Mephisto rumors in the MCU
Marvel’s notorious devil’s rumor mill was in full swing during the runs of MCU shows likeWandaVisionandLoki, as speculations about the demonic Marvel villain swamped the Internet. Because Mephisto is one of the few Marvel villains terrifying enough to successfully step into Thanos’ role as a serious threat to the entire universe.
Fans analyzed those shows and their accompanying materials for potential hints concerning the villain’s purported existence in the MCU. While none of these theories came true, the king of hell’s panic was evident, albeit in the wrong direction.
WandaVisionwas the focus of the most recent Mephisto rumors. Before Agatha Harkness was shown to be manipulating Wanda’s magic to curse the little New Jersey town of West View, Mephisto appeared to be a potential contender.
Showrunner Jac Schaeffer remarked that the program never needed a villain to pull the strings from the shadows and that Wanda dealing with her grief and suffering spawned by Vision’s death was more than enough of an opponent.
Similarly, in the first episode,Lokisparked speculations about Mephisto. Mobius, played by Owen Wilson, was presented while standing beneath a stained glass window depicting a demonic person with red skin and horns.

Despite the popularity of the notion, the showrunners dismissed the devil’s allegations and stated that the stained glass image was simply an allusion to Loki himself, according to director Kate Heron.“It’s honestly just a super weird coincidence,”Heron added. “Like, it’s genuinely a reference to Loki — the horns, he was cast out of heaven, that’s what it’s a reference to.”
The devil has made various notable appearances in the Marvel comics, alongside heroes such as the Avengers, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, and Spider-Man.
