Dr. Strange 2: Is Wanda Avengers or the villain in the Marvel movie?

Warning, spoilers. The article below reveals the story elements from Dr. Strange in the many worlds of madness. If you have not seen the movie, go for it.

Finally released in cinemas after a pandemic delay, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness marks a major sinking into a multiverse for two Marvel characters, Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). But are they really allies in this new Marvel Studios movie?

While the trailer shows Strange asking Wanda for help with the multiverse, the latter reveals her true colors fairly quickly. Avengers: After the Endgame, where all the characters fought together against Thanos, Wanda has come a long way, on the evil side.

Previously on WandaVision

In the Disney + series WandaVision, a magician inadvertently took Westview residents hostage. Thanks to his extremely powerful powers, he has manipulated many people to live in an alternate reality in which he happily lives with Vision (Paul Bethany), who died in Infinity War and… with his two children!

Driven by her childhood grief and childhood obsession with American sitcoms, Wanda seeks to enjoy a normal existence for decades and through the passage of various genres of sitcoms, through her increased power and the false reality she creates. The terrible sorcerer is pushed by Agatha Harkness (Catherine Hahn), Wanda uses and abuses her powers when she really understands his fate.

Indeed, WandaVision is also the story of Wanda becoming a scarlet magician, a name worn by a powerful heroine in comics that the MCU can finally use after Disney’s capture of Fox. The last two episodes of WandaVision explain the story of its origins, its power from the magic of chaos and the stone of the mind, but also the legend that surrounds it, described in Darkhold.

When he realizes what a threat and harm he is causing, Wanda frees the people of Westview, interrupts her alternate reality, and then bids farewell to Vision and her children, whom she has created. And went into solitary exile.

If anyone could have imagined that he would break away from black magic, this is not the case. After the second post-credits scene of the WandaVision finale, Wanda relies on the mind projection of the scarlet witch to browse Darkhold, the dark book of the accursed from hell. He searches the other world for multiverses to find options for his twins who are heard screaming for help.

Scarlet Magician in the madness of multiverse

Therefore, this is a completely different Wanda that we find in Dr. Strange in many worlds of madness. While he cuts a good figure along with Strange when he first finds it, he has no choice but to reveal his true evil intentions when he raises America Chavez (Kosschitl Gomez), a young girl who has the ability to travel. Among the worlds that Strange tries to protect and help from the various demons that follow him.

Wanda wants to use it to be able to travel to many worlds and thus combine with her twin variants. But the return of American power means killing him, and Strange will not allow Wanda to carry out his evil plan. So Wanda is no longer an avenger in Dr. Strange in the many worlds of madness, but a great villain in the movie.

He will follow Strange and America through multiverse and not shy away from sowing chaos and defeating all who stand in his way, especially the Illuminati. Until she realizes, thanks to America, that she really can not be the mother of twin variants found in the other world, and that she is breaking up and wreaking havoc.

He then restores the items by freeing Darkhold from the hands and destroying all versions of this book before disappearing into the wreckage of Mount Wundgore, where Darold’s spells and powers were recorded as a demonic creature by Kton.
