Someone has spotted something interesting in the final scene of WandaVision. And this small, weird visual quirk has sent the net off to exercise what information technology always does: speculate that there's a lot of pregnant, and wondering what information technology means for Wanda's future adventures.

An apparent change in the scene features what looks like a cloaked spectral figure floating towards Wanda's cabin, with fans suggesting that it could be attempting to ready Dr Strange ii.

You can cheque it out right now if you accept Disney Plus. Open up WandaVision episode 9, fast forward to almost 45 minutes into the episode and look in the top left corner equally the camera zooms in towards Wanda sitting outside her cabin. Yous'll notice… something, which looks very much like a transparent cloaked figure.

After checking an earlier version of this scene, I can ostend that the 'figure' isn't in that location. The original version of the scene is as well notable in that at that place are fewer trees present. And so someone has gone back and done a George Lucas, and retroactively changed the scene for one reason or another.

Only is this figure a tease of something yet to come up, or something else entirely? My guess is that Marvel fans are so desperate for a link to Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which Wanda is confirmed to have a office in, that they're seeing things that aren't there.

Upon close inspection, this 'figure' looks to me like a glitch or blotch on the camera. Because it remains completely static, never moving or irresolute size. Information technology just looks as though it'southward moving because the camera is moving. You lot tin can meet that for yourself. Encompass the 'figure' with your finger and come across if it ever actually moves out from under it. You'll find that it doesn't.

The saga of Dr Strange featuring in WandaVision is a weird one, since the Sorcerer Supreme was originally supposed to appear in the series in cameo grade. But he was later cut for various reasons, including Curiosity not wanting to take away from the fact this is Wanda'southward story.

"Some people might say, 'Oh, it would've been so cool to see Medico Strange,'" Curiosity chief Kevin Feige told Rolling Stone. "But it would accept taken away from Wanda. Nosotros didn't desire the terminate of the show to be commoditized to go to the next pic -- hither's the white guy, 'Permit me show you how power works.'"

Obviously, people wanted to see Strange, and seem to be grasping at straws to try and imagine a cameo into the serial. Fortunately, not everyone feels that way, with some pointing out that information technology does just look similar a water droplet wound up on screen.

The simply question is, why did Curiosity change this scene at all? It was perfectly fine before, and calculation actress trees into the mix does admittedly nothing. Information technology's bit similar adding Boba Fett to the first Star Wars picture show. Without an reply here, it'south difficult to definitively cascade water on this fan theory.

So while nosotros don't think Dr. Strange is there, this still looks rather strange. Perchance we'll acquire more in the future about this, or maybe it's going to be like how the Castilian credits for Loki revealed a plot point.
