Marvel"s Rumored Mephisto Movie Can Validate WandaVision Fan Theories
Certain infamous WandaVision theories regarding Mephisto may not be as far-fetched as they once seemed. As the first Disney+ project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the first entry in the Multiverse Saga, WandaVision was the subject of many rumors and theories upon its release in 2021, many of which contended that the devil Mephisto was the villain behind Wanda Maximoff's pain. While WandaVision came and went without an appearance from Mephisto, recent news about upcoming Phase 5 projects suggests that the theories about the so-called Lord of Evil may have been correct after all, forever altering the way Wanda Maximoff's Phase 4 arc will be viewed.
New MCU rumors suggest that Sacha Baron Cohen has been cast as Mephisto for the upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart and his own Special Presentation. While Marvel Studios has yet to confirm this casting, Mephisto fits perfectly into the show's reported exploration of magic and science. Moreover, even before his live-action debut, further rumors contend that Mephisto could make an appearance in multiple other Phase 5 projects, including Agatha: Coven of Chaos, starring WandaVision's Kathryn Hahn, and in his own Special Presentation for Disney+. If these rumors prove true, Mephisto may be poised to become one of the MCU's most important characters for years to come.
