We still have lots of questions about Wanda Maximoff’s true intentions in WandaVision… But Monica Rambeau has become a big mystery recently.
Since she was kicked out of The Hex in Episode 3, Teyonah Parris’ SWORD agent has been a total enigma: her post-Hex X-rays (Hex rays?) Came back blank, she very cells have changed as a result of her time in Westview, and she is talking to an aerospace engineer who has not yet seen it that could help her return to the mind-controlled city, which Monica seems eager to try.
“In my opinion, she wants to go back [into The Hex] because she realizes that while Wanda is resolving her pain, she too It is really holding a city hostage, ”Parris explains to TVLine with a laugh. “There is the level of ‘I understand what you’re trying to deal with’, but also, ‘You are not allowed to do it is. ‘We are going to watch Monica resolve their dichotomy. How do you help and know someone is doing something they shouldn’t be, but still empathize with what they’re doing? “
In front of WandaVisionseventh episode (launching Friday at Disney +), many of our current questions about Monica are topics that Parris can not tease explicitly. She is unable to offer any hints about the identity of Monica’s engineer friend (even with abundant fan theories), and she is equally silent about whether Monica and Jimmy Woo were safely out of The Hex while Wanda expanded it in Episode 6 (“My mom asked me the same thing too,” reveals Parris, when asked if Monica and Jimmy ran away in a SWORD vehicle fast enough. “I will say I must no to say.”)
But Parris can explain why Monica defended Wanda so fervently in recent episodes, despite the pain that Wanda caused her in Westview: The two women are connected by the loss, she says.
“Not only [Monica’s mother] pass, but Monica was not there to help her mother’s transition. And this is a very difficult pill to swallow ”, says the actress. “Guilt, shame and any other pain she may be trying to resolve, while returning to work on a project she doesn’t even normally do – there we are parallels between Monica’s pain, trauma and tragedy, as well as what Wanda is going through. Monica connects with Wanda at that level. “
Meanwhile, Monica’s bond with Carol Danvers also known as Captain Marvel – formed when Monica was a child – seems to have diminished in some way, given Monica’s cold and recent reaction to Captain Marvel’s name. With Parris confirmed to appear at MCU’s Captain Marvel 2 film, she suggests that “we have a lot of real estate and time to play with Carol and Monica’s relationships”.
As for whether WandaVision Will offer none For further explanation of Monica and Carol’s apparent feud before the show ends, Parris will only provoke: “There is still a lot more to be told” in the remaining three episodes of the series.
