We think we have a theory that would perfect explain the introduction of Doctor Doom — and it involves Wanda Maximoff. If it’s true, it would make Wanda one of the most important characters in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it would explain why it’s taken so long to see the X-Men in the MCU.

Hear us out: In our latest Marvel video, we’ll break down this wild theory and how it could impact Avengers: Doomsday. What if the MCU used to have mutants and X-Men? What if it used to have a Tony Stark and a Doctor Doom? And what if Wanda changed all that using her hex powers and a couple of words? She’s done it before — why couldn’t she do it again?
