Doctor Strange 2 Writer Teases Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch Return

Elizabeth Olsen could return to the MCU as Wanda Maximoff, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron suggested.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw Wanda corrupted by the Darkhold. Having adopted the nickname Scarlet Witch following the events of Wanda Visionin which her true power was revealed, Wanda embarked on a quest to claim another universe’s version of her lost children.

Ultimately, the film saw Wanda realize the error of her ways and she destroyed the secrets of the Darkhold in a moment of self-sacrifice, leaving her fate ambiguous.

Speaking to Empire, Michael Waldron hinted that Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda could return to the MCU after the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The final scenes of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw Wanda destroy Mount Wundagore, burying herself under the rubble. However, death is rarely permanent in a comic book movie, especially when there is no body in sight.

Speaking about Elizabeth Olsen’s potential future in the MCU as Wanda Maximoff, Michael Waldron said, “She’s stepping down from the board…for now? Still? We will see. I would like to see her again…”

Given Wanda’s power and the ambiguity surrounding her ultimate fate in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it seems unlikely that Marvel will leave the Scarlet Witch dead. While it’s not yet known when or how she might return, chances are Wanda will reunite with her fellow MCU heroes in time for Avengers: Kang Dynasty.

Here is the synopsis of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness:
