You really can't get more shocking than an X-Men from the Fox universe.

Yes, but the name WandaVision would not work for something that is not rooted in television and its history
If there is a sequel, it would be renamed almost assuredly if they don't return to the sitcom concept (which I am fairly certain they won't).
The only other obvious cameo isn't gonna be that shocking if it happens (Strange)
Random thought: a lot of speculation about Agness being evil hinges on the fact that she is trying to make Wanda comfortable in Westville, but let's say she is Agatha Harkness; maybe from her point of view, the world is safest with Wanda hijacking just one town instead of spiraling out of control.
Let's say she helped Wanda create the sitcom, despite the thousands of hostages, that might have been the best solution as opposed to a rampaging angry Scarlet Witch.

Yeah I'm fully expecting that, at the very least in a post-credits scene after the finale.
I disagree. There's one cameo that would break the internet, but there's literally no reason to do it other than just for the hell of it. And if we're doing the whole Luke moment comparison, the Luke of the MCU is RDJ. But that would be dumb.
RDJ would be cool to see but we literally saw him 2 movies ago, him showing up as a vision or something isn't really shocking.
This Quicksilver appearances isn't just a cool cameo, it completely changes the MCU as we know it.
I think Sentinel will come from IronMan tech. Remember in IronMan 1 when Stane want to make mini arc reactor to replicate IronMan suit and his scientist say he couldnt do it? Well, if you can't make small Arc Reactor to fit into human sized suit. Let's make a giant robot powered by the huge Arc Reactor.
Pictured: "Ralph"
The real reason he wanted Spider-Man and Mary Jane's marriage.
I thought the devil was supposed to be hotPictured: "Ralph"
I love the scene in episode 5 where Vision goes to the office and just ignores almost all of the tired sitcom jokes that Norm is spouting, he just seems so over the entire Westview experience at this point. How Vision's character is going to progress is something I'm looking forward to seeing.
So i watched the first 2 episodes when they came out, but I wasn't really feeling the whole "sitcom" hook. Does this get any better?
I don't understand this reference, but you posted an Amingo gif, so I approve.What if the cameo is...
Yes, because the hook was never to just be a sitcom pastiche. The sitcom framing is part of the characterization.
There is stuff outside the sitcom framing and it collides more and more with the sitcom stuff the further into the series you get.
It reveals more of its cracks in the following two episodes, so please check them out :D
Episode 4 changes completely in its structure.
Because Paul Bettany mentioned some great scenes of his near the end of the show with an actor he's always wanted to work with and has admired and no one can really see anyway that is Evan Peters.
Current bets are Richard E. Grant (who is playing someone in the Loki show but could be introduced here) and since the Quicksilver thing some people seem to think it's going to be either Sir Patrick Stewart or Sir Ian McKellen.
Could it be Evan Peters? Sure, but I think it's someone else.
First two episodes didn't do much justice for what's been going on now. Continue watching it please.
I just assumed Bettany was talking about Cumberbatch. Can't remember if they had any scenes together before.

He worked with McKellen before (I'd have to look up the movie, tho)
Every combo of British actor has worked together either through a play, tv show, movie or Harry Potter film.
If you don't like it by the end of Episode 4 you won't like it at all.
Get out of this thread now, you are going to get massively spoiled
Yes, it gets very good, don't get spoiled here
A Youtuber I've been following for episode/easter egg breakdowns (The New Rockstars) has speculated a few times about Ian McKellen showing up as Magneto, and I can't possibly see how or why they would do that. If the X-Men are really several years away in the MCU, it would make zero sense to have McKellen show up right now as Magneto, since the part would almost certainly have to be recast when it comes time to bring in the Mutants. (And I don't for a second believe that they're going to leave Magneto out of the MCU X-Men movies.)
IF they brought Magneto in now, (And that's a mad-sized IF,) they would certainly want to cast an actor to play him that could be around for a while.
Now, could they do it? Sure. Multiverse handwave yadda yadda yadda. But I don't see why they would.
The ending of the last episode made me rewatch the quicksilver scenes from x-men apocalypse and made me think he has more story to tell. I think Marvel Studios wants to continue his story... especially his relationship to Magneto since he responds to Storm about how may tell Magneto about his parentage 'some day'... I haven't seen Dark Phoenix so I don't know if his storyline was expanded there or not. WandaVision may be the perfect opportunity to develop that storyline.
I don't know what he said but I've been thinking Xavier would make the most sense
Paul Bettany was in Infinity War with Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan, who were in Captain America 1 with Jenna Coleman, who was in Doctor Who with Richard E. Grant.
He still will mostly recast, I'm sure. There might be one or two multiverse holdovers but you're not gonna see an 81-year-old as the primary Magneto in the MCU in 2021. I love Ian and I think he's a wonderful actor but we won't even see an X-Men movie for four or five years.
Feige is Thanos and maybe Xmen is his OG vision. We will see every existing character becoming a villain and the Xmen killing them off to turn MCU into Mutant Cinematic Universe. Then Feige will retire to become a farmer.
They should also change Magneto's origin. Instead of WW2, they could say he's from the former Yugoslavia and lost his family during the Yugoslav War without knowing that his children survived and were adopted to a family in Sokovia.
We've talked about this so many times. A lot of people, myself included, feel its important to keep his Jewish heritage and the Holocaust, especially in current times.
He has had multiple talks with Fiege on how to bring Professor X back
If Hugh Jackman shows up the Internet is going to "oooo yea brother" Hulk Hogan tear their shirt off and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.
Understandable, but how can they keep the holocaust aspect without him being 90+ when he debuts? A parallel world where WW2 only happened 30-40 years ago?
My friends. There will be no Sentinels, no mutants, no Fantastic Four, etc.
You are reading way too far into it.
At best we are going to get Mephisto or Nightmare and hints at a multiverse to set up the second Doctor Strange movie.
As an added possibility we might get Vision back.

No one would bat an eye if they suddenly just made it so that his powers enable him to age slower. You could even apply that to mutants in general.
