Remember Wanda Maximoff's heroic sacrifice in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'? Well, Elizabeth Olsen, the actor behind the beloved character, just hinted that we may not have seen the last of Wanda.
"Everything's constantly adjusting for me" - Olsen on Her MCU Journey
In an interview with Collider, Elizabeth shared that her Marvel contract keeps changing. She stated, "I sign extensions every time they want me to do a movie." As for her character's fate, she played coy, saying she doesn't see this as the end but isn't sure "in what capacity I'll be back."
"I want it to matter" - Olsen's Thoughts on Wanda's Potential Return
Elizabeth gave a spark of hope to fans yearning for more of Wanda's story when she added, "I know I want it to matter. There's no reason to continue to tell these stories unless they're really strong, good stories, and that they're adding something to the entirety of the MCU."
While 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' sees Wanda Maximoff—also known as the Scarlet Witch—realizing her wrongs and making a massive sacrifice, it looks like she might return to the MCU's tapestry yet again. Perhaps, even alongside some new allies...
"Why can't Wanda be with the X-Men too?" - Olsen on Future Collaborations
When asked about the possibility of Wanda being a part of the X-Men franchise, given her connection in the comics, Olsen eagerly responded, "Yeah. Why can't Wanda be with the X-Men too?" However, she clarified that she'll be there "if there's a great idea."
With Marvel's future projects already stacked and no clear film for a cameo, it might be a while before we see Olsen's Wanda Maximoff gracing the screen again. Still, her eagerness to continue with the character provides a glimmer of hope.
The 'Doctor Strange' sequel starred Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange and Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch. Sam Raimi directed the film from a script by Michael Waldron.
While the future of Wanda Maximoff in the MCU hangs in the balance, one thing is for sure – Elizabeth Olsen's impactful portrayal of the character has left an indelible mark on audiences worldwide.
