The MCU ’s answer to having Wanda and Pietro contend side - by - side with the Avengers was to establish that the twin get their power through HYDRA ’s experiments with the Tesseract . A similar thing fall out in the comics , as Marvel tried to show thatScarlet Witch and Quicksilverwere never really Magneto ’s children , something that most likely had to do with how the movies were have to neglect the X - valet . All of that is now in the past , with all of the mutants at Marvel Studios ’ electric pig .

Once the X - Men properly fall in the MCU , the fact that Wanda is n’t a mutant nor has any connection with Magneto in this existence will become even unusual . So far , the absence seizure of the mutants in the MCU made it easier for the franchise to keep bring forward Wanda ’s story as an enhanced mortal and magical being only . However , with Magneto and the rest of theX - Men mutant mayhap joining the MCUin Phase 5 , it will be unvoiced to overlook such a major variety in the setting of a character so authoritative . Even when the strip judge to retcon Wanda and Pietro ’s mutant ground , at least some connective with Magneto was still there . MCU ’s Wanda grew to become an of import primary character on her own , but it ’s going to be leftover having her narration and the X - Men / Magneto storey happening concurrently , albeit with little to no carrefour .

Despite now being able to use the X - Isle of Man , it does n’t seem like the MCU is going to backtrack on Wanda not being a variation , asWandaVisionalready presented the arrant chance to do this . The show did act with hearing ' expected value by bringingEvan Peters , who played Quicksilverin theX - Menfilms , as someone who was claiming to be Wanda ’s buddy . Peters ’ role ended up not leading to any connections with the X - Men , and the show rather focused on setting up Scarlet Witch ’s magical abilities . After the MCU already gave two unlike explanations for Scarlet Witch ’s exponent – the Mind Stone and being a link Being born with the aptitude for magic – tying her narrative with that of the mutants would n’t arrive out as natural . If anything , the MCU could at least habituate Patrick Stewart ’s Professor X inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessto acknowledge that , at least in some creation , Wanda and her brother are mutants .

There are dozens of X - Men and Scarlet Witch stories in the comics that are intrinsically linked , and that ’s something the MCU wo n’t be capable to translate to the grownup screen . By the timeMagneto and the X - Menjoin the franchise , Scarlet Witch will already be a well - established character with an extensive desktop that does n’t involve the mutants . It remains to be seen ifMCU phase angle 5can rule at least some ways to establish a connective , no matter how small it is , between theScarlet Witchand her amusing book family , the X - Men .
