7 Reasons Why Wanda Maximoff Will Be The MCU’s Greatest Threat Yet

Photos from the set of WandaVision make it pretty clear S.W.O.R.D will be making its MCU debut this December (if you don’t include Far From Home’s post-credits scene), and if S.W.O.R.D’s involved, the threat Wanda’s reality-altering powers pose to the security of the universe must be significant.

S.W.O.R.D, which stands for Sentient World Observation and Response Department, has its headquarters in space and is an organisation that involves itself with extraterrestrial threats to world security – so think S.H.I.E.L.D but all spacey. Although this will likely be retconned the way The Ancient One retconned her way into the Battle of New York in Avengers: Endgame, S.W.O.R.D has yet to involve itself in any of the threats The Avengers have faced up until now.

Where were they when Thanos was wiping out half the universe or when Ultron was dropping cities from the sky? If S.W.O.R.D considers the threats posed in WandaVision more worthy of their time and efforts than Thanos wiping out half the universe, then Wanda’s quaint little sitcom dream must be more of a nightmare than it appears.
