Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch returns to theMarvel Cinematic Universein an excitingAvengers: Doomsdaytheory that does not only make perfect sense for the franchise, but also explains how Wanda Maximoff is alive by using Olsen’s own ideas for her return. After becoming one of the most popular characters in the MCU through Disney+‘sWandaVision,Olsen’s Scarlet Witch had a shocking villain turn inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The film followed Wanda as she went on a multiversal rampage, killing almost everyone who stood in her way, to steal America Chavez’s powers of traveling the multiverse.
The latest event in theScarlet Witch’s MCU timelineis Wanda’s apparent death. After coming to her senses and destroying the Darkholds of every universe, Mount Wundagore collapsed on top of her. However,a blast of red energy indicated Wanda might have survived. After that, Disney+‘sAgatha All Alongdropped many hints that Wanda Maximoff might be alive after all, andfuture MCU projectscould use her sons and the Young Avengers for a Marvel Comics adaptation that is perfect for Wanda’s current situation. Based on all those elements, a newAvengers: Doomsdaytheory explains the Scarlet Witch’s MCU return.
Elizabeth Olsen Has Pitched A Story For Wanda’s MCU Return
The Scarlet Witch Could Come Back Very Differently
Olsen wants to continue playing Wanda in the MCU, and I will not oppose that. The character still has a lot of potential, and it is interesting that the actress not only knows that, but wants to be part of the creative process behind her MCU character’s future. I think that makes sense, asthe Scarlet Witch’s latest villain turn was a controversial movethat angered many fans after all she endured at the end ofWandaVision, with Olsen herself showing in many interviews that she was surprised by the direction theDoctor Strangesequel took Wanda.
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.
At the moment, not much is known aboutAvengers: Doomsday’s story. However, withAgatha All Alongteasing that the Scarlet Witch could be aliveand how Wanda is one of the MCU’s most popular characters, I have a hard time thinking she could be absent from the movie. It turns outOlsen has pitched the Scarlet Witch’s MCU return to Marvel Studios, with the actress not revealing which project it was for. However, when asked if she had time to talk to the Russo Brothers — the directors of the next two Avengers movies — about it, Olsen said, “Yeah.”
According to Olsen, her dream version of Wanda is not the most obvious path for her MCU return. That is becausethe actress would love to see Marvel pick back up with the Scarlet Witch 50 years later. The MCU’s heroes would find an older Wanda with white hair who seems more like a creature than the hero we have come to know. The actress also mentioned possible connections to the comics, how fun playing that version of Wanda would be for her, and claimed she has gone to Marvel about it, saying, “It’s something I have quite literally pitched.”
Marvel Comics’ Children’s Crusade Explained
It is no surprise that the MCU has been making moves towards the debut of the Young Avengers throughout the Multiverse Saga. The franchise has introduced several young heroes in the past few years, andThe Marvels’ post-credits scene showed Kamala Khan recruiting Kate Bishop for her new team, which will also include Cassie Lang, Ant-Man’s daughter, and others. With Wanda and Vision’s sons, Billy and Tommy, now back in the franchise, the timing seems perfect for the MCU to adapt the Children’s Crusade storyline from the comics, connecting the Young Avengers to the Scarlet Witch’s MCU return.
The Children’s Crusade storyline has long been rumored to be the one Marvel Studios will use for the Young Avengers’ MCU debut. In the comic book story, the young team of heroes sets out to find the Scarlet Witch after she has been presumed dead, with her son, Billy, who is played in the MCU by Joe Locke, leading the charge.They end up finding Wanda, who is alive and has been living happily with Doctor Doom. The timing of the MCU’s events related to the Scarlet Witch’s “death,” the Young Avengers' introduction, and Doctor Doom’s upcoming debut is interesting.
Avengers: Doomsday Theory Has Doctor Doom Rescuing The Scarlet Witch
Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch Pitch Can Perfectly Fit Into Doctor Doom’s MCU Debut
Olsen’s idea of how the Scarlet Witch could return to the MCU is interesting, and I believe thatAvengers: Doomsdaycould use it, though with a few tweaks. Instead of taking place 50 years in the future, Wanda Maximoff’s MCU return could happen in the present day. At the end ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,the Scarlet Witch uses all her power to destroy the Darkholds of every universe. TheAvengers: Doomsdaytheory claims she would have been left depleted after the fact, retreating to build up her strength again, which was the red flash of light.

Taking a page from the Children’s Crusade story from Marvel Comics, Doctor Doom and the Scarlet Witch could cross paths. As the main villain of the Multiverse Saga, Doom would have great use for a character with as much power and multiverse knowledge as the Scarlet Witch.He could find Wanda upon arriving at Earth-616 and take care of her. This allows Wanda and Victor von Doom to grow close and eventually enter a relationship. Now in love and having gone from a weakened state, looking old like Olsen pitched, to back at full strength, Wanda teams up with Doom.

If Wanda comes back inAvengers: Doomsday, the Vision series could have her reunite with her old flame while also meeting Ultron again after she worked for him inAvengers: Age of Ultron.
