It’s not clear what Marvel has in store for the Scarlet Witch, but a rumor suggests that she could be teaming up with a major Avengers villain—Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, Wanda is expected to be a “major player” in the Avengers movies, and she’ll be sharing a lot of screentime with RDJ. Here’s the post:

Admittedly MTTSH has been wrong in the past, but the pairing of Doom and Wanda has already happened in the comics. Plus, with Doom expected to be of a scientific intellectual, a team-up with Scarlet Witch could give him a huge advantage when it comes to magic—which Doom was also proficient in when it came to the comics.

Already some are not a fan of the pairing since Wanda is supposed to be with Vision, but seeing as he’s dead and a version of him is flying around that doesn’t remember his relationship with Wanda, a short alliance with Doom could make the two a literal power couple.

Admittedly, I like when Doom is in a love triangle with Reed and Sue Storm, but they already did that in the original Fantastic Four movies, so pairing Doom with someone like Wanda could shake things up a bit romance-wise.

Avengers: Doomsday is expected to hit theatres on May 1, 2026.
