It seems Marvel fans have a lot to be excited about! Recent reports suggest that Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, could be teaming up with none other than Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers Doomsday movie. Here’s everything we know so far.
Key Details at a Glance
- Robert Downey Jr. Returns: Fans are thrilled as Robert Downey Jr., famously known as Iron Man, is reportedly coming back to the MCU – but this time as Doctor Doom!
- Scarlet Witch’s Return: Rumors hint that Scarlet Witch, last seen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, might have a significant role in Avengers Doomsday.
- A New Alliance?: Could this mean a strategic, or even romantic, alliance between Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom?
Wanda’s Journey: Hero or Villain?
In Multiverse of Madness, Scarlet Witch leaned heavily toward villainy, sparking mixed reactions from fans. Her complex backstory, especially losing her children, Billy and Tommy, drove her to desperation, aligning her with darker forces like the Darkhold. In Avengers Doomsday, this could mean Wanda might struggle between her desire for redemption and her complex feelings towards Doom’s mission.
The Children’s Crusade Connection
The storyline from Marvel comics, Children's Crusade, may be the key influence in this plot. In the comics, Wanda’s children are reincarnated, leading to her reunion with them. There’s also a twist – she forms an alliance with Doctor Doom, who claims he wants to “save the Multiverse.” This mission could appeal to Wanda, who might see this as a way to right her past wrongs.
Doctor Doom and Wanda’s Potential Romance?
One of the most intriguing rumors is a potential romance between Wanda and Doom. This storyline from the comics presents a complex and, at times, tragic relationship. It gets even more intense with Robert Downey Jr. portraying Doom. Given Wanda’s past familiarity with Tony Stark, this could add a unique layer to their dynamic.
In the comics, Doom genuinely loves Wanda, but his obsession with power leads him astray. If Marvel goes down this route, we may see an intense storyline of love, betrayal, and moral conflict.
The Role of Jack Schaefer
Marvel fans are eager to see how the mystical elements are handled, and that’s where Jack Schaefer comes in. Known for WandaVision and Agatha: House of Harkness, Schaefer has been crucial in developing the magic side of the MCU. Her expertise may guide Scarlet Witch’s storyline, allowing for an in-depth exploration of her powers and complex emotions.
Why This Storyline Matters for the MCU
- Redefining Doctor Doom: Bringing in Robert Downey Jr. as Doom could give this iconic villain a unique twist, drawing old fans of Iron Man and adding depth to Doom’s character.
- Scarlet Witch’s Redemption Arc: Wanda’s possible return hints at unfinished business. Fans may finally see her path to redemption or further down a path of power and darkness.
- Comic Book Fans Rejoice: Marvel’s potential adaptation of Children’s Crusade promises exciting scenes for comic book fans and deepens the multiverse storyline.
What Fans Are Saying
Fans are torn on whether Scarlet Witch should return as a hero or villain. While her darker turn in Multiverse of Madness was controversial, teaming up with Doctor Doom could allow her to evolve, paving the way for a new role in the MCU.
What’s Next?
With Avengers Doomsday still under wraps, fans are left wondering: will Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom’s alliance be purely strategic, or will it spark something more? We’ll have to wait and see!
