WandaVision Trilogy Will Reportedly Play a Key Role in Avengers: Doomsday

by

A recent report indicates that the events of Marvel’s WandaVision are directly connected to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. WandaVision, which premiered in 2021 as Marvel’s first Disney+ series, sparked the Agatha All Along spin-off and is continuing with the upcoming Vision Quest. After Wanda’s storyline in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (released in 2022), fans are especially curious about Elizabeth Olsen’s character and what part she’ll play in the rest of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As a big fan, I was worried when filming for Avengers: Doomsday wrapped up in 2025 and Elizabeth Olsen, along with her WandaVision co-stars like Kathryn Hahn and Paul Bettany, weren’t officially part of it. But thankfully, it sounds like WandaVision will still be really important to the story of Avengers 5! Alex Perez, who’s usually spot-on with these things, shared in a recent Q&A that the show will play a key role in what happens next.

As a huge fan of the MCU, I’m really excited to hear about how magic will be handled in Avengers: Doomsday. Apparently, the ideas about magic we saw in shows like WandaVision and Agatha All Along are going to be super important. They’re even drawing from things like the Darkhold, runes, and how Agatha Harkness uses magic. It sounds like Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will be a serious magic user, and a big part of the movie will be dedicated to exploring the supernatural side of the universe – something those earlier shows really established.

The film’s connection to shows like WandaVision lies in its exploration of magic. While it heavily features the multiverse, time travel, and science, a significant part of the story delves into the supernatural – things like the Darkhold, runes, and Agatha’s powers all tie into a plot point involving Doctor Doom in the ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ storyline. I can only hint at it by saying, be careful of anyone who claims to have ultimate power or knowledge.

Although Elizabeth Olsen has been part of the Avengers since Avengers: Age of Ultron, her character, Wanda Maximoff, didn’t get much chance to develop her backstory or abilities until WandaVision. That series finally showed the full extent of her powers, revealing she uses a rare form of magic called chaos magic. The show also introduced Agatha Harkness, a witch who could absorb magic, expanding the magical universe of the MCU – a concept further explored in Agatha All Along. The powerful book Wanda obtained at the end of WandaVision, called the Darkhold, then became important in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Everything seems to be building towards the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, which is rumored to include Doctor Doom using magic similar to what was seen in the WandaVision series.

Okay, so here’s the buzz: Apparently, Perez is saying Wanda Maximoff will show up in Avengers: Doomsday, but in a way nobody will see coming. It’s interesting because Elizabeth Olsen isn’t officially listed in the cast, and honestly, after what happened in Doctor Strange 2, I wasn’t even sure if Wanda was still… you know. It’ll be wild if she’s in it, especially if it’s an unexpected role!

Perez: “All I can say at the moment is that her involvement is slightly unexpected.”

It’s unclear from Perez’s statement exactly what role Olsen’s character will play in Doomsday. It’s possible Olsen won’t be appearing in the film herself, but that past actions of her character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be important to the story.

According to an insider, the upcoming series Vision Quest is connected to the Avengers: Doomsday film planned for 2026, but the connection is expected to be minimal. The show will star Paul Bettany as Vision and focus on him regaining his lost memories, a storyline first introduced in WandaVision. It will also likely include Vision and Wanda’s son, Tommy Maximoff, potentially allowing for more magical storylines.

The movie Vision Quest is planned to come out sometime in 2026, shortly before Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18th of that year.

Avengers: Doomsday Is Expanding the MCU’s Magic

Although Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn, who play witches in their Marvel series, won’t be in Avengers: Doomsday, the magical concepts introduced in their show will likely play a role in the movie.

Doctor Doom is likely to enrich the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s magical lore. He’s portrayed as incredibly skilled in both advanced science and potent magic.

As a film fan, I’m really excited about Doctor Doom’s potential in the upcoming Avengers movie. It sounds like the story, with its Multiversal scope, will cleverly blend science and magic, and Doom is perfectly positioned to showcase both. We don’t know exactly how his magical abilities will manifest yet, but the fact that he’s a master of both science and magic makes him a seriously formidable villain – a real threat on multiple levels.

Based on recent hints, it appears Doom needs the Darkhold or Wanda’s chaos magic to cast a powerful spell, possibly to destroy the Multiverse and prevent its problems. Wanda Maximoff showed how dangerous the Darkhold can be when someone uses it, so it’s hard to predict what might happen if Victor von Doom obtains it.
