‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is the most recent MCU installment. The movie is seeing a huge international success breaking box office records, and entertaining fans worldwide. Much of that success can be attributed to fan service.
If you’ve seen ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ you are likely aware that the movie has seen the return of some legacy characters from previous Marvel properties, and has tons of entertaining Easter Eggs.
One of the legacy characters that returned in the movie is Jennifer Garner’s Elektra. The actress portrayed the character in ‘Daredevil’ movie released in (2003) and her own standalone movie released in 2005 ‘Elektra.’ Needless to say, the movie was a massive flop, it’s sometimes blamed for tanking not only Garner’s career but also setting back the portrayal of female superheroes in live-action media.
It’s frequently put on the “worst superhero movies list,” and we were surprised that Garner wanted to be associated with the role again. I guess ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ served as a fitting closure to her story. Garner killed in the role, and judging by her recent social media posts, she had a blast filming her scenes.
Garner shared her “morning routine” on the set of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ and showcased one interesting Easter Egg – a statue of Scarlet Witch that can be seen in one scene of the movie.
The statue looks really ominous, and Garner referred to it as Blake Lively, referencing Lady Deadpool actress and Ryan Reynolds’ wife.
The Scarlet Witch statue is likely just a fun Easter Egg and doesn’t have a deeper meaning and connection to the larger MCU, despite appearing to be the same one from ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ but fans have theorized that the statue might actually come from reality in which Scarlet Witch ruled the world with an iron fist.
Or might be a reference to a reality in which Scarlet Witch is still considered a mutant, perhaps prophesizing her return. Some went as far as to theorize that Scarlet Witch from Earth-616 is trapped in a statue so this is why TVA placed it in the Void, however, this doesn’t make a lick of sense considering that ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ takes place before ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.’
What do you think is the meaning of the statue? Let us know in the comments below!
