Marvel fans have been anxiously anticipating any tangible news about the resurrection of Scarlet Witch, yet Elizabeth Olsen is keeping it very vague. As rumors keep flying about ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’, the actress is not providing any confirmation.
However, her words indicate that the door is not closed yet.
Scarlet Witch’s MCU Future Remains Unclear
Elizabeth Olsen transformed the Scarlet Witch into one of the most complicated characters of the MCU. That trip was taken to new levels in ‘WandaVision’, where Wanda’s strength came into a very personal narrative. Her appearance in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’, however, split audiences, with her becoming a tragic villain.

Olsen, who recently appeared at a fan convention, clarified that she really has no answers, at least not on record. When she was asked about future Avengers movies, she replied, “I don’t know nothing about any of it.” That could be disappointing to fans who wanted good news. However, it also fits with the secrecy that Marvel is known for.
Still, Olsen did not sound dismissive. On the contrary, she demonstrated the extent to which she cares about Wanda as a character. She stressed that each time she has been brought back to the role, it has been for a purposeful, character-based reason, and not just a cameo. That is a minor yet significant detail: she is willing to come back, but only when the story warrants it.
Elizabeth Olsen Is Ready For Scarlet Witch’s Next Chapter
What is more interesting is what Olsen unveiled. She has been proactively discussing with Marvel what she would like to do next, demonstrating that she remains creatively interested in the future of Wanda.
Among the storylines that she cited was House of M, a popular fan-favorite comic arc that explores the reality-altering abilities of Wanda and her emotional turmoil.

She also said that she would like to reunite with Aubrey Plaza, who featured in ‘Agatha All Along’. That relationship foreshadows possible lines that Marvel can follow, particularly with the legacy of Wanda being carried on by characters like her son.
At the end of the day, Olsen’s stance is clear: she’s not ruling anything out, but she’s not chasing a return either.
