This will include spoilers for the full series, and additional Marvel movies.
The WandaVision series finale has left us with more questions than answers, fan theories were disproved, we saw the fall of the hex and lost what many fans believed to be a set up for the young avengers. Though the ending may have seen a bit clear cut, with Wanda destroying the hex and going onto study magic in a faraway land, there is a lot still unclear.
The Twins
When Wanda destroyed the hex, we saw her lose not only Vision, but her two boys, Billy and Tommy. This led to an invalidation of what many Marvel fans believed to be the first of the young avengers. Billy and Tommy were supposed to be wiccan and speed, however their deaths complicate how they are going to come back to assume those roles. The end credit scene of the final episode shows Wanda seemingly making contact with her children on a separate plane. This is a clear set up for the reincarnation of the twins, hopefully something that will be explored in the Doctor Strange Sequel, where Elisabeth Olsen is already set to make an appearance.
The Missing Person
Many fans were upset that the appearance of Evan Peters’ quicksilver seemed to be a mere fan service, however many theorize that it goes beyond that. The theory that Ralph Bohner is the person Agent Woo was looking for is something fans are still debating. While many say this is not the case because of Woo’s lack of reaction to seeing him, Woo doesn’t see him at all. Once “Pietro” comes into the show, Woo is then taken off the base and does not get to comment on Ralph Bohner. In addition to this, Evan Peters’ Peter Maximoff would be a definite candidate for witness protection, being who he is. This theory, however, has holes. The headshots suggest that Ralph is a struggling actor, an idea further confirmed with bills that are overdue for the past year. If Ralph was in witness protection, he would most likely be barred from a career like acting. However, a struggling actor would not be able to afford the house Ralph has, causing more confusion. Though it is extremely unclear as to who the missing person is, it’s reasonable to assume they will play a part in the next phase.
The Vision
The duel of the two Visions is some of the most action we see in the series finale, ending rather anticlimactically. Following the actual fighting, the two engage in discussion on who “The Vision” is. Their discussion of the Ship of Theseus then led to a philosophical discussion between the two that ended with the realization that both of them are and are not The Vision. The white Vision then flies off and is seemingly defeated for the time being. Though that is the last of him we see in WandaVision, it is expected he returns once his internal conflict is resolved.
The Multiverse of Madness
One of the many successes of the series is the set up for the Doctor Strange sequel. In addition to the end credit scenes' implication of the twins being in another plane, the prophecy described the scarlet witch as someone more powerful than the sorcerer supreme. The last time we saw someone labeled the sorcerer supreme, they died. Doctor Strange is now next in line to fill that position, setting the scene for a Wanda versus Strange fight scene.
Overall, WandaVision was a perfect introduction for the universe following the loss of a majority of the original MCU characters. Not only has the series been able to set up what seems to be the premise of future films, but it was also able to bring attention to how everyone felt following the blip. Though it is safe to assume we will not be getting any more episodes of WandaVision anytime soon, with Marvel we may never know.
