But unlike most MCU villains, Agatha actually survives the final battle.

That would pave the way for Peters to play a Quicksilver in the MCU, even if it's not the same one from the X-Men movies.Īgatha's Future in the MCUAgatha Harkness turned out to be the closest thing the series has to a main villain. Even if not, we may find out Ralph retained his speed powers after the collapse of the Hex. There's always a chance Marvel will pivot again and reveal Ralph is actually the Fox Quicksilver. Will we see more of Ralph in the MCU? Probably not, but anything is possible. Wanda (or Agatha) imbued her neighbor with the powers of her late brother, and then Agatha manipulated Ralph for her own ends. He may look like that Quicksilver, but the blue speed trail is pure MCU Quicksilver. In hindsight, the depiction of Ralph's speed powers seem to have been the telltale clue this isn't actually Fox's Quicksilver. The fact that Marvel cast Peters in the role seems to be more a red herring than a sign the boundaries between the MCU and the X-verse are breaking down.
Ralph is literally an actor, one of many Westview residents unlucky enough to be drafted into Wanda's fake reality. When Darcy said Wanda "recast" Pietro, she was right on the money. His real name is Ralph Bohner (possibly a reference to the late Andrew Koenig's Richard "Boner" Stabone from Growing Pains).
The finale reveals "Pietro" is the Ralph to whom Agnes has been alluding all along. Pietro Maximoff or Ralph Bohner?Ever since Evan Peters appeared in the final scene of Episode 5, Marvel fans have been wondering one thing - is Peters actually playing the Quicksilver from Fox's X-Men universe, or is he some sort of impostor? More to the point - is Quicksilver a harbinger of more crossovers between the MCU and the X-verse? Sadly, that doesn't appear to be the case. The question is whether White Vision can recover that lost humanity through time and experience. The physical molecules and memories are there, but the humanity is still missing. As Wanda's Vision pointed out by referencing the Ship of Theseus thought experiment, White Vision isn't truly the original Vision because he lacks the humanity and emotional complexity that defines this unique synthezoid being. This Vision is a cold, emotionless being, much like the White Vision that was introduced in Marvel's comic book universe. But as we'll probably see, regaining those memories is only part of the equation. This Vision now remembers everything up to the point where he was killed in Avengers: Infinity War.
Wanda's recreation of Vision was able to unlock the dormant memories contained within his counterpart's mind. For one thing, we know SWORD's rebuilt White Vision is still around. What Happened to White Vision?None of this is to say we won't be seeing these characters in future MCU projects. With the Hex gone, so is this echo of the original Vision and the two sons who were never fully real in the first place. Given their unnatural origins, neither Vision nor their children can exist outside of the Hex. She's able to beat Agatha at her own game and release her magical stranglehold on the residents of Westview, but she loses her entire family in the process. The Fate of Vision and Wanda's FamilyWandaVision is ultimately a show about confronting grief, and it's only fitting that Wanda's story ends on a very bittersweet note.

Here's a full breakdown of the big reveals in the finale and why those two post-credits scenes are so significant.
If the finale has you confused as to which character Evan Peters is actually playing and how all of this feeds into upcoming MCU movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Captain Marvel 2, fear not.
