WandaVision is clearly building to a major showdown between the two title heroes, especially considering the cliffhanger events of this week’s episode. Vision finally appears to have figured out what’s going on after trying to get S.W.O.R.D.’s help in rescuing the residents of WestView, but Wanda is having none of it.
She casually expanded the perimeter of the town to a massive degree without even breaking a sweat, making it clear that not only are her powers stronger than anyone could have imagined, but the only reason WestView is such an insignificant blip on the map is because that’s the way she wants it to be, presumably in the hopes that she’d just be left alone to get on with her fabricated existence.
The smash hit Disney Plus show has done an infuriatingly great job at answering several questions on a weekly basis before posing a handful more with even greater implications, and we’ve now heard from our sources – the same ones who told us War Machine was getting his own streaming series long before Armor Wars was announced – that Wanda’s full-blown villainous turn is very much on the cards and going to happen quite soon.
It’s been looking increasingly likely over the last several weeks, but according to our intel, WandaVision won’t resolve everything by the end of the first season and Scarlet Witch will be positioned as a proper villain in the MCU moving forward (for a little bit, at least) that more than one superhero will need to battle against. Specifics remain thin on the ground, but Monica Rambeau’s mysterious ‘guy on the ridge’ that she referenced could end up being a significant figure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s past, present or future designed to hammer home the point that Wanda is quickly spiralling out of control and needs to be stopped.
