Years later, in a surprise twist, Peters then returned to the world of Marvel for <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/tv\/wandavision\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WandaVision<\/a>, playing a character that was initially introduced as a fresh incarnation of Pietro, Wanda&#8217;s brother. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But Evans&#8217; return was ultimately revealed as a misdirect (albeit a pretty funny one), with his character&#8217;s name subsequently revealed to actually be Ralph Bohner (yes, really) \u2014 a fakeout that remains a contentious issue among fans.
