It’s unfortunate that Marvel didn’t bring back Aaron Taylor Johnson to play Pietro in these scenes. When Wanda touches the blue casing around the Infinity Stone it shatters in a burst of amber colored energy. The Hydra scientists have Loki’s scepter and they ask Wanda to touch it even though no one has yet survived doing that. Where’d you get the big guns, Wanda?” Agatha takes Wanda next to when she was involved in the terrorist organization Hydra. So, when she used her powers they would typically cause things that normally wouldn’t happen to happen….such as a rock slide or ceiling caving in.Īgatha says “What I see here is a baby witch, obsessed with sitcoms with years of therapy ahead of her. In the comics for many years the only way they explained the Scarlet Witch’s powers was by saying her hexes influenced probability fields. She thinks Wanda used a “probability hex” to keep the missile from exploding. Agatha literally pulls Wanda back from the flashback. On the side of the missile it reads “Stark Industries”. Wanda and Pietro hide under a piece of furniture and a missile lands in front of them but does not explode. Abruptly, their building is destroyed by an explosion and the parents are killed. Wanda’s favorite is The Dick Van Dyke Show. Hiding in their apartment with their parents while the streets outside are a war zone, they pass the time watching old American sitcoms. Agatha is extremely interested in Wanda’s abilities and she is using Billy and Tommy as leverage to make Wanda take a trip down memory lane.įirst stop: Sokovia when Wanda and Pietro were children. However, Wanda and Vision become the first MCU heroes to get their own television series, WandaVision, and it is here that we finally get the origin of The Scarlet WitchĪgatha is holding Wanda in her basement dungeon. While many fans called Wanda the Scarlet Witch, she never adopts this name in the MCU films. Wanda remains with the Avengers and appears in Captain America Civil War, Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame.

Unfortunately Pietro is killed in battle. It doesn’t take long, though, before Wanda and Pietro turn against the AI and join the Avengers in trying to stop him. It would then be nearly 20 more years till Wanda (and her brother Pietro) made their way to the big screen, appearing in a cameo at the end of Captain America The Winter Soldier before being featured in The Avengers Age Of Ultron as villains fighting the Avengers with the mad robot Ultron. It would be another 30 years to her next appearance, again on a team, this one Force Works, which was a part of the Iron Man cartoon in the mid 90s.

The Avengers were frequent guest stars on Cap’s show, both the original team and the second team of which Wanda belonged.
