It's going to be interesting to see how bold Marvel is willing to be on the topic. Wanda, Jean, Sue, all come at parenthood in different ways. Sue is clearly mama bear, and is defined in later decades by her roles as wife and mother, and yet also manages to still function solo, at times. Wanda and Jean have sort of had teenage kids appear, on the other hand, and *not* been defined, at all, by the parental aspects sort of shadily tossed at them (much as male characters like Charles and Logan have had adult kids just sort of appear, and not require any sort of 'parenting' from the narrative).
I'd be interested in seeing how the MCU embraces or avoids that 'no consequences, no responsibility, suddenly kids' trope.
