Doctor Strange 2: Finn Wolfhard suits up as Wiccan in stunning image

Fans want to see Finn Wolfhard join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and we have our first look at what he could look like as Wiccan in Doctor Strange 2.

AfterSpider-Man: No Way Home introduced the Spider-Verse through the returns of several fan-favorite actors from past Spider-Man films, all eyes have been on what Marvel is cooking up in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Although Marvel has kept fans in the dark for the most part in opting not to reveal too much about the plot of the film, we know the follow-up to 2016’s Doctor Strange will see the returns of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange, Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer, Benedict Wong as Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo and WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch.

The film is also rumored to feature the returns of fellow WandaVision characters Billy and Tommy, who seemed to be calling out to their mother in the end scene of the breakout Disney Plus original. While the characters were played by younger actors in the Disney Plus series, fans seem eager to meet the more mature versions of the character in Doctor Strange 2. 

Who is Wiccan in the Marvel Universe?

For those unfamiliar with the character, Wiccan was first introduced in 2005’s Young Avengers #1. 

In the comics, Wiccan (also known as Billy Kaplan) is the son of Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch. While his brother Tommy aka Speed possesses powers similar to his uncle Petro Maximoff aka Quicksilver, Billy’s abilities are similar to those of his mother’s making him a powerful witch with magical abilities.

While the character is still relatively new compared to other Marvel heroes, Wiccan has appeared on many teams including the Young Avengers and New Avengers. Additionally, he’s made a major impact as a prominent LGBTQ+ character in the Marvel comics.

What Finn Wolfhard could look like as Wiccan in Doctor Strange 2

As speculation continues to grow over the exact role Scarlet Witch will play in Doctor Strange 2 and what the WandaVision finale’s closing scene in which Wanda heard Billy and Tommy calling out to her will mean, fans are curious to see whether Marvel will look to introduce aged up versions of Wiccan and Speed in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Should Marvel choose to age up the characters in Doctor Strange 2 as part of a possible play to assemble the Young Avengers for a future MCU project, there seems to be a significant push from fans for Finn Wolfhard to join the MCU as the new Wiccan.

Thanks to artist cap.ironwidow, we no longer have to imagine what Wolfhard could look like in the role thanks to the artist’s rendering of Wolfhard as Wiccan.

Using the character’s comic book likeness as its inspiration, cap.ironwidow envisions Wolfhard in the role of Wiccan with a truly inspired piece of fan art that beautifully captures the likeness of the character with a comic accurate look.

Will Finn Wolfhard join the MCU in Doctor Strange 2?

Currently, Marvel has not announced any major cast additions to the Doctor Strange 2 cast and it remains unclear whether Finn Wolfhard will join the MCU as Wiccan — or any Marvel character for that matter.

However, there are rumors that Marvel has inked a deal with Wolfhard which will see him appear in an upcoming yet-to-be-revealed project. Could that role turn out to be that of Wiccan? Only time will tell, but one thing that is certain is Marvel seems set on finding a way to bring Wolfhard into the MCU one way or another.
