The Mad Titan is not the only villain finally arriving in Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War. He’s bringing with him a group of henchmen known in the comics but barely seen in the snippets of Infinity War we have so far: the Black Order. Here’s what you need to know going in.

Just checked and it doesn't show up on my guide, appears to be some other show. I'll check back that day and DVR it.

Elizabeth Olsen on If Scarlet Witch's Mutant Origin Will Come to Screen After Fox Acquisition

No matter who comes into the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point, X-Men or otherwise, it looks as though Scarlet Witch is sticking with her non-mutant origin story.

Marvel fans know that, in the comics, siblings Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver got their powers because they were mutants, and the children of Magneto, no less. Obviously, since the MCU couldn't use the X-Men or mutant storylines, the characters were given a different origin that revolved around the Infinity Stones.


With Disney set to purchase 21st Century Fox, Magneto and the popular X-Men stories (like House of M) would be free for Marvel Studios to use, leading fans to believe the Scarlet Witch could get the iconic origin that she's always had in the comics.

According to Elizabeth Olsen, who has played the character since the end credits scene in 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, there are no plans to alter her history.

While speaking on the podcast Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino, Olsen was asked about this very transition. She was quick to dispel any rumors that Scarlet Witch could get an alternate history in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, even if the story was accessible.

"I don't think so because we've gone so far to create a non X-Men universe backstory for my character," Olsen told Pellegrino. "And now it's the reason I'm connected to Vision, because the stone in his head is the stone that gave me my powers. So we really leap into the stones."


Unlike the origin of the character, Scarlet Witch's relationship to Vision did make the transition from the comic books. The two were often portrayed as a couple in the source material, and they've developed a strong bond ever since Vision was created in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Of course, while the X-Men acquisition won't affect Scarlet Witch, Olsen wouldn't pass up the chance to work with current Magneto actor Michael Fassbender.

"So I don't think so, however, if there were a Michael Fassbender being my daddy crossover I would say, 'Yes please,'" Olsen joked. "I would love to work with Fassbender."


Do you like the alternate backstory given to Scarlet Witch in the MCU? Or do you prefer her original, X-Men origin? Let us know what you think by dropping a line in the comment section below!

Avengers: Infinity War is set to hit theaters on April 27, followed by Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6.

Only question is how will they retcon Scarlet Witch to be a Mutant?

Like, are they going to have Magneto adopt her thus technically making Wanda his daughter?

Well, if Avengers: Infinity War does end on a cliffhanger, say Thanos does end up with all the stones and the last shot of the film is him snapping his finger....I mean you can basically re set the whole MCU after that, bring in the X-Men/F4 I mean its limitless!

Well, they could say that the infinity stone activated her X-gene. I don't know. Depends on the definition of what a mutant is in the MCU. Because Fox's definition is different to that of the comics, which has caused some debate among fans.

Plus I believe the same happened in the comics. Where her original origin story was that she was experimented on and gain powers. Only to later find out that she is the daughter of Magneto. So they would be following the comics if they do retcon it.

As far as box office results go, I think the BIGGEST twist would be if this turns out to be another Justice League situation and underperforms from everyone's estimations

I'm joking of course. I don't actually believe that to be true. If anything it'll perform just as good to that of The Force Awakens or even make the same earnings as Avatar.

I wish I had a studly body like that. ;-)

In all seriousness, lol, no. I'm too OCD to ever get tattoos.
