The Best Scarlet Witch Easter Eggs In The MCU

Scarlet Witch has a long history in the comics, and with Wandavision, she's finally getting her turn on the center stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But even when she was more of a background player, the MCU has been dropping Easter eggs about her long history in Marvel comics.

It can sometimes take a while for Marvel Cinematic Universe characters to take on the colorful names of their comic book counterparts. For example, Rhodey was only offhandedly referred to as a "war machine" by Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, and he didn't officially assume that moniker until Iron Man 3. Wanda Maximoff, on the other hand, has never been called Scarlet Witch in any MCU film — although she did finally acquire the name in an episode of WandaVision.

Prior to that Disney+ program, the closest audiences had gotten to seeing Wanda Maximoff being called Scarlet Witch came during a small piece of dialogue in Avengers: Age of Ultron. In a scene when Tony Stark tries to calm Hulk down after he's been enraged by Wanda Maximoff's superpowers, Stark makes an early nod to Wanda's comics name.

Wanda never referred to herself as any kind of witch during her subsequent film appearances, but it seems likely that after WandaVision, she'll own her superhero alter ego — Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige promised audiences that WandaVision would see the character finally become Scarlet Witch.
