more than its fair share of action and drama

Before Wanda’s departure, the Westview locals all stand around her, staring at her as an outcast. This could indicate the start of the MCU public harboring anti-mutant feelings going forward into Phase 4.
MUTINY AGAINST THE MUTANTS, AS USUAL
WandaVision
In both Marvel Comics and the Fox-produced
X-Men
movies, large portions of the world’s population aren’t shy about sharing their dislike of mutants and the mutant gene. There are even a number of events that people have used to try to eliminate them altogether.
The mutants from Marvel Comics haven’t yet been introduced into the MCU after the Fox/Disney merger, but they are now in early development thanks to reports of
Marvel CCO Kevin Feige producing
The Mutants
for release in the near future

Wanda herself is classically shown as a mutant in the comics, but due to the X-Men’s rights being in Fox’s possession for years, Marvel Studios couldn’t technically take the story in that direction upon her arrival in
Avengers: Age of Ultron
. Whether this is a retcon into a new path is a mystery, but after everything that happened in Westview, it’s clear that there will be a revived round of resentment toward the red heroine.
WandaVision
ended with Wanda completely on her own in an undisclosed location, studying the Darkhold and honing her magic skills to new levels. While there is still likely over a year until the Scarlet Witch returns in
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
, she will clearly play a key role in the MCU as the story progresses the next few years.
The full season of
WandaVision
is now available to stream on Disney+.
