Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has teased Elizabeth Olsen’s potential return as Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In 2014, Elizabeth Olsen made her first appearance as Scarlet Witch during a scene after the credits of Captain America: The Winter Soldier before making a full appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The character would go on to appear in various Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. More recently, she appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch proved to be the film’s main antagonist. By the end of the film, however, she saw the error of her ways, destroying every copy of the MCU’s evil ledger, the Darkhold, and apparently died in the process. However, studio president Kevin Feige isn’t ruling out the character’s return.
Anything can happen in the multiverse
While speaking to Variety, Kevin Feige wouldn’t say definitively whether or not Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch would return, but hoped to touch on more of her main storylines from the comics. He further stated that anything could happen as the MCU was now a multiverse:
“There really is so much more to explore. We still haven’t touched on many of its main storylines from the comics. I would work with Lizzie for another 100 years if we could. Anything is possible in the multiverse! We will have to see.
Here is the synopsis of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness:
The MCU is unlocking the multiverse and pushing its boundaries further than ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to face a mysterious new adversary.
Directed by Sam Raimi from a screenplay written by Michael Waldron, the film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stuhlbarg and Rachel McAdams.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is available now on Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD 4K Ultra HD, and is also streaming exclusively on Disney+.
