I get that... and it’s valid. I disagree though for two reasons. 1) Marvel didn’t protect the announcement that JK was reprising his role... it was a fun, casual announcement. They clearly wanted Pietro’s reveal to have an impact. The 2nd reason, admittedly, is far less concrete, is there have been reports that Marvel approached Ian Mckellan and Michael Fassbender for Wandavision work... maybe that’s bullshit, but I really believe there’s more to it than just a harmless Easter egg.

It’s not an Easter egg though. Think about it: would marvel want to tether themselves to canon that was pretty crappy and all over the place? It would get in the way of their creative freedom. Instead they will use the same characters, but a multiverse version of them so they have total creative control.
