![]() We don't assume Agatha had to fight the Runaways to get her hands on it. The MCU proper is doing its own thing with it. At least it's not in the case of the Darkhold. Now that we know it is the Darkhold, it's pretty clear that the Marvel Studios' produced shows in the MCU, of which WandaVision is the first out of the gate, is not using or acknowledging the shows made by Marvel Television (before that division was shuttered). Also, and maybe more important, the book didn't look like that Darkhold from those shows. At first we assumed Agatha's book wasn't the Darkhold because both Agents of SHIELD and Runaways, supposed "MCU" shows (well, Agents of SHIELD very much was for a few seasons), used that book in big ways for major storylines. Theory: The Darkhold Is Not the Same Darkhold from Agents of SHIELD and RunawaysOkay, this isn't so much of a hard theory as it is a deflated revelation. ![]() Given Cliff's connection to SHIELD and Nick Fury in the comics, this could have been a fun throwaway that hints at Monica's cosmic destiny with Fury, off Earth. He didn't have to say a name at all, right? So with that in mind, maybe Cliff is, or was at least a nod to, Cliff Randall - an alien sleeper agent who, in the comics, was hiding among humans from an extraterrestrial race called the Collective Intelligence. Theory: Jimmy Woo's "Cliff" is Cliff RandallOn a show where every name drop gets hyper-analyzed - and we still don't know who Monica's "my guy" engineer is or who Jimmy's WITSEC contact was in Westview - it's notable that Jimmy calls "Cliff" for FBI backup. ![]() ![]() Because both of them are super into stealing sorcery from other magic-wielders. And since Agatha's only trapped now, and not taken off the game board, it would make sense for these two to collaborate and collude. That sounds a lot like where Mordo's head was at by the end of the first Doctor Strange movie. We knew she was a power leech, but not specifically that she deemed others unworthy. So it's interesting to note that, specifically in the WandaVision finale, Agatha mentioned that she took magic from those who didn't deserve it. We do know, though, that the Strange franchise isn't going to leave Mordo on the table and the dejected, magic-hating sorcerer (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) will be back for more in Strange 2. What role will Wanda play in the Strange sequel? We don't know. Be sure to drop your own take on WandaVision in the comments and don't forget to vote in our poll at the bottom of the page! Theory: Agatha and Mordo Will Team UpThough it's possible she may appear in the MCU sooner, the next confirmed Wanda sighting will be in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which will follow Spider-Man: No Way Home, a movie that will reportedly involve the multiverse. Read on further for a few of the "office" theories currently being floated at IGN about all the goings-on in "The Series Finale." Take these with several grains of salt as they're meant to be nothing more than friendly, excited chatter on the WandaVision Slack channel about a show we enjoy and all the places it makes our brains go. Yes, the being who's supposed to "destroy the world" is homeschooling herself. But just when it seems like everything may have been wrapped up fairly neatly (aside from Wanda's crushing loss from having to tear down the love she'd created for herself), we're shown a very active Scarlet Witch in an astral projection cram session with the Darkhold. Hayward was arrested, Jimmy looks to be in line for a promotion, and Monica's being called away - far, far away - by Nick Fury. "The Series Finale" saw Wanda defeat magic parasite Agatha with some billboard-sized runes, transform into the Scarlet Witch, and then shuffle off before authorities could have any real say on the matter. The citizens of Westview are safe (and pissed/traumatized), Agatha Harkness is trapped inside her own "Okie Dokie, Artichokie" sitcom hell, Ralph Bohner is probably watching a Steven Seagal marathon, and Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch herself, is in sad seclusion after losing her entire Hex family in one sacrificial swoop. Yes, the curtain's now closed on WandaVision.
