Elizabeth Olsen Also Thought Evan Peters' WANDAVISION Casting Meant MCU Was Merging with Fox's X-MEN

WandaVision has come to an end, and after last week’s episode, fans were given confirmation that some of the theories we had come up with were true (Agatha Harkness), and some were not (Pietro/Quicksilver crossover). While I believe that the MCU didn’t just straight up troll us, and there is still something to the fact that “Ralph” does have real super powers and is probably Jimmy Woo’s guy in witness protection, it is yet to be seen, and we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Even Wanda herself, actress Elizabeth Olsen, has the same thought process that we were when she found out that Evan Peters was cast in the role of Pietro. In a recent interview with Olsen and WandaVision head writer and executive producer Jac Schaeffer, Olsen said:

When we heard that Evan was going to do it, my mind was blown. “This is the first time we’re merging! This is crazy!” And then to use it in such a clever way as as Jac does was so satisfying. Working with Evan playing this version of Pietro [laughing] was just so fun and weird and funny and oh God, Jac I loved it so much. I’m so grateful for that.

Regarding the fan theories and bigger picture connections, Olsen went on to say:

I knew that there are theories that had to do with people wanting more surprises in cameos. But I’m not really that aware of what these fan theories were, so I’m kind of learning about it as we go. Paul said something about this crazy cameo when he was really just talking about doing a scene with himself, and I know Paul thought that was a really funny joke, and I thought it was funny. But I was like, I think people are actually going to suspect that there is more to come.

I didn’t know about the multiverse when we were filming this. So I wouldn’t assume that that’s what was happening. I thought it was just a clever way to have a Pietro. I didn’t understand the larger plan of the multiverse until I started working on “Multiverse,” or whatever our movie’s called, the “Doctor Strange” sequel!

I think it is still possible to link to this greater plan. But we will just have to wait and see. What do you think?
