Ever since the conclusion of WandaVision, fans have been wondering what is next for Wanda Maximoff since embracing her destiny as the Scarlet Witch, but with the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on the horizon, fans will get an answer soon enough. However, due to the implications of traveling through the multiverse, there are also multiple theories of how Mutants could finally enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That said, one theory believes that the issue isn't about Mutants entering the MCU, but rather Wanda reversing one of her most powerful spells from the comics.

In the event series "House of M" by Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel, Wanda Maximoff creates a new reality following a mental breakdown. In the series' final scenes, Wanda realizes she has had enough and utters the phrase, "No more Mutants," leaving only 198 Mutants in the world. According to a Reddit theory by Shrakakoom, audiences hadn't seen Mutants in the MCU because the timeline was altered early on by Wanda, erasing Mutants long before she became the Scarlet Witch. While the idea seems outlandish at first, there are some interesting realizations that help justify the theory.

According to the theory, Wanda's choice to erase Mutants from the world's memories isn't exploited, but the X-Men involved are framed as villains from Strange's POV. While they act antagonistic, they are simply fighting to bring the world back to how it was, with Mutants firmly established in the universe. For most of the journey, they are seen at odds with the film's heroes, but by the conclusion, Wanda undoes the spell and brings Mutants back to the timeline, bringing back the memories of their presence and offering a clearer look at the MCU's timeline. However, what evidence is there to add to this exciting theory?

The biggest question is, when could Wanda have used this spell? According to WandaVision, the reason that she and Pietro survived the bombing of their house was due to Wanda's hex magic. This could likely mean that her natural connection to magic is tied to her mutation. If mutants played a significant role in Sokovia or her life, it's possible she altered her reality after experiencing high emotions. This is later evidenced when she creates the Hex in WandaVision following Vision's death. As a result, the Mind Stone didn't grant her powers but awakened her mutation and showed her a magical destiny.

Thematically, the theory also adds another layer of meta-context to the Ralph Bohner switch in WandaVision. Since Evan Peters is Quicksilver in the Fox films, it's possible that the mutant version of Pietro symbolizes her knowledge of her actions, and the real Pietro, in terms of looks, has been Evan all along. There's also the understanding that she's seen as an antagonist to the world. By bringing mutants back into the world, the public's understanding of what she is could reignite anti-Mutant sentiment in the world, but bringing Mutants back into the MCU places them at a disadvantage, as humanity could once again hate and fear them.

There's no denying that establishing Mutants into the MCU is a difficult task, but thanks to Wanda's ties to the characters and impact in the comics, she could serve as the key. Considering she often crosses the line between hero and villain, she also becomes unpredictable, and it makes sense that she would make the choices she has regarding her Mutant heritage. The theory also adds the possibility of a Disney+ series that gives fans a chance to explore these new Mutants further. For now, the truth is still unknown, but there's no denying that Wanda's connections to Mutants could offer great possibilities for the future.
