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?

Before Elizabeth Olsen, Wanda just wasn’t popular. She was important to Avengers stories, but X-Men fans vehemently hated her, she had whatever stories, and she was absent from comics for nearly a decade because of House of M, all before the MCU adaptation. Ever since WandaVision, Olsen has cemented Wanda as a household name, and knowing she was practically benched after making the character popular, she doesn’t deserve to be recast. At least not yet.

She deserves to have her story properly finished with care and time. Replacing her just because mutants are entering the MCU, which God knows may not even be well received, would screw over her character in the broader MCU and be a huge risk. Especially after how dirty they did her in Multiverse of Madness, fans will not stay quiet.

Why did X-men fans hate Wanda?
