When WandaVision ended its broadcast in early 2021, it was clear to fans that one way or another the story of Wanda Maximoff would continue on the big screen at the hands of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, now that that movie has hit theaters, it's a mystery what will happen to Scarlet Witch in the future.
In fact, as Marvel Studios has not yet announced neither Doctor Strange 3 nor a second season of WandaVision, at the moment there is no clarity on where or how we could see the character again, and that is, although in Multiverse of Madness a kind of conclusion to his story, clearly this is a superhero universe where comebacks are the order of the day.
In that sense, Elizabeth Olsen, the actress who has played Wanda since that post-credits scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, assured that she still does not know the plans of Kevin Feige's company for her character.
"I think the fans generally have the best ideas and I really don't know where we go from here and what the limitations of the MCU are because I don't follow what their plans are," Olsen explained when asked about her future as Wanda in an interview with Comic book. “I feel like fans always know what the plans are, even when they're not announced yet. And therefore I don't know. I have this image. There are some images in my head, I think they are from 'Witches Road', as (Wanda) is getting older and decaying, while using her power and there is something in that, this older woman, who is getting older by her power, that interests me . And I don't really know what that means, but I'd love to be old."
"Witches Road" is an arc of the Scarlet Witch comics that Marvel published in 2015 and with the help of a script by James Robinson and drawings by Vanesa Del Rey, it followed Wanda on a mission to restore witchcraft. But although Olsen would like to bring that story to the big screen, for now nothing guarantees that his wishes will be fulfilled and obviously what happens in the future with Maximoff will depend on how Marvel Studios intends to deal with the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. which hinted at (but never confirmed) an apparent death of the character.
However, in a parallel interview with the Collider portal, Olsen remarked that she does not feel that Multiverse of Madness is the end of her story as Wanda.
“I don't think of this as the end either. I don't know in what capacity I will return," said the actress. "I don't know how to do it without...I don't want to do spoilers."
All while in a parallel interview with the Extra portal, Olsen addressed the future of his character saying that "there are a couple of different versions of what could happen at the end of this movie" and that he would like to "hear what the fans who best they know her, what they would like to see from her next.”
