Elizabeth Olsen’sScarlet Witchhas returned in an unpredictable way that I believe shows how the character could connect toAvengers: Doomsday. Olsen has become one of Hollywood’s most prominent stars over the past decade, being part of awards circuits and becoming a fan-favorite ofMarvel Cinematic Universefans as Wanda Maximoff. Sadly,Scarlet Witch’s MCU journeywas cut short whenshe died at the end ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, there is no way she will not be back.
Many theories aboutAvengers: Doomsday’s storyhave been around how the Scarlet Witch could make her MCU return in the movie. After all,Scarlet Witch does have quite the connection to Doctor Doom in the comics, though I can’t see the MCU going for a romantic bond between Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom after the Vision romance was explored inWandaVision. After all the theories, a new reveal has come as Wanda returns in 2025, and theMCU’s upcoming Avengersmovies could reveal that the Scarlet Witch was alive all along.
Scarlet Witch’s Recent 2025 Return Explained
The MCU’s Wanda Maximoff Story Gains A Surprise New Chapter
Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is alive and has returned, but not in the way I would have expected it to happen. Instead of doing so in an MCU movie or TV show, the character came back in Marvel Comics. In “TVA (2024) #3,” the comic book series co-written by Katharyn Blair, who was a writer on Disney+‘sLoki, revealed a Scarlet Witch in Olsen’s fullDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesslook in a stasis pod at the TVA’s archives. The comic book has referenced MCU events before, and theTVA could pave the way for Wanda’s MCU future.
Wanda Is Valuable To The MCU In Many Ways
It would make sense for the TVA to be holding the MCU’s Scarlet Witch. AfterLokiseason 2, the organization is now in charge of protecting the multiverse. Given her past multiversal rampage,Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff is a danger to all universes. If the MCU’s Scarlet Witch is the same one in the TVA comic book story, or they are variants who share a similar fate, thenAvengers: Doomsdaywould have a very easy path to bringing Wanda back into the fold. I think she could be the TVA’s “break glass in case of emergency” weapon.
Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch Has Been Revealed To Be Alive By Marvel (But Not How You Think)
Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch has returned in an incredibly unexpected way that explains how she could be alive in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga.
When Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom wreaks havoc across the multiverse, the Avengers will need all the help they can get. Doom is one of Marvel Comics’ most talented magic users. As such, the MCU’s heroes would be up against a villain well-trained in magic and with vast multiverse knowledge, which makes Olsen’s Scarlet Witch the perfect character to take him down, as she also possesses the same features. Like in the comic book, the TVA could play a role inAvengers: Doomsdayby putting together a multiversal team of heroes. That is perfect forScarlet Witch’s MCU redemption journey.
