The Avengers defeat all the forces at the Hydra base and capture Strucker, but Wanda and Pietro escape. Wanda gets inside Tony Stark's head and pushes him to see his actions leading to the deaths of his fellow Avengers, and eventually allows Tony to take Loki's scepter (with the Mind Stone inside) for himself, believing that it will eventually lead to him driving the Avengers to their destruction. Wanda and Pietro both appear early on in Avengers: Age of Ultron, being used as Strucker's weapons against the Avengers.

We see him overseeing experiments being run on Wanda, who is telekinetic, and Pietro, who has super speed. Wanda's first appearance in the MCU comes in a Winter Soldier credits scene she's seen, along with her brother, Pietro, in the captivity of a Hydra operative named Strucker. There are a few movies to work through -so let's get onto it and get you ready for some weird superhero sitcom stuff. Scarlet Witch first appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Vision first appeared in Avengers: Age of Ultron. So we went back to the archive to wrap everything up in a neat package. So it's hard to blame anyone for needing a refresher. Prior to WandaVision, while both characters had their moments, they did tend to get a little bit lost in the scuffle of everything else happening around them. So some of us might want to watch WandaVision, but still be wondering, uh, who were these guys again? It's confusing for anyone to dive into a full-on bizarro superhero/sitcom hybrid world, but probably especially so if you don't remember these characters, or why they're walking through walls or making things fly with their brain. At this point, there are 23 movies, and it's a little bit harder to work a full rewatch of those than, say, three Lord of the Rings movies. The thing is, though, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is quite a big library to work through.

Luckily us, that's come to an end, as Disney+'s new limited series, WandaVision, is bringing the expansive world back to us-and telling us the story of two key characters: Wanda Maximoff/ Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision ( Paul Bettany). Due to COVID-19, it's been an 18-month layover since any new MCU content has been released (the last was Spider-Man: Far From Home in July 2019). Below, we've pulled together a brief history of everything Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision have done in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far.įor those of us following the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's no way to beat around the bush-it's been a long time.If you want to check the new series out, but you're thinking "Uh, what's their deal again?" well, you're not alone.Disney+'s new series WandaVision, looks at two of Marvel's main characters of the past six years: Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision.
