Avengers Endgame: It’s official – THIS hero could have defeated Thanos ALONE

Kevin Feige has confirmed that one key player in the MCU would have had no trouble taking the supervillain down – if he had not summoned his army.

For a while now, fans of Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) have been saying that she is among the most powerful superheroes in the Marvel repertoire.

The moment she has alone with Thanos on the battlefield in Avengers Endgame could easily have ended with her annihilating him – if he had not summoned reinforcements.

Feige told ComicBook.com after unveiling a Phase 5 slate that includes a WandaVision show: “Well, we got a Falcon and Winter Soldier show, we got a WandaVision show. We’re introducing Monica Rambeau in that WandaVision show…

“[Wanda] is probably near the upper echelons of power – I contend she would have taken down Thanos if he hadn’t called the [army], it was done.”

Fans don’t have too long to wait to see more of the Scarlet Witch: in addition to her own show, she’ll also be in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

Both projects promise to break the mould of Marvel storytelling and deliver end products unlike anything fans have seen before.

Of WandaVision, Olsen said at Comic Con: “We’re gonna have a lot of fun.

“We’re gonna get weird, we’re gonna go deep, we’re gonna have lots of surprises and we’re gonna finally understand Wanda Maximoff as the Scarlet Witch.”

Avengers: Endgame – now officially the highest-grossing movie of all time worldwide – is starting to get rolled-out on home video worldwide, and more nuggets about it are being revealed by the writers and directors.

Comic Book Movie quotes writer Christopher Markus addressing one scene that was in the trailers but omitted from the end product; of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow in training, and sitting out in the rain.

“Literally, you’ve missed no dialogue but there was more footage of Natasha living alone, very much like a hermit, in Avengers compound before Scott Lang showed up,” he said.

“That I found very interesting because she was training, sort of purposelessly training.

“She was gonna stay a hero no matter what, and it’s admirable, but it’s also a little bit sad, because the fight’s over.

“In the end, there was nothing that was getting across that we didn’t get from that scene where she’s talking to the holograms and she cries. But I like the sort of time it took with her.”

Avengers Endgame is out on DVD and Blu-ray on September 2, and digital download on August 19 in the UK.
