Former Game of Thrones star and new mom Sophie Turner took to her Instagram stories after the finale of WandaVision to tell her followers exactly how she felt about the MCU's first Disney Plus show. Turns out, the former X-Men star is very much a fan.
The video features only Turner talking to the camera, and she says, "WandaVision is the best show on TV, anyone can fight me about it... and I'll fight you," before taking a sip from her tea mug. It's a short clip, however, there's absolutely nothing mysterious about it and no one should feel left in the dark about how she feels about the series.
Turner herself has had some experience playing Marvel characters, though she has not made any appearances in the MCU. She of course played the lead role of X-Men character Jean Grey in 2019's X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which received some pretty abysmal reviews. She also has experience acting in one of the most popular television shows of this century so far, Game of Thrones. The series came to an end in 2019 and famously had one of the worst received final seasons in recent memory, though fans were generally pretty happy with the treatment Turner's character got.
WandaVision was the first installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4 and their first original series to debut on Disney streaming service, Disney Plus. It follows the character of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and how she is coping with the after-effects of Avengers: Endgame and the team's battle with Thanos. The series received high reviews overall and was praised for its unique format and tone, as well as its surprising twists.
Fans were especially very surprised to see Evan Peters in the role of Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver in WandaVision, as he plays the role in Fox's X-Men series and there has yet to be a crossover into the MCU. It is technically possible now, as Disney has acquired Fox and they of course also own the MCU, but it had never been confirmed or hinted at. Though it did turn out that Peters' appearance in WandaVision wasn't the great confirmation of a multiverse that fans wanted, it did kind of open the door, and suspicions continue to be raised. If Disney does decide to go that route, it could of course mean that Turner herself ends up in the MCU due to her portrayal of Jean Grey.
Fans of Turner on social media were excited to see her support for the series and many of them expressed hope that she would show up in the MCU someday. Some were even wondering if she was trying to hint at something coming up in the future with the MCU, but she's an active person on her Instagram stories in general and posts about a lot of media she likes, so this is highly unlikely. She's probably just a big fan.
WandaVision is available to stream in its entirety on Disney Plus.
