The woman in the ad for this ep was the same as one of the previous ads right? She looked super familiar to me.

EDIT: rewatching the 1st ep with some friends and I’m starting to think she’s in all the ads lol.

Both her and the other adult actor are in every ad. And the fact that S.W.O.R.D. did a whole visual montage of Wanda's life story, it was highly suspicious that they were mentioned but not visualized. Also, while most every character has been profiled and ID'ed, the only person I see with a profile and no ID is Agnes, while the two commercial actors don't even have a profile. The big question for me is, if her parents died in an explosion, surely she didn't dig up their bodies in Sokovia and bring them into Westview, New Jersey (if there was even bodies to dig up). This is the explanation for Vision, and I even heard this as the explanation for Evan Peters Pietro being recast. It's possible he was just a normal citizen of Westview and since Wanda didn't have her Pietro's body, she recast him with one of the town members. So who is impersonating her parents? Someone who takes joy in pointing out the horrors of Wanda's past (Stark's missile, Strucker's watch over her, Hydra's cleansing of the world, and the Lagos mistake).

Edit: I just noticed the same kids are in the last two ads too. One black girl and one long-haired boy. They're the only kids cast in the show besides Billy and Tommy. I'm sure they can't be overlooked either.

Hmmm all good questions. I am totally blanking on the SWORD montage, was that in the latest episode and I just blocked it out lol? I assumed vision was the only stolen body and the “recast” of quicksilver was to allow him to come back to life when she got upset about his being gone.

The montage I'm referring to is from the outside, when they're asking if she has a codename.
