Marvel Confirms Whether Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch Is Dead (But We’re Not Buying It)
Until you see a corpse, there’s always a chance a Marvel character could come back (and even that’s not a hard-and-fast rule). With the Multiverse and all sorts of magic on the table, there are various ways Scarlet Witch could return, and we have a few ideas.
First, there’s a good chance Wanda could return in some capacity on the upcoming “Vision Quest” series. A new version of Vision (Paul Bettany) was created on “WandaVision,” and he’s set to get his own spin-off. Details are sparse on that show, although rumors suggest it could be similar to “WandaVision,” but it’s possible Vision may find a way to create a copy of Wanda to some degree. Maybe he builds a Wanda robot of sorts, with Olsen returning to play the variation. Even if Vision gets a different partner, Wanda could return in a flashback, which would probably be the simplest method to pull off a Scarlet Witch return.
Then, there’s “Avengers: Secret Wars.” This will inevitably be the Marvel Multiverse movie to end all Marvel Multiverse movies, so even if Wanda is dead and done in the main continuity, a variant could arise to partake in Battleworld. Of course, Scarlet Witch could also feasibly play a role a lot sooner if she factors into the events of “Agatha All Along.” Agatha certainly has a bone to pick with her, so maybe she’ll reach out to the afterlife to give her a piece of her mind. All of this is merely speculation, and maybe Scarlet Witch is truly done in the MCU. But where there’s a will (and money to be made), there’s a way.
