The rumor
An alleged plot leak circulating on social media claims that Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff will turn against the Avengers and kill Anthony Mackie's Captain America in the upcoming movie Avengers: Doomsday. The claim has shocked Marvel fans and sparked widespread online discussions about a potential deadly confrontation between the two characters.
The rumor caught on because it follows recent official developments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically a post-credits scene in the Disney+ series VisionQuest that shows Doctor Doom reviving Wanda Maximoff. This official tease of her return has fueled speculation about what her role in the upcoming films might be.
