It turns out that one popular WandaVision fan theory actually came very close to coming true.
Marvel Studios’ WandaVision spawned countless fan theories when it originally aired in early 2021. Many of the theories that sprouted around it turned out to be incorrect. The most well-known among these is the belief certain viewers had that WandaVision‘s final episodes would reveal a red-skinned comic book figure named Mephisto as the show’s secret villain.
That never ultimately came to pass, but it turns out that fans weren’t entirely misguided in thinking it would. In a recent interview with Variety, WandaVision and Agatha All Along creator Jac Schaeffer revealed that Stephen Strange was at one point supposed to appear in WandaVision. When asked if she could divulge any scrapped post-credits scenes that she’s written for Marvel over the years, Schaeffer, responded, “Yes.
Recommended Videos Schaeffer went on describe the scrapped scene in question, revealing, “It’s Wanda sitting on the porch of that cabin, and she’s rocking peacefully. And you know how Strange can do those circles around someone, and make them go somewhere? The circle starts around her, like she’s going to be teleported somewhere, and she stops it, so Strange has to show up in person. I just loved that so much, that Wanda would be like, ‘No, I’m not going to go where you want to teleport me.
Schaeffer’s initial idea was replaced by a scene that still finds Wanda Maximoff living in a remote cabin. Rather than her seemingly peaceful existence being interrupted by Doctor Strange, though, WandaVision‘s post-credits scene instead reveals Wanda’s astral form feverishly studying the pages of the corruptive book known as the Darkhold and hearing the voices of her two sons, Billy and Tommy, calling to her for help.
Related The scene that Schaeffer describes would have similarly set up Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and particularly Wanda’s antagonist relationship in that film with Stephen Strange. Not much was, therefore, lost by cutting the latter character’s cameo, though Marvel Cinematic Universe fans were certainly disappointed in 2021 when he didn’t appear in the show’s finale.
