mcu – Page 10 – Those Celestial Bodies

Listen, I’m still buzzing with excitement about the (potential) Scarlet Witch short series. Wanda’s had just about 10 minutes of screentime per movie, and I’ve always reconciled the fact that the best we could ever hope for was maybe a secondary starring role like Nat in WS in maybe a Doctor Strange movie. But this? This is Wanda getting ten, twenty, thirty times the amount of screentime she ever got in any individual movie.

The potential is enormous. Aspects about her character I never believed they’d ever have time to truly delve into are possible. Agatha. Chthon. Real witchcraft.

We’d be able to see new facets of Wanda. Wanda in the movies only had time for a short character arcs, and they’ve always been filled with tragedy. I imagine her series will still be pretty somber, but the runtime gives us the possibility to see Wanda truly joyful, haughty, angry, hopeful. Wanda shouting, Wanda grieving, Wanda telling jokes,

Wanda being kind. A fullness of character we’d never get to experience in the movies because she was a supporting character in a cast that kept getting more featured characters.

But then there’s also the possibility… like it could actually happen… we’d really get the twins. Wanda as a mutant. Magneto and Magda. And then have it tie back into the movies.

I always half-felt that A4 would have to be the peak for MCU Wanda (and Wanda in general for at least some years)–and now we have whole new worlds of possibilities ahead.

What is the best part about playing Scarlet [Witch]?

ben-wisehart:

Maybe someone can help me out with this, where in MCU canon is it established that Wanda is/was a teenager? I always assumed she was like, early twenties at the start of AOU. I get that she’s had a traumatic childhood but she neither looks nor acts like a teenager, however I’m prepared to be corrected on this?

I do think it’s plausible she was 18 in AoU. I would argue she’s at least coded as being no older than early 20s. However, she can’t be younger than 17, since she was 10 when her parents died and Tony didn’t stop making weapons until 2008. She is likely meant to be a bit older though.

The people who think she’s like still 17 even in IW are either kids themselves who think that that’s older than it is, or people not getting that her being referred to as a kid has more to do with her relative inexperience than actual age.
