doctor Strange and the multiverse of madness“.

Prior to that, the FandomWire portal told about plans Lucasfilm to release a series about Luke Skywalker… A little later, several other insiders confirmed that the studio is indeed studying the possibility of producing a similar project.

Information FandomWire is indirectly confirmed by the statement of the actor Rodri Martinwhich dubs Evan Peters in Spanish. The artist expressed his joy in connection with the fact that he had the honor to voice Mercury again.

However, there are also alternative opinions about Peters’ role in the project. One of the first to report on the participation of the actor Charles Murphy from the portal Murphy’s multiverse… His sources claimed that Peters would “portray” the deceased Pietro Maximoff, while his real role would be completely different.

Evan Peters became famous for the show “American Horror Story“, in which he played several roles, including the villains. And it is the villain that the actor should play in the series” WandaVision “.

Blogger Grace Randolph expressed in due time more specifically. Her source claimed that the actor would play demon Mephistothat left a noticeable mark in comics Marvel… The problem is that in recent months the girl has established herself as an unreliable source.

At the end of 2023, Randolph provoked a scandal by claiming that the leading actor Pedro Pascal allegedly dropped out of the cast of the series “Mandalorian“(The mandalorian), and in the third season the main character will be Boba Fett… In reality, the legendary mercenary got a solo spin-off behind the heads, and other insiders said that the statements about the conflict between Pascal and showrunner John Favreau were greatly exaggerated.

However, other journalists and bloggers also spoke about the appearance of Mephisto. For example, chief editor Geekosity Mikey Sutton, whose insiders have been confirmed by literally a continuous stream over the past few months. One of the last was news aboutwhat a movie “Deadpool 3“will receive an R rating.

Sutton recently revealed that the MCU will be launching a special line of films and series aimed at an older audience. Within the “universe of horror” will supposedly be presented Blade (the film is officially announced) Ghost rider, Satan, Doctor Voodoo, Midnight Sons and many others.

Attention! Further spoilers for the WandaVision series are possible!

And in a new insider, the journalist said that the series “WandaVision” will be the starting point. This is already happening, for there are hints of Mephisto in the first two episodes.

According to the synopsis, Wanda creates her own pocket world in which she happily lives with Vizhenomwho actually died in a fight with Thanos… The surrounding reality is stylized as American sitcoms, but gradually it begins to collapse.

In comics (mini-series Vision and the scarlet witch) Wanda used parts of Mephisto’s soul to breathe life into her two twin children. In the second series, the heroine Elizabeth Olsen suddenly becomes pregnant, and the surrounding reality changes and takes on colors. We already know from the trailers that the main characters will have twins.

Two more Easter eggs are hinted at Mephisto. The first two episodes are stylized like a black and white TV series, and foreign objects are marked with color. In the first episode, you can see an advertisement for a toaster with an indicator highlighted in red. The second hint is found in the second episode. According to the plot, at a meeting of housewives, one of them says about “The devil in the details“.

Sutton’s sources claim that Mephisto will also appear in Spider-Man 3 (in the comics, the demon canceled the deanonymization Peter Parker) and sequel “Doctor Strange“(in the comics, the demon was at enmity not only with the magician, but also with the latter’s main opponent – Dormammu).

Are all the above rumors true? Viewers can find out very soon. New episodes of the “WandaVision” series aired exclusively on Disney + on Fridays.
