Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Rumours That Were Utter Bull
13. Scarlet Witch Is A Secret Villain
The Rumour: An outlandish theory that nevertheless picked up a decent amount of traction online, that Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) is actually a secret antagonist, likely being turned against the Avengers by Thanos via Infinity Stones shenanigans, who possibly also exploits her prior hated for Tony Stark.
The Truth: This isn't even hinted at or teased in any way. Scarlet Witch is nothing but a heroic character throughout the entire film, struggling with the dilemma that eventually comes to pass: killing Vision (Paul Bettany) in order to destroy the Mind Stone, which is ultimately in vain anyway.
When you've got a villain as brilliantly imposing as Thanos, not to mention the Black Order in tow, adding more antagonists to the mix would've just felt like overkill. Plus, hasn't the MCU already done the mind-control zombie nonsense to death already?
