So this was a rabbithole to follow. A tumblr of an Insta of a photo of an article of another articleis a lot of layers, which come out to:
All we know about you in Avengers: Infinity War is
that you’re in it. I know that you can’t say much more than that, as far
as details about the film go, but what was it like to be a part of a
movie that quite possibly has the biggest cast of characters of any
film, ever? Did it feel that way when you were making it?
BETTANY: Yes, it really did. It felt like the biggest movie that I’ve
ever made and will ever make, and we’ve still got to make the [next]
one.
I posted about this a long time ago, and I said then that it sounded like he was confirmed for A4, so I get the read. But it’s not truly a confirmation and without posting the source, it’s maybe sending the wrong message to say that not only is it a confirmation, but that he could possibly be in more.
He may be. I do think he’s going to appear in A4 in some capacity.
If you have a different source, I’d love to see it! He has said in another interview something that would lead me to believe he was in A4, but still I’ve never seen anything as fact.
Aw, that’s the best! I don’t know if you consider yourself part of the fandom, but here’s a welcoming gift nonetheless!
Can you imagine if Shuri had successfully extracted the Mind Stone? All of the heartache of Wanda deciding whether she has to kill the man she loves, the Avengers and Wakandans fighting to the death to protect Vision, Vision having to convince Wanda to kill him… All avoided.
Only for Thanos to reverse time, claim the Mind Stone, and have Vision watch Wanda disintegrate before his eyes with a snap.

So what are your theories for avengers 4 and how Wanda will play out in it?
Anons, these questions are related so I’m tying them together.
Yes, I’ve had that exact thought! I think we have two points that support that:
I don’t believe the dusted Avengers are going to just stay gone until the movie’s end.
Parallel universes have been brought up in Doctor Strange, and he’s one of the dusted Avengers.
On the flip side, I’m pretty sure the writers have specifically said ‘no alternate universes’, but I can’t find the interview.
Like I said here, if they want to bring in Tommy and Billy, now is basically their one shot.
Okay,
so I’m well aware I’m viewing this through the lens of what I want to
see. My theories are coming back to her being important, but that could
easily be projection. And we know so little about it, all of our
theories are basically just us soft writing the script from whole cloth
(or scraps of cloth anyway).
BUT! If we’re going to be theorizing, I say let’s shamelessly tailor that script. What else do we have to do?
So, what could alternate universe Wanda with babies include?
Amnesia. If they’re looking to replicate Diassambled/HoM, a Wanda who
doesn’t remember her history is probably the closest we’ll get to a
Wanda who is unable to differentiate realities.
In the comics, the
Stones don’t work outside of their home universe. Her power was
connected to the Mind Stone. She may be now be powerless.
Or so we
think. One of the things the original twins were meant to represent was a
Wanda’s powers grown to unprecedented levels. Perhaps
her power lies with her children.
This could still mean Wanda loses her regular powers–thus prepping her for an apprenticeship to Doctor Strange.
If Wanda has to lose her kids, then I suspect the writers will want
Wanda being the key to connecting the universe so that she has agency in
this loss. Sacrificing what she loves most (again).
Post-credits stinger of a kid who’s referred to as “Billy” in the last second.
We just got confirmation A4 is not called Infinity Gauntlet. Could it
be Disassembled? I’ve heard that tossed around for a long time, but with
the end of IW it takes on a new meaning, with many of the Avengers
being literally disassembled.
Time was a constant theme in Wanda and Vision’s relationship in Avenger Infinity War.
All they wanted time. Time to stay together. Just a bit longer. Miss one train. Miss the next. Stayed in bed.
In the beginning, Natasha was scolding Wanda about not being reckless and always checking and what did Wanda say? ‘We just wanted time.’
Vision begged Wanda to destroy the stone while it was still in his head and he said ‘We are out of time.’
Thanos got the Mind Stone in the end, and how did he do it? The Time Stonex turning back time to when the Stone was still intact and gouged it out of Vision.
Time was never on Wanda and Vision’s side, and all they wanted was time.
Ngl, I’ve been rubbing my hands over that idea muttering “my precious, my precious” since I saw that casting call, and now especially with IW ending. Okay, points in favor:
There are somewhat credible rumors that a 16-year-old has been cast as Cassie Lang, specifically for Avengers 4. That’s 5-6 years older than the 10-year-old who played her in Ant-Man. Since Mar’Vell will be joining the MCU in Captain Marvel, and Hawkeye is going to have some solo adventures in Avengers 4 (Kate?) we may very well be primed for the Young Avengers.
And if we are primed for them, this is pretty much their only chance to bring in Tommy and Billy with anything close to resembling their comic book heritage.
Counterpoints:
The casting call was only for two days and went out very shortly before the role was needed and for a pretty small pay rate, and for young actors twins are often cast so that they can film around labor law constraints. This implies this is a very small role, which if Wanda’s got babies that’s going to be majorly important to her arc.
The casting call was for 2-year-olds, not 5-year-olds. If we’re talking about a time skip, the years don’t add up.
They could just bring in Wiccan and Speed with no connection to Wanda and/or Vision.
But those counterpoints are dependent on the idea the casting call was the only actors being cast for the twins. But realistically, they would had their casting director find suitable actors–I’ll point out we had no idea who the actress for young Gamora was until about a month before the movie, and that’s because she told us herself. So we wouldn’t realistically be clued into the Minimoffs until we got a trailer for them.
But–be careful what we wish for. The point in bringing Billy and Tommy in is so we can have Wiccan and Speed, and we can’t have them without the age up. Which means if we get the boys, then we’re going to lose the boys too. Poor Wanda…
Mine was silent both times, like it was a funeral. Spidey’s death was the only one that made me cry on my first watch. When Vision was being killed I was doing mental floor routines trying to figure out how he could get out of this, how he didn’t really have to die, so I wasn’t fully in the moment. And boy, Thanos sure showed me how Vision could get out of that…
