WandaVision Just Cracked Open The Multiverse With [SPOILERS] Cameo

We knew the MCU was about to dive into the multiverse in a big way, but we just weren’t expecting it quite this soon. The fifth episode of WandaVision debuted on Disney Plus this Friday, and it featured a shocking cameo from a familiar character – but not one who’s familiar to the MCU. Major spoilers to follow…

By the end of the episode, Vision no longer trusts his wife as he’s discovered she’s controlling the people of Westview. Just when the truth is about to come out, there’s a knock at the door – and Wanda is dumbstruck by who she finds there. It’s her brother, Pietro Maximoff, but it’s not the version of Quicksilver who died in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Instead it’s Evan Peters, reprising the role he played in Fox’s X-Men movies.

“Long-lost bro get to squeeze his stinkin’ sister to death or what?” says “Pietro”, before giving his stunned sister a hug. Darcy Lewis, watching events from back at the SWORD compound, reacts with shock. “She recast Pietro?” Darcy says. Pietro then notices Vision, in his natural android form, and quips, “Who’s the popsicle?” Cue canned laughter and credits.

We’ve always known Peters would factor into WandaVision, since his casting leaked last year. We didn’t know exactly who he was playing, though, but as it appears right now he is indeed returning as Fox’s Quicksilver. But if that is the case, how has he crossed universes? Are either of the witches on the show – Wanda or Agnes, who’s got to be Agatha Harkness – powerful enough to do that? And why does Wanda recognize him as her twin when he doesn’t look the same? Is Wanda really in the driver’s seat or is she being mind-controlled herself? Will Peters be sticking around the MCU from now on?

It’s going to be a long week until we get to learn some more about this mind-bending multiversal twist when WandaVision drops its next episode next Friday.
