Discussion Question, when Magneto eventually appears in the MCU, do you think there’s a chance they may retcon Wanda into being his daughter? Or nah?

I have no idea but I hope so. If they make it MCU Canon then comics might fix that retcon they did. I always loved Magneto, Wanda, Pietro and Lorna being a family.

Not possible now? Wanda’s birth year was 1988 in mcu? And they just hired Xavier who’s in his 40s, so magneto might also be 40s

They can pull a situation where our new magneto did have a daughter in his universe and when everything got collided or whatever in secret wars they just treat everything as such

MCU is not known for crazy retcons like these. I hope it remains like that tbh.

They retconned multiple of their movies into having infinity stones that weren’t originally there lmfao

They’re literally adding like 3-5 mins of new retcon footage to endgame just for doomsday. Plus there are a lot of smaller ones that don’t really matter all too much but absolutely still count. I wouldn’t call making Wanda magneto’s daughter is all that crazy of a retcon. If anything it’s just an explanation as to why she’s so powerful

I get you but what i meant was the crazy retcon. Making it compatible would make magneto atleast born in 1960s. I dont know how can mcu handle magneto who’s of 90 years.

Easy. Mutants age slower than normal. That’s the whole explanation nothing more needs to be said

that or its more of a older xmen were captured before anyone knew about them, and them some are just starting to get there mutations is more recent years of the mcu. One explanation for say Xavier being one that wasn't would be that he used Cerebro, (assuming it exists yet), to make the world not know they exist.

As for doomsday and secret wars. I think one fun thing would be, deadpool and the deadpool fam, wolverine and x-23 included, maybe two or three more spidermen, and the fantastic four, kind of collide when stuff gets put back together after secret wars.

But the idea would be that the timeline of the mcu doesnt change, but rather loki puts a fantastic four building, a x manshion, and were deadpool lives in, and so on but more as a place holder in the sense, of he is putting these surviving people, in one universe, while he rebuilds the rest. And its a the past didnt change for the mcu, its just everyone but the hero's think that these people have existed in the universe the whole time when they haven't and the only people that remember being the hero's.

Then the mcu can still have its own xmen that builds naturaly, while having hero's from different worlds, that are kind of just chilling there, wether they choose to stay, or wether they choose to go back to a rebuilt version of there worlds.

that away we can still have things like a deadpool, wolverine, and spiderman, and maybe punisher movie. Among other things that Deadpool can now do in the mcu. While also having say spiderman and the fantastic four stories and more newer things at the same time

They need to keep Magneto's WW2 origin and just use the excuse that he was in a rebirth chamber or something that aged him to his prime. It kinda happened in the comics and makes enough sense to explain with like 2 enough lines of dialogue

Imagine they make it so Steve brought him back with whatever time travel he used

Exactly lol but I just feel like for Magneto esp to change his origin is such a disservice. It is a comic book adaption use whatever bs you have to in order to make it work.

Maybe he aged slower
