Perhaps this new Pietro is just some guy from Westview who Wanda “recast” to play Pietro when she needed him, and Peters’ appearance is a tribute to sitcoms past that have recast principal characters. Then again, as “WandaVision” has shown, Wanda can transform existing things into something else - see the kevlar in Monica Rambeau’s outfits - and affect people’s understanding of their own identity to play the characters in her sitcom. Perhaps “WandaVision” will offer hints as to how mutants and the X-Men can be incorporated into the MCU. Wanda was shown to have the ability to take away (and later restore) mutants’ powers. The end of the “House of M” storyline also had important repercussions for the X-Men and all mutantkind on Earth. It’s eventually revealed that Pietro was the one who suggested she use her power in that way - because he was afraid the Avengers/X-Men, who had deemed the grieving Wanda a powerful threat, would kill her.

Pietro’s appearance could also be in tribute to Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel’s 2005 series “House of M,” one of the comic book storylines that seems to have inspired parts of “WandaVision.” In the eight-issue story, Wanda’s overwhelming grief leads her to use her powers to create an alternate reality where many characters are living out their dreams. Perhaps Wanda pulling in the “X-Men” franchise’s Peter - the Pietro of another universe - into her world in Westview is a precursor to how the multiverse will come into play in the MCU. And it’s already known that events of “WandaVision” will help set up the upcoming “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.” The concept of a multiverse - or the concurrent existence of a group of multiple observable universes - is not new or unique to Marvel (see “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”). Peters’ appearance as Pietro on Wanda’s doorstep might be anything from a fun easter egg to foreshadowing of what’s to come on the show and in the MCU more broadly. It might be the introduction of two characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On Friday, “WandaVision” announced the arrival of Wanda and Vision’s twin boys. Television ‘WandaVision’s’ new twins might be Marvel heroes.

Fox’s separate “X-Men” franchise is no more, and Marvel Studios is free to incorporate any of those characters into the MCU. Ultimately, this meant Fox’s “X-Men” movies could include Quicksilver/Peter as long as there was no mention of the Avengers, and the MCU movies could include Pietro as long as there was no mention of mutants or the X-Men.ĭisney’s acquisition of Fox in 2019 changed that. Until recently, different companies owned the film rights to the two teams. This means Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were associated with both the “X-Men” and “Avengers” comic book titles, which is not an issue in the comics but becomes more complicated when licensing agreements come into play. When the twins eventually switch sides, they choose to join the Avengers. Before their familial ties were revealed, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were part of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. In the comic books, Wanda/Scarlet Witch and Pietro/Quicksilver are twin mutants who eventually learn their father is Magneto, a character that over the years has more often been an X-Men villain than not.
