Avengers: Infinity War’s sequel doesn’t have a title yet, but, it seems to be majorly based on the comic books if a recent casting call is any indication.
The casting message mentions that a production secretly called “Mary Lou” needs two-year-old twin boys for a couple of days shooting in December. The film is being shot at Peachtree City, Georgia, about half an hour away from Atlanta.
The casting call about the twins should remind the Avengers fans, especially considering the growing chemistry between Scarlet Witch and the Vision.
The comics showed them get romantically involved and marry later. They parented twin boys. The story related to the twins is among the most befuddling narrative in the Avengers comics. Initially, it was shown that Scarlet Witch made them out of shards of Mephisto’s soul and they later merged back with the demon.
This drove Wanda Maximoff to go almost insane and ultimately led to her separation from Vision. After that Wanda experienced a nervous breakdown and she used her powers to “Disassemble” the Avengers. Her actions included killing Hawkeye and Jack of Hearts. Magneto took her away. However, Pietro convinced her to remake reality where everyone could have what their hearts’ wanted. This resulted in the House of M event.
After that, a couple of young Young Avengers called Wiccan and Speed come to believe that they are the reincarnates of Scarlett Witch’s twins and this gave birth to the maxi-series called Avengers: Children’s Crusade.
We don’t know if this is how things will turn out in the MCU, but, it won’t be ruled out. Vision and Scarlett Witch have already been shown to develop some relationship during their debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Captain America: Civil War showed a strong bond between them although, they chose opposite sides in the battle. Photos from the Set show them fighting alongside in Avengers: Infinity War which hints at a possible continuation of their relationship in the upcoming film.
However, will they go on making kids? How will all that fit into the narrative? Is it just a mirage of the future, some trick of the Infinity Gauntlet or something different?
All the answers will be tumbling out when Avengers: Infinity War will release in theaters on May 4, 2018.
