She’s dead until she isn’t.

[@LeoAcero]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 they really believe it’s over when so many projects are WandaVision adjacent. 😂😂

[@tonyOn1ce]

Yeah, I dont believe this for a moment.

[@byronkennedy7203]

I was going to say the same thing

[@Samuel-qe9lj]

Until they reach a contract agreement 😂

[@keithoneil9894]

“No ones ever really gone.”

[@scrrin]

Yes, and Andrew Garfield isn't in No Way Home. I bet she comes back either in Agatha or VisionQuest.

[@jamesvaldez185]

The executive didn't say she was dead. She said Wanda was off the table. Not the same thing. She ain't dead, but she wants people to think she is.

[@parsman9914]

What are you talking about, John? The Gamora that "came back" was totally a different person. It wasn't like she was happy to see the Guardians. It's like you don't even remember what happened in GOTG vol.3.

[@itzante2148]

Every time John rants about Wanda’s kids it just reminds me that he must not be as familiar with the kid’s comic book stories.

[@denM-ey3vb]

He isn’t.

[@joshuacollins9316]

Yeah he doesn’t understand how they came back and how it tied into what they are doing in Agatha.

[@LeoAcero]

A reality warping witch who uses chaos magic and he complains about logic. 😂😂

[@brendantasker]

He definitely doesn't know about Billy Kaplan in the comics, because Billy Maximoff takes on a new body, plus Marvel is setting up the young avengers, Kamala literally wants to form a team of Young Avengers at the end of The Marvels, perfect time to bring back Wanda's twins for the team, get them to enter their souls into the bodies of almost dying teenagers and then age them up so they can actually fight in big battles with Kate, Kamala, Cassie ect.

[@michael141998]

I disagree with the Gamora point. I think Guardians 3 showed that just because a version of someone you knew can show up, it doesn’t mean that they are the same. The love can be gone and the goals and ambitions of that person can be completely different.

[@michaelgonzalez3237]

The quote from that executive does not mean she's dead, and if it's not from Fiege, it's hard to believe.

[@byronkennedy7203]

Mention RDJ coming back and everything John just said goes out the window. He loves that idea.

[@michaeld2440]

I think "off the table" 100% means she has a story written already and a specific time when she'll be coming back.

[@TridentLandStudios]

Remember when the creator of Acolyte said Yoda would never show up... yeah. That Marvel quote said tune in and find out. She's returning.

[@LeoAcero]

It amazes me how little imagination there is in this entire video. He doesn’t want to believe anything remotely revolving around Wanda. Teen is Billy? “Nah”. She’s coming back? “Nah” When you’re dealing with magical based characters, there’s always a way back. They’re not gonna say she’s back in interviews when she’s not back YET. They have to play coy. Marvel is not going to get rid of one of their biggest characters.

[@Relugus]

IMHO She's in Chthon's dimension (Flickering Realms/K'Lay).

[@robertbrown1829]

Cmon john surely your not that dumb. Theres no way you kill off one of most popular characters if not the most popular right now. that has been rising since civil war.

[@BarnesGannon]

She'll be back whenever Elizabeth Olsen wants to return

[@EchanteDante]

Why do people always compare Agatha to Penguin they couldn’t be more different.

[@ericwilliams1031]

Tell me you haven't seen the Funko Pop spoiler without telling me you haven't seen the Funko Pop spoiler.

[@epiphany519]

She's "off the table" until they can come to an agreement on money for the next contract then "Abracadabra" she's back on the table (if it sells and people buy that billion or more of tickets).

[@jackmac9502]

There are 3 guarantees in life, death, taxes, and John’s ability to always take people’s words at face value 😂😂

[@Powerful-Primate26]

Wanda is off the table huh? That's weird considering MARVEL has a Scarlett Witch movie in the worls. LoL

[@SteveJohnson-v3r]

If she's dead then what's the point of the Vision Disney + show?

[@vendovi3057]

Vision is his own person/character. He doesn't Need Wanda ?

[@DruvMarwah-si6ni]

To setup drStrangePart2

[@DruvMarwah-si6ni]

To promote

[@simonchai3040]

They always say that. Means nothinhg at all

[@RafitaPapita2099]

Will never understand why they spent a whole season soft rebooting the character just to kill her off. Absolutely frustrating creative decision 🙄

[@lucariomew365]

I mean it doesn't help when neither the movies, director nor the screenwriter writer of the movie, doesn't watch the show that they soft rebooted the character with. And just reads, checks notes, studio notes summarizing her story arc from WandaVision.

[@blissjockey]

This video is not going to age well 😂😂

[@daydreaminavenue]

I refuse to believe that wanda is dead. Call me delulu but idc what anyone says until we see her actual dead face I won’t believe it

[@Mr.JakeSkywalker]

so she's not dead, John decides to say she's dead anyway hahaha. Okay

[@xxForgottenx]

She's definitely coming back. Its just a matter of when.

[@adamwhite4858]

I know the fake deaths are a bit much sometimes, but Wanda being dead would be really stupid imo. Wanda is more than capable of surviving the end of MoM, and that red flash when the mountain came down sort of implied that she used magic at the last second. There’s plenty that can still be done with the character, especially with White Vision still out there. The Scarlett Witch in her truest form literally just came to fruition at the end of Wandavision, and it would be lame for the character to be gone forever.

[@JXRD1E]

U can't be taking this seriously 😅 they are literally bringing her kids back lmao and fiege himself said she isn't dead

[@michaeljohnson8868]

I believe Wanda's dead just as much as I believe Toy Story 5 will be the last in the franchise 🙄

[@HealingSwordsman]

They killed her in such a weird way - after all that development thats how it all ends? Im ok with them killing thr character off but THAT was her ending? I dont have much faith in marvel thry dont have the same magic anymore.

[@NIXXUN]

sure the omega level mutant died becuz of some rocks great

[@Durag__bandit98]

If kevin ain say that shit idgaf wat any exec say

[@DanKirkwoodJr]

She "WAS" taken off the table, BUT Wanda's out there and she's comin' back! :) She was a Nexus being. She was readin' the Darkhold. She probably left to Chthon's dimension, can eventually defeat him and come back more powerful than ever.

[@BensTechTube]

WHY IN THE HOLY F*CK WOULD Marvel EVEN CONSIDER doing VISION QUEST WITH NO WANDA???!!! HMMMM???😊

[@johncampea]

Because Vision is a great, rich character with or without Wanda. He was actually once the leader of the Avengers.

[@jace3848]

Dr strange MoM proved Wanda has variants out there. So a variant who is Magneto's daughter could join the MCU.

[@thevectorcave3616]

She WAS taken off the table, and why would we have to tune in to find out more, if we already knows she's off the table.

[@joshuacollins9316]

Bro you are 100% off with this lol Wanda is without a doubt coming back, here’s why. 1. has a movie rn in development that will probs come out after Secret Wars. 2. At the end of the movie they showed a flash of light which was her teleporting somewhere( most likely the witches road.) 3. Agatha all along has been confirmed to be a pt. 2 of 3. (Wandavision, Agatha, Vision Quest) vision Quest is currently being worked on and is supposed to conclude her trilogy. 3. Ofc the execs are going to say she’s “off the table” to throw fans off, cause they’re obviously doing something with her character. 4. TEEN IS BILLY. Like even taking the leaks out, there are so many hints. The W over his mouth when he tries to talk about his past (for Wanda). The fact that in the comics he came back in a similar way, (his spirit from Wandavision was out Into someone else’s body) and he doesn’t know he’s Wanda’s son, that’s why he talks about having diff family members. 5. Secret Wars and Avengers Doomsday are coming, and she is too important of a character not to be a part of it. Especially when they’re bringing everyone back.

[@Dis2good]

I just wish the execs wouldn’t say anything. I hate being lied to 😡

[@Joses_Journey]

what if off the table means she's off the morgue table! lol

[@stevenritchie2361]

thats exactly what it means lol

[@Venator2015]

So they plan to introduce Doom as a magic based reality manipulator and they decide NOT to have him square off against the pre-existing magic based reality manipulator?

[@Daisymayspeaks]

Bringing gamora back from the past actually hurt more than her dying like I didn’t even get the grieve her properly

[@bronxprpapi]

You not gonna speak on the 2 hour episode of Superman n Lois??

[@InnerlockMedia]

Campea has become the biggest Disney hater and it's just shot after shot daily regarding Disney, marvel, and Star Wars is always reinforcing negative thought for art is crazy

[@Nick50151]

How do read read Wanda is dead from: "Wanda was taken off the table. So I think fans will have to tune in to find out more. That’s all I can say.”? This sounds more like hint, that Scarlet Witch is still alive.

[@chris76465]

And Andrew Gafield is not in No Way Home 😂😂😂

[@telluhwatboy]

It’s like watching a dog crawl under a house to die. They don’t know what to do, or what they want to do.

[@lloydharris8766]

They also mentioned Mephisto. If there is anyone who is going to have to have a convo with him and walk out of hell. It's her.

[@alexdahnyul]

She probably gonna come back in Vision Quest

[@byronkennedy7203]

You can't use Teens age being wrong as proof. We saw Wanda's kids age up at will.

[@EchanteDante]

If she is that is THEE DUMBEST CHOICE IVE EVER HEARD! Wanda is one of very few characters I still find interesting and think has A TON TO EXPLORE STILL

[@shizzledink]

I'm disappointed that she's gone. Hopefully they rethink that decision and bring her back.

[@Ronnet]

Vision is getting his own tv show. Wanda will be back.

[@kendricmaine1234]

It would be stupied to take words off the table she's to popular

[@Kainmuchan83]

As Dr.McCoy liked to say: "She's Dead Jim"

[@WilliamJames48]

Next we'll find out she never was The Scarlet Witch, just a person in a costume who throws red smoke bombs..

[@paulrhodes6564]

She’s only “dead” until VisionQuest finds a way to bring her back to reunite her with Vision

[@sayheyguy]

Until Mephisto brings her back

[@lookupdownAni]

Well she could be playing with words. She said she was off the table and to tune in. Well, the dead body that was thought to be Wanda in the first episode was last seen on the table in the morgue, maybe that Wanda did get off of the table in a future episode.

[@Mankysausage]

Man what a waste of

[@lucariomew365]

So the comic books gave us an explanation for how Wanda's kids come back. Which is why many people (especially anyone who read children's crusade) think "Teen" could be Wiccan, especially if the MCU is going to do a Young Avengers. But also, at this point, it seems like the MCU has already merged several different character points from Young avengers characters. Teen could be an amalgamation of two different kids for all we know, but I still think he's Wiccan.

[@TheWhills]

Marvel Fake Death Universe

[@thedarkknight2221]

John is very superficial when it comes to the multiverse. Look at the Spiderverse movies, all those variants are different enough that they’re almost different characters entirely from the original. The same is with Gamora. The one we have now is extremely different from the one Thanos murdered, to the point that she’s almost a different person.

[@christopherliverman8333]

Wanda might be “dead” but is the Scarlett Witch? 👀

[@stevoflotb4098]

Remember yall "Wanda" is dead not Scarlet Witch 😎

[@ChristianJDY]

Wanda has the worst character development. She went from recovery to screw everything.

[@Relugus]

They obviously don't value her as a character, as evidenced by them turning a character who had alot of complexity and depth into a one-dimensional cartoon villain. My feeling is that they don't know how to dig the character out of the narrative hole they dug her into.

[@ChristianJDY]

@@Relugus yeah and somehow others loved it. I understand to each their own, but I just think Marvel sort of regrets some of their decisions on Wanda.

[@christianmichael3120]

Assuming that the other Wanda from MoM will be the one coming back. I’d think that universe with the Illuminati will suffer an incursion based on the events of the movie and Wanda will get out for the next two avengers

[@adventuresinAI1982]

Nah.. she'll be back.

[@jasonholman1011]

Even if she’s dead, there is still a multiverse, and time travel, and more.

[@seanleon2766]

Welcome to the multiverse. Even if you were to remove the multiverse, magic does exist in the MCU, and the dead can be resurrected. Anything is possible in the MCU.

[@IndieFilmmaker82]

Total misread on this quote, IMO. Off the table means nobody was allowed to use her in anything for the time being. 'Tune in and find out' is just another hint toward her return. Off topic, rewatch MoM. Wanda has kids. She made her kids in the hex based on her connection to her kids in the other universes. She created kids (like a mother does) and their appearance and personalities are from real versions of her kids.

[@shawolcherry]

This. Lots of word play in that statement. I was hoping when what Wanda (pre-"Scarlet Witch") showed each Avenger in Age of Ultron minus Hulk and Tony (which is Doom Stark) manifested to reality throughout the course of the movies leading up to Endgame that would mean something or maybe it will in a future movie. It would be such a crime to bring in the Mutant saga and a version of Wanda isn't a part of it after all the hard work Elizabeth Olsen put into being the character and MoM ruined it all. Most actors don't do the research or know anywhere near as much as she knows about Wanda...

[@pats3212]

She created FAKE kids with magic, and she wanted to steal REAL kids from another universe to make the FAKE kids for herself

[@OzzVidal]

Wrong!! Gamora wasn't dead for five minutes. She died in one movie and returned in a different movie a year later.

[@HopePrevails4Life]

This entire video aged like milk in the sun!

[@isaiahc2994]

Yeah…sure..

[@stevenritchie2361]

listen, wanda brings them too much money she is NOT dead. As long as there is money to be made then wanda lives lol

[@pennywisethedancingclown2246]

Its the multiverse! Nobody's ever really dead

[@btypes7119]

Nah the whole point of this show is Billy trying to get Wanda back i bet. He is acting like he doesnt know what he is doing

[@josemv25]

Everybody likes her. She'll be back

[@TDM2895]

Still don’t believe it

[@EX0TIC_ECL1PSE]

If every hero died permanently there would be none left to show especially if its a huge popular character. Nobody will ever stay dead even in comics

[@DannyDynaWhite]

Wanda can do a lot while being "Dead" Like Deadpool says you are in this until your 90 HA

[@thesalladrelsek1730]

What if her saying she’s off the table is referring to exactly that she was taken off the sacrificial table that she was laying on in multiverse of madness? Thoughts?

[@rasalpaul4574]

Mediocre dead. What a waste.

[@MarquisTidwell]

Her arch ended horribly to me, all thet character development for her to just go insane and then die after being the villain was crap to me. The director of Multiverse of Madness didn't even watch Wandavision....I hoped she'd be resurrected somehow, but i guess thats it?! 🤦🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

[@JimTheAPE]

I did not think it was possible for one man to be so wrong. Disney does not have some amazing mind-blowing twist planned that's going to swerve everyone including those of us with knowledge outside the movies. I don't believe it for a second. Teen 100% IS Billy, There is no other explanation that makes any sense in universe for his existence or his importance to what could loosely be called the plot of the show. He kicked this whole thing off by breaking Agatha out of wanda's spell. Gee, I wonder if his ability to do that might have something to do with some relation he might have to wanda. He knows about the witches road and he needs a coven to help him reach the end of it to get his wish. Not for power for himself, I suspect, but to bring mommy dearest back into the land of the living. Also, the line about the cooking could be a reference to how Vision has been shown to cook for wanda, or it could just be a lie. Keep in mind that with the "sigil", every time he tries to talk about who he is, he gets supernaturally censored. Oh, and wanda's character arc was trash and I'm insulted that anyone would dare compare it to that of Steve Rogers. She got absolutely character assassinated in wanda vision and then it was made even worse in Doctor Strange MOM. She went from being a sympathetic hench villain in Age of Ultron to an ally to The Avengers and a likeable hero in Infinity war and Endgame, but then those two most recent appearances made her a bigger villain than Thanos. I may not believe for a second that she's staying dead, but after what they've done to her character, I kinda wish she would.

[@brendantasker]

I agree with the Billy side of things, its 100% Billy. No questions askes, i'm fully convinced I also half agree with your Wanda statement and I'll say i completely respect your take, but i think Wanda's arc was massacred in Dr Strange 2, she had a near perfect bow tie ending after Wandavision as that show was all about her dealing with her grief and accepting "yeah i did some bad things, i accept that and realize that, it wont make them forgive me nor the world, I'm going to go into refuge for a bit and work on myself" that's what i got out of wandavision and it's post credit scene. Dr Strange 2 completely ruined this though, you could argue that she was a villain in Wandavision, took an entire town hostage and i think she also might've killed Mr Hart but that's just a theory. But yeah in Multiverse of Madness she's just a cold blooded killer and completely out of character because the writers/directors didn't read the scripts from wandavision at the time since it hadn't aired. Also Elizibeth Olsen said how she wasn't super satisfied with Wanda's treatment in that movie and she literally wants to come back if it's written well and uses her character respectfully. I would personally like her return not just because i'm a fan of her character and arc but because i want marvel to at least give her a proper ending and not just make her a cold blooded killer and then crush her with mere rocks (which lets be honest she could've teleported. Anyway this guy kind of annoyed me with his takes and i agree he could not be more wrong and uneducated about the characters history and such.

[@MavethTheReaper]

I don't think this ages well, your theory in all respect to her kids especially Wiccan John I feel is off, did Vision disappear yes, but we're not entirely sure what happened to her kids as it was offscreen, also why did we hear her kids scream to her at the end of WandaVision while she studied the darkhold, Lizzie also says that when they made multiverse of madness the director didn't watch WandaVision and certainly went a different route and she seemed to have issue with that, and I believe Teen is Billy/wiccan her son.

How do you think Doom becomes God? Fresh out of Ultimate Nullifiers, Doom use his space-time platform to prevent the suicide of the Scarlet Witch for his Multiversal purposes. Believe me: that’s how she comes back. Wanda “was taken off the table” for DOOMSDAY. Yes, she is truly dead. Only a perfect time machine could prevent that in the past.

[@orderofopinion3489]

That’s poop

[@juanmoretime7558]

Why? How can you redeem her after she killed a bunch of heroes? And wiped out 99% of sorcerers at the sanctuary. Makes no sense to bring her back

[@Relugus]

Chthon decides whether she lives or dies; he can easily teleport her from Wundagore to his realm as they are adjacent. My guess is she is trapped in the Flickering Realm. Wanda's story begins and ends with Chthon.

[@andrew1983]

Wanda's the hottest character in the MCU, she has to come back.

[@Leybacube]

Since they are bringing the X-men in, you could reintroduce her as a mutant, related to magneto. That is always a possibility.

[@Djblois1]

Wanda's story arch was terrible. She started as a villain. Turned into a hero with little reason. Bad things happened to her. Turned into a reluctant villian. Turned into a hero again. Turned into one of the most evil people in the MCU. This isn't a knock against Elizabeth Olsen; it was the writing.

[@RickyRozay88]

Yeah, I agree. She WAS one of the most interesting characters for sure but what they did to her in MoM to me was not great at all.

I don't think that Wanda is dead either. Unless you see a body, there is no conformation she is dead, & I also think she will be back in 1 of the episodes of Agatha that I also enjoy a lot, & will be back for secret wars. She is really OP character, plus like Elizabeth Olsen :)
