MCU: 10 Supernatural Characters Who Will DOMINATE Phase 5

Wanda Maximoff is a character who's been through a lot of retcons in the comics since her debut, so it was pretty funny to see WandaVision mirror that journey by introducing a retcon of its own.

The series finally honoured the character with her actual title (and costume!), and in the process cemented her as a key part of the MCU's growing supernatural contingent.

As with Doctor Strange, the suggestion currently is that Wanda will have a big part to play as the MCU charts a new course into the mystical corners of Marvel's source material. WandaVision introduced so many new things involving the character, including her destiny as the Scarlet Witch, her children, and the prospect she may yet be reunited with Vision at some point, and it's doubtful all will be resolved in Strange's own film when that drops in 2022.

Whether on Disney+ or on the big screen, expect Wanda to be right in the middle of whatever Marvel Studios has planned once Phase Four wraps up.
