WandaVision has a new post-credits scene: What it means
As we await the next episode of Loki and more from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the drive to dissect, discuss and theorize about the upcoming slate of movies and TV shows is strong. Presently, WandaVision is at the heart of that furnace. A slight alteration to the post-credits scene in the finale on Disney Plus, brought to the attention of Reddit and Twitter over the weekend, means there are now healthier looking trees at the lake outside Wanda's cabin and -- wait for it -- a seemingly blurred out object that could be Doctor Strange himself.
Let's discuss what it all means -- and whether it means anything at all -- below.
What's the new post-credits scene?
At the end of the nine episodes of WandaVision, Wanda goes into hiding, holing up in a cabin where she studies the Darkhold, aka a magical textbook.
In what has become a spot-the-difference game, the most recent version of the finale on Disney Plus now has a few alterations, brought to our attention over three months since the finale was first released at the beginning of March.
For starters, there are now a greater number of slightly healthier trees at the foot of the mountain scape, as you can see in the second image below.
Aside from that solid detail, the most intriguing and divisive inclusion is a blurred-out object that sails down the mountainside, toward Wanda's cabin.
See the clip below.
Is it Doctor Strange?
There's a precedent for why this seemingly CGI'd figure could be Doctor Strange.
The character, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, was originally slated to appear in WandaVision to tie into the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, currently scheduled for a March release next year. Elizabeth Olsen will reprise her role as Wanda Maximoff for the sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange.
However, the Sorcerer Supreme was pulled from the Disney Plus series because, according to Marvel chief Kevin Feige, "it would have taken away from Wanda. We didn't want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie -- here's the white guy, 'Let me show you how power works.'"
Is Doctor Strange, in his astral form, joining Wanda? Some have pointed out that the silhouette looks like Doctor Strange flying in his usual standing position.
Is it Doctor Strange though?
Many are skeptical.
One argument says that the object is a glitch. "Is it not just the shadow of the helicopter being badly blurred out?" one wrote on Reddit.
Wrote another: "It stays in the exact same spot on the screen through the whole shot until the house over laps it... the whole time its [sic] in the same location within the frame."
"Possibly a reflection or something they wanted to remove," says one more.
Finally: "It looks like there's something on the lens of the camera. Like a water droplet."
Why the change, then?
You can take a cynical approach to this "Easter egg."
Possibly, this was an edit made after the episode's first release simply to make the trees look nicer. The strange silhouette wasn't supposed to be included.
However, if it was a deliberate piece of information, then it adds fuel to Marvel's raging theory fire, which has been flaring now and again over the currently streaming Loki series.
It gives fans something to debate for a year, while waiting for the Doctor Strange sequel. It's hope in the form of a possible CGI mistake.
"People are flipping out over this weird ass shadow at the end of #WandaVision because of a TikTok and this is perfect for Disney, who can just say nothing and we will all debate it endlessly for a year," tweeted CNET's Jackson Ryan.

After five episodes of the latest Marvel series on Disney Plus, the finale is here. Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston as everyone's favorite god of mischief, premiered on June 9, and a new episode has been keeping us entertained every Wednesday.
That weekly release date was mischievously two days earlier than previously expected, claiming the Wednesday spot instead of Friday, like the other Marvel Disney Plus series. Six episodes make up Loki's first season, with runtimes of 40 to 50 minutes. A second season is already in development.

What's Loki about?
The series addresses a timey-wimey issue raised in Avengers: Endgame, when an alternate version of Loki steals the Tesseract and creates a new timeline. Loki ends up in the exquisitely designed organization known as the Time Variance Authority, where the Time Keepers, including Owen Wilson's Mobius, enlist his help in sorting out the mess he's left behind.
Rounding out the cast are more members of the Time Variance Authority, including Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Renslayer and Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15. Sasha Lane, Richard E. Grant, Sophia Di Martino and Erika Coleman also have roles.
How to watch Loki on Disney Plus
To watch the Loki series, you'll need a subscription to Disney Plus. This costs $8 per month, which is cheaper than Netflix, ad-free Hulu and HBO Max. A few features include no ads, mobile downloads, 4K and HDR. You can get up to four streams and premiere access to new movies like Cruella, although this will cost you an extra $30 on top of the subscription fee. Disney Plus is a hub for Star Wars and Marvel, including upcoming new TV series, like Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel. If you're still tossing up whether to subscribe, check out our in-depth review here.
The latest teaser
At this point Marvel has probably given us more trailers than there are episodes. The teasers have until recently been rolling in daily, titled Tick, Chance, Team, Path and Escape. The latest include a midseason sneak peak and a tiny promo titled Change.
What to watch in the meantime
Almost as if this was planned to perfection, Star Wars: The Bad Batch hit Disney Plus on May 4. In other words, another big franchise show has arrived to help bridge the gap between The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki. Here's the full release schedule, with new episodes arriving every Friday.
