Avengers 4: Casting Call Hints At Scarlet Witch & The Vision Spoiler
Is a happy ending possible after all?
It looks like Vision and Scarlet Witch MIGHT just get a happy ending after all, despite everything.
It has looked for a while now like Vision will be killed off during the culmination of the Infinity Saga as Thanos needs the Infinity Stone that sits in the middle of his forehead. Having that removed might not be good for his health.
But a new casting call (revealed via Auditions Free) hints that he and Scarlet Witch may actually end up having kids - twins to be precise - just as they did in the comics. If Avengers 4 follows the same thread as the comics, those twins would be called Wiccan and Speed, who are superpowered and who somehow managed to be born despite the logistical confusion of a robot Jesus having sex with a human witch.
Anyway, the call seems to suggest that the Russos are looking to cast a pair of two-year-old twins for Avengers 4, which definitely seems to point coincidentally to those characters:
There are two schools of thought here: either this points to a jump to a happy ending beyond the resolution of Thanos' attacks, suggesting everything is alright (though there's no guarantee Vision would be alive, actually). OR it could follow what happened in the comics.
The twins were revealed to be a figment of Scarlet Witch’s imagination (initially at least), brought into being because of her desperation to have children. And given the way her arc seems to be headed in the MCU, the adoption of that story would actually work - particularly if it's written in as part of her House Of M style breakdown.
In that arc, Wanda constructs a new reality to protect herself from the Avengers (who realise she's unstable and come up with a plan to deal with her), and there's lots of selling points to the idea of Wanda having a breakdown when Vision is killed and temporarily constructing a new reality in which she (and everyone else) got their hearts' desires. That would also fit with the rumours that there's at least one scene in which Vision appears human, and would be the right way to advance her arc.
She doesn't necessarily need to become a villain, but having that tragic construction - of the life she craves - would be a great way to pull on the heart strings when she loses yet another loved one. Even if that does sound a little cruel.
