As a comic book character, Wanda Maximoff has an origin story too convoluted to get into here. As a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she has an origin that can be boiled down to a simple idea: She is a child of television.
Wanda Maximoff, known to most as Scarlet Witch, is ready to settle into happily ever. She deserves it, after the events of
Avengers: Endgame. But when you’re a superhero, trouble never seems to be too far away, in Marvel’s
WandaVision.
After helping to save the world in
Endgame, Maximoff and Vision find a quiet suburb in the picture perfect town of Westview. They do their best to conceal their identities from their nosy neighbors. Eventually, they melt into their new
Ozzie and Harriet-like reality. Of course, the very threads of the world they built for themselves eventually start to unravel. So what’s a picture-perfect power couple to do? Why, save the world of course.
