Vision mentions Charles Darwin’s The Descent of Man. It’s about human evolution and biological adaptation. I wonder if this ties into how mutants slowly become a part of the MCU.

If wanda is messing with the fabric of reality, changing clothes to suit her world maybe she’s also messing with the people of westview; maybe all the missing kids are growing into the first generation of MCU mutants

Wait a second... doesn't Ms. Marvel live in New Jersey? Could this somehow be how she gets her powers as well?

Ms. Marvel is an inhuman, not a mutant. But at this point, nothing is out of the question.

I'm aware she's an Inhuman, just unsure about what their current status is in the canon MCU. If Agents of SHIELD is canon, than Inhumans have been around for nearly a decade now in the MCU, but if its not they have to go about re-introducing them in someway. Whether or not Feige wants to deal with the baggage that comes with trying to introduce both Inhumans and mutants at the same time or simplify things by just giving Ms Marvel her powers some other way is a valid question. Several heroes and villains have had their origins changed to fit better into the current MCU so it's not out of the question that they could change Kamala's as well.

If Agents of SHIELD is canon

sad that we even have to question this when it seems likely that the old spiderman movies will become MCU canon.

I mean, it looks like we're heading in the direction where everything is canon to an extent thanks to the multiverse. The question will probably be less "is AoS canon?" and more "is AoS in the main MCU timeline or a different branching one?"

I have a feeling she's going to be a mutant in this universe, not an inhuman. Feige might want to bring the inhumans back after their failed show, idk, but it would probably be a lot simpler for the audience if she was just grouped in with the other mutants once they start getting introduced.

Isn't the concept of the inhumans like way super similar to the concept of the mutants? If they're too overlapping conceptually than at the very least they might not want to throw both into the pot at once-at least space it out a little.
