Elizabeth Olsen Claims She ‘Knows Nothing’ About Her Future as the Scarlet Witch in the MCU

<p>If there’s one thing that <a href="https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/marvel/">Marvel</a> fans can agree on, it’s that Elizabeth Olsen should return as the Scarlet Witch following her <a href="https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/doctor-strange-2-tom-cruise-didnt-appear-iron-man.html/">appearance in <em>Doctor Strange 2</em></a>. The Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero/villain became a fan favorite following her run in the first Marvel Disney+ series, <em>WandaVision</em>. And many are itching at the possibility of seeing Wanda Maximoff on their screens again.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-custom-image-1200"><img src="https://www.cheatsheet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Elizabeth-Olsen-Scarlet-Witch.jpg?w=1200&h=800" alt="Elizabeth Olsen, who plays the Scarlet Witch in the MCU, wears a black suit." class="wp-image-3071971" /><figcaption>Elizabeth Olsen | Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic</figcaption></figure> <h2 id="h-elizabeth-olsen-as-the-scarlet-witch-seemingly-died-in-doctor-strange-2">Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch seemingly died in ‘Doctor Strange 2’</h2> <p><em>Doctor Strange 2</em> made quick work of revealing that Elizabeth Olsen’s <a href="https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/doctor-strange-2-writer-explains-scarlet-witch-became-villain.html/">Scarlet Witch was the film’s villain</a>. After being corrupted by the Darkhold, which fans saw her reading during a <em>WandaVision</em> post-credits scene, Wanda made it her mission to find her twin boys in another universe. Unfortunately, that would come at the cost of many lives.</p> <p>The Scarlet Witch went on a rampage trying to track down America Chavez to steal her power to travel freely among the multiverse. And Doctor Strange made it his mission to protect America, which put him at odds with Wanda.</p> <p>After killing many people, including the Illuminati on Earth-838, America got Wanda to see the error in her ways. America showed her how terrified the Tommy and Billy of Earth-838 were of her. As a result, the Scarlet Witch destroyed every copy of the Darkhold in the multiverse to ensure that no one would feel its dark pull again. And during the chaos, she brought down Mount Wundagore, seemingly killing herself.</p> <p>However, fans never saw the Scarlet Witch’s body, igniting the hope that Elizabeth Olsen would play the MCU character again.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"It's really fun playing bad" – Elizabeth Olsen.
