'WandaVision' Episode 6 Preview: Is Pietro Maximoff actually Loki? Series may set up Kang the Conqueror's entry
'WandaVision' has paved way for multiple speculations with every episode, and ahead of the sixth chapter of the hit Marvel miniseries, there are speculations rife the series will offer more than what fans expected. While the Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen-starrer is said to connect 'Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness', there are also theories that will connect to 'Loki', the upcoming Disney+ series, and the Ant-Man sequel, 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.'
A Reddit theory picked out by Inverse suggests that Pietro Maximoff is actually Loki and he's at Westview to make a deal with Wanda. Reason: Loki is stuck solving crimes for the Time Variance Authority and makes an attempt to contact Wanda to seek her help. Here's a look at the speculation: "After a decade of imprisonment/ employment in the TVA fixing timelines, Loki finally figures out a way to free himself. Loki enters Westview and manipulates Wanda offering her the one thing that she desires, A Mind stone from another timeline. With a new Mind Stone, she could resurrect Vision."
"In return, all Loki asks that she frees him. Once free, Loki promptly burns the TVA “to the ground.” With the TVA destroyed, the Multiverse is unpoliced and quickly falls into madness, opening the doors for Kang to enter the world."

Possibility?
While the speculation does sound pretty wild, there is a fair bit of sense as Loki has enough knowledge about the Infinity Stones and the simplest thing to do is actually provide her with the stone so she could get Vision back to life. She did steal his corpse to reanimate him, now the final piece would help her bring Vision back for real than just make him a character in her fake reality. Then comes the part about what it does to the multiverse in general.
The destruction of TVA might see Kang the Conqueror foray into the MCU. It was already revealed that Jonathan Majors would be playing the villain and will debut in 'Quantumania.' So Loki and 'WandaVision' could essentially connect the upcoming Paul Rudd film and Marvel's iconic baddie. For now, much of these are pure and wild speculations, and only time will tell how this pans out.
Previously, we had speculated if Mephisto was the one impersonating Pietro Maximoff. The villain first appeared in 'The Silver Surfer #3' back in December 1968. The character is based on Mephistopheles, a demon from the legend of Faust. Over the editions, Mephisto did have a connection with the Scarlet Witch and Vision. In the 1985 comic, 'The Vision and the Scarlet Witch', Wanda created her children by unknowingly using fragments of Mephisto's soul, the realization takes her down a dark road.
