Elizabeth Olsen recently suggested her time as the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be over, even though it’s only been three years since her last appearance. However, many fans aren’t convinced she’s gone for good. Olsen first played Wanda Maximoff, a somewhat villainous character, in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and later became a powerful hero. While her story in the Multiverse Saga ended with her becoming a frightening villain again before ultimately sacrificing herself, many viewers are still hoping to see her character return.
Elizabeth Olsen recently told The Playlist she’s very pleased with Wanda Maximoff’s story arc so far, but doesn’t know if she’ll reprise the role. When asked about returning for the Russo brothers’ planned Avengers: Doomsday film in 2026, Olsen said she’s hopeful. She enjoys playing Wanda and believes the character’s journey has been well-developed, but currently has no information about when or how she might return.
Marvel Fans Don’t Believe Elizabeth Olsen & Think Scarlet Witch Will Return
Even though Elizabeth Olsen has hinted at her character’s absence, Marvel fans are still speculating about how Scarlet Witch could return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wanda Maximoff was shown dying in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after destroying the Darkhold and its castle. However, a recent discussion on Reddit suggests Olsen’s comments to The Playlist might be a deliberate attempt to mislead. Other actors, like Andrew Garfield and Patrick Stewart, have previously denied involvement in projects before ultimately appearing in them, so Olsen could be following a similar pattern.
Elizabeth Olsen says she will not return as Scarlet Witch in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’“I want to see her return … What they’ve done with her is really great & I love the journey she’s taken”

Online fans speculate that Elizabeth Olsen will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, noting that actors typically avoid contradicting official announcements. User u/rubyschnees pointed out this standard practice, with u/LampyV2 agreeing it’s the expected response. Many believe Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is too popular after her successful role in WandaVision to be left out of future projects. One user, u/bdtechted, specifically hopes to see her reappear in the VisionQuest series, potentially alongside Paul Bettany as Vision, and other characters like Tommy and Billy Maximoff.
Even Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige hinted back in November 2024, in an interview with Omelete, that they’re eager to bring Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With her sons, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, recently being reimagined and a potential family reunion planned for the VisionQuest project, fans are hoping Wanda will rejoin them. This could pave the way for her involvement in future Avengers films, Doomsday and Secret Wars, where she might help fight against Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
