The teaser trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine has already stirred up excitement among fans. While the MCU film won’t hit theaters for a while, details are steadily trickling in.
According to the latest insider report, the movie will introduce the concept of an ‘Anchor’ to the Yggdrasil branches in the MCU, which could spell trouble for Earth-616, particularly with Scarlet Witch‘s apparent demise.
In this Ryan Reynolds-led adventure, we’ll witness the titular characters initially clashing before uniting to confront a larger threat. Expect the TVA from Loki to play a significant role, possibly assigning Deadpool a mission to save the multiverse.
Deadpool and Wolverine Theory: Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda as a Major Threat
Marvel Studios’ Deadpool and Wolverine is set to shake up the MCU, both on and off-screen. The film’s potential success could renew fans’ excitement in the franchise following some less-than-stellar projects.
Adding to the buzz, insider Daniel Richtman suggests that Deadpool will go on a multiverse-spanning adventure to tackle a big problem.
Richtman also hints at another Loki-inspired element making its way into the film: the introduction of an ‘Anchor’ to the branches of Yggdrasil.
This Anchor will be a crucial entity in the universe, and their death could trigger the collapse and disappearance of the entire Universe.
This revelation has sparked numerous theories online. One Reddit user, u/Tonycam24, speculates that Scarlet Witch might be the Anchor, and her death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness could lead to a catastrophic Incursion event.
In their theory, the Young Avengers will unite to revive Elizabeth Olsen‘s character to prevent the Incursion and save Earth-616.
The emergence of the Young Avengers, hinted at in The Marvels’ end credits scene featuring Iman Vellani‘s Ms. Marvel, suggests a growing superhero team.
However, they may face opposition from Doctor Strange, who sees Scarlet Witch’s resurrection as too risky.
