10 Marvel Cinematic Universe Theories Better Than What's In The Movies
These theories about the past and future of the MCU are crazy, but undeniably awesome.
Since 2008, Marvel Studios has been knocking it out of the park with hit after hit, and the future is now looking brighter than ever. However, with a shared world like this, fans are constantly coming up with ideas about what comes next, and that leads to a lot of compelling, and often awesome, fan theories.
Some are ridiculous, while a small handful have ultimately proven to be correct. It says a lot about the MCU's fanbase that they're passionate enough to come up with such creative and unique ideas, and even more surprising is Marvel often trying to do one better... only to fail when it comes to tying everything together.
Now, we've rounded up a collection of theories about the past of the MCU, which would have been so much better than what ended up on screen in their place. A few even pertain to the future and, well, there's a very good chance that they could prove to be correct (particularly when it comes to characters like the X-Men and Fantastic Four).
These make for fascinating reading, and regardless of what happens officially, at least the fans can be satisfied one way or the other.
10. Ultron Lives
Ultron's destruction at the hands of The Vision took place off-screen in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and theories have persisted ever since that the villainous android may have found a way to escape his fate. However, after he was brought back for a recent VR experience, it's clear Marvel Studios has no plans for the iconic Avengers foe moving forward.
Well, one theory suggests that The Vision we're reunited with in WandaVision will, in fact, be a resurrected Ultron.
It's clear that Tony Stark's creation felt something for the Scarlet Witch, and him tricking her into thinking he's the man/android she loves would be the perfect last straw to push Wanda over the edge into madness.
No one can quite figure out why S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department) is part of WandaVision when they deal with threats from outer space. However, Ultron once tried to conquer the universe, and this theory suggests that they've been tasked with stopping him becoming the next Thanos-level threat to Earth.
