WandaVision to explore the origins of Scarlet Witch's powers

 

Looks like fans are going to get a lot of answers about the origins of Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch's powers when "WandaVision" premieres on Disney + on January next year, as Marvel Studios head and MCU architect Kevin Feige has teased in a feature by Empire that Elizabeth Olsen's character will be fleshed out as her romance with Paul Bettany's Vision continues in a seemingly fantasy alternate reality that more or less was created by her.

“If you look at the Infinity Saga, I don’t think any single person has gone through more pain and trauma than Wanda Maximoff. And no character seems to be as powerful as Wanda Maximoff. And no character has a power-set that is as ill-defined and unexplored as Wanda Maximoff,” MCU boss Kevin Feige tells Empire. “So it seemed exploring that would be worthwhile post-Endgame. Who else is aware of that power? Where did it come from? Did the Mind Stone unlock it?”

WandaVision will debut on Disney + on December 15.

The Avengers 2: Loki won't be returning according to Joss Whedon

Looks like fans of Marvel's God of Mischief won't be seeing their favorite trickster back for The Avengers 2.

During his guesting at the Empire Podcast and reported via a post in Bleeding Cool, Joss Whedon confirmed and silenced the persisting rumors that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would see the return of Tom Hiddleston as "Loki" for the sequel to the 2012 superhero team blockbuster movie, where he played the main antagonist for the film.

Lifted from the podcast and article, Whedon remarked:

 "Everyone is going to be looking for the Loki-Hulk smash moment [in Avengers 2] and you’ll be looking for quim. First of all, imitating what I did before is the surest way to do it not as well. Second of all, Loki’s not there to say those terrible things. Although I do think we should bring the word back. Not as an insult, it’s just a nice word."

Well, there you have it. No Loki for The Avengers 2. At least he'll be coming back for Thor: The Dark World. For more info, read more from the source post at Bleeding Cool.
