![]() ![]() To complicate things further, it is revealed that in her bones-deep desire to be a mother, Wanda’s powers unknowingly reached out to find a bit of life needed to create her babies and accidentally repurposed bits of Mephisto’s broken soul. But eventually, people begin to notice that Wanda and Vision's twins, Tommy and Billy, start to strangely disappear for short periods of time before reappearing again and it becomes clear that they are mere manifestations made unconsciously by Wanda and, when her mind wanders from them, they simply evaporate. ![]() Suffice it to say, in the source material, Wanda becomes unexpectedly pregnant thanks to her own reality-bending and magical abilities and she and her husband are overjoyed. ![]() In the comics, the story surrounding the couple’s parental journey is easily one of Marvel’s most convoluted plot lines – which is saying something. The last trailer offered a glimpse of a pregnant Wanda, but the new one shares a particularly touching image in which Vision has his hands on her protruding belly and she happily looks up at him, giggling. The fact that the potentially magical butterflies hover over the crib is also significant, as in the comics, her children Billy and Tommy are more-or-less conceived by magic and Strange himself is present at their births. If the insect is meant to be an indicator of magic, this would be huge for Wanda's power set within the MCU, since she - unlike her comic book iteration - is yet to tap into her skills as a sorceress. Additionally, Strange's first out-of-body meeting experience with the Ancient One, he pauses long enough to reach out to a single orange-winged monarch. Memorably, in Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange is shown using his sorcery to transfigure Thanos' deadly attack into a harmless swarm of butterflies. This may be another example of the show's mind-bending bizarreness, but it may also be a tiny Easter egg meant to indicate more magical implications. In a brief shot, the colorful mobile hanging over the crib of the couple's children springs to life and forms a cluster of fluttering butterflies. ![]()
