So since most of the discussions here have been focused on Wanda, Vision or Agnes, I figured I would focus more on another character using more of a comic book reader perspective.
This is where the spoilers begin
So we all were overjoyed when we saw Quicksilver, right? I mean I definitely didn’t see that coming .
But it seems like most haven’t really given him much thought since the previous episode, so I’m going to shed some light on this topic which could potentially be incredibly important in the future of the MCU.
So who is Quicksilver in WandaVision?
Well, we have two ideas, the second being rather comic book based so just buckle in.
-
The most common one is that he’s Mephisto in disguise. But since we now know Agnes/Agatha is in control of everything supposedly, people are somewhat wondering if she’s Mephisto or at least this universe’ version of Mephisto. Still, it could be likely, seeing as how the comment he made about Vision being dead is not something regular Pietro would say.
-
The second one is that this Pietro was pulled from the Fox universe and is not the MCU Pietro just with a different face or “recast” as Darcy put it. If this is the case, this could potentially be one of the most important things to ever happen in the MCU. And it does connect back to Wanda, just bear with me here for a moment.
So the universe the Fox QS comes from is Earth-10005. And the MCU universe is Earth-199999. As Mysterio said in Far From Home even though he could have been making this up but it is unlikely since Beck is quite smart and he planned his scheme very well, the universes in the multiverse have the same biological consonants and appearance. So it would be possible for a Nexus being to reality warp a person from another universe into the same universe.
And who is a Nexus being? None other than Wanda herself. And Agnes also could be in this universe. I’m not sure if she is in 616. The reason why I bring up Agnes is because if she actually is controlling everything, she maybe pulled Pietro from the Fox universe.
But in either case, why does this matter?
Well, because it ties into Doctor Strange 2 and more importantly Spider-Man 3 which are all about the multiverse and maybe even omniverse depending on how much worldbuilding we may see even in WandaVision in the next few episodes.
In conclusion, Quicksilver is going to be very important going forward. We’ll just have to wait and see how his importance is executed. Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts.
