New Years resolutions for 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe characters

Wanda: Be calm
In Marvel Comics, Wanda has had a problem with controlling her powers. When she gets emotional, her abilities become unpredictable. So far, in the MCU, she’s managed to keep everything in check.
However, there’s a theory doing the rounds suggesting that Vision’s death in Avengers: Infinity War drove her crazy and that she recreated him and the reality we’ve seen in the WandaVision trailer. If this is the case, then we’re in trouble because it means that she can reshape things across the universe and may not even be aware of it. Hopefully, she’ll keep it together enough to only affect a small part of the world. If not, someone will have to stop her. That’s hoping she can be defeated.
Star-Lord: Find the original Gamora
Star-Lord will have one mission in life. He wants to find Gamora. She’s the woman he loves. More than that, the Guardians of the Galaxy are a family. Without her, a piece of them is missing. They have a better chance to find her with Thor on their side. He knows about the Infinity Stones and has a knowledge of magic. This will help them along the way.
Don’t hold your breath. We may have seen the last of Gamora. Sure, it looks as if Black Widow might have survived (if the Loki trailer isn’t leading us on, that is), but both of them coming back ruins the idea of getting the soul stone. The sacrifice will no longer mean anything and take away from the moment where Thanos threw Gamora off a cliff. If we do see her, trust this writer: She’s a skrull.
Of course, there is the post-Endgame Gamora that doesn’t know anything about the Guardians. But will she remain with the crew or will we find the original Gamora? You can bet Star-Lord will want to do the latter.
