Throughout the MCU, there have been some characters that have, even in spite of being outstanding in their own right, become synonymous with others. Captain America and Iron Man, Thor and Loki, and Nat and Clint are all incredible Marvel duos, but this trend didn’t start with the MCU.

When the dust settles from the internet hearing Patrick Stewart’s voice in the Multiverse of Madness, the question of his friend and nemesis will inevitably be asked. If Professor X is making his MCU debut in 2022, what about Magneto?

The two were the key characters in Fox’s X-Men universe, and whether they were on the same side or fighting one another, they almost went hand in hand. As part of the Illuminati, Erik would offer an interesting Devil’s advocate view on almost every issue, and would potentially have a lot to say about Doctor Strange’s actions.

However, the most mouth watering prospect of Magneto appearing in the Doctor Strange sequel has nothing to do with being a part of the Illuminati, it would be as Wanda Maximoff’s father. The two finally sharing the screen after all this time could be the catalyst to making the Scarlet Witch’s villainous turn complete.
