I think Elizabeth Olsen is right to criticize the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s treatment of Scarlet Witch, and I hope to see those issues corrected in future releases. Avengers: Age of UltronAfter that, Wanda Maximoff gradually grew up in the Marvel Universe and had interesting connections with other characters, such as Vision, Hawkeye, Captain America, Doctor Strange, etc. After playing a touching role at the end of “Avengers 3: Infinity Saga”, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End GameI’m glad to see Olsen leading the way WandaVisionone of the best TV shows in the Marvel Universe.
WandaVision was the project that completely changed the character’s status in the MCU. Suddenly, Scarlet Witch was no longer a supporting character in the series, but a protagonist in her own right. The Disney+ series presented a fun, unique, and tragic journey that brought together many aspects of Scarlet Witch’s MCU timeline. Wanda suffered a huge heartbreak at the end of the show, and instead of continuing that story in a healthy way, the MCU made controversial decisions with the character. Unsurprisingly, Olsen was not a fan of these, and future MCU projects need to correct them.
I agree Marvel didn’t do a good job with Scarlet Witch
Doctor Strange 2: The Multiverse of Madness Could Be Different
In an interview FM 104 (pass ComicBook.com), Elizabeth Olsen revealed her dissatisfaction with the Marvel Universe’s treatment of Wanda Maximoff. According to the Scarlet Witch actress, Marvel Studios did not do the best for the character, she said:They didn’t know what to do with me for a moment!“While Olsen did not directly say her comments were about Scarlet Witch’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessThere is little doubt about this. This film is WandaVisionbut took advantage of Wanda in the worst way possible.
Scarlet Witch’s next appearance should be about healing from her personal tragedy and making amends for the events of Westview.
I agree with Olsen’s complaint, because I also think the MCU doesn’t know how to properly WandaVision Enter the next step in Wanda’s journey. Marvel ultimately chose to make Scarlet Witch the primary villain, hunting down young America Chavez throughout the multiverse, killing several characters, and even possessing multiverse variants while searching for her children. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. After a tragic journey of loss WandaVisionScarlet Witch’s next appearance should be about healing her personal tragedy and making amends for the Westview incident.
Allegedly, in early drafts of the MCU movies, Wanda was with Doctor Strange to help her out
WandaVision
And what she did.
Interestingly, this may even be Doctor Strange The sequel should have focused on the previous X-Men ’97 Program producer Beau DeMayo claims Doctor Strange 2 It is said that in the early drafts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wanda was with Doctor Strange until she was removed from the WandaVision And what she does. This character will become a mentor to America Chavez and help the young girl, Doctor Strange, and Wong defeat the villain Nightmare in the multiverse story. This makes more sense for Wanda’s journey.
I Want to See Wanda Maximoff Redeemed in the MCU
Scarlet Witch faces major changes
although Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Despite the huge damage done to Wanda’s image in the Marvel Universe, I believe the character can still be redeemed in future appearances. Despite her murderous behavior, Scarlet Witch remains one of the most popular characters in the Marvel Universe. Doctor Strange In the sequel, Wanda realizes that what she did was wrong, realizing that she scared the multiverse variants of her sons. I like that the MCU at least didn’t let Wanda completely lose herself. Olsen’s Scarlet Witch then sacrificed herself to destroy all the Darkhold books scattered across the multiverse.
After what she did Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessThe MCU needs to make the redemption of Scarlet Witch a priority. Although the character is currently dead, Agatha has alwaysThe trailer has confirmed Wanda Maximoff’s continued popularity and Olsen’s desire to return—”If there is any good way to use her” — It’s almost certain that she will appear in the next few years. According to reports, Scarlet Witch’s MCU return may happen in Paul Bettany’s Vision series, which is scheduled to be released in 2026. Regardless of when she appears, Marvel needs to work hard to make Wanda a hero again.
A Scarlet Witch solo movie could be the perfect way to bring Olsen back
Wanda Maximoff Gets the MCU Upgrade She Deserves
I’m convinced that the perfect way to bring Wanda back to life and give her a story that fits the character would be to make a Scarlet Witch movie. WandaVision It is one of the most popular series in the Marvel Universe. For me, only Loki If you take other Marvel Studios productions into account, the number is close. From her starring role in the series to Wanda as the villain, she has taken in nearly $1 billion. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessOlsen has more than proven himself capable of leading a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie and making it a success.
Convincing Olsen to return after Wanda’s rise to villain status might have taken some effort. I believe giving her a Scarlet Witch movie could have facilitated her return. It would have been Marvel’s way of showing the actress that the studio wants to do right by Wanda and put her on a higher level, especially since the mandate is to make fewer Marvel Cinematic Universe movies per year going forward. A movie entirely dedicated to Scarlet Witch also provides the best path for her transformation from villain to hero. Marvel would have more time to develop a satisfying journey.
I believe Scarlet Witch still has a lot to do in the Marvel Universe
Wanda Maximoff’s journey is far from over
The Scarlet Witch movie is just one of many projects Olsen could be involved in in the future. I’d love to see Wanda resurrected, as the character still has a ton of potential. Marvel has been developing the supernatural and magical corners of the MCU over the past few years, such as Werewolf at night and Agatha has always Be part of that plan. Scarlet Witch could be one of the main stars of this part of the Marvel Universe. With two Avengers movies to go, Wanda’s knowledge of the multiverse should prove valuable.
The best way to stay away Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness‘ Scarlet Witch’s villain role would go in the opposite direction. I’d like to see the MCU make Wanda one of the franchise’s most important heroes, one of the leaders of the Avengers, and perhaps one of the leaders of Marvel Comics’ premier supernatural team, Midnight Sun (if it premieres). Joe Rock’s teen seems to have been confirmed to be one of Wanda’s reincarnated sons, Billy Kaplan. Marvel needs to bring Scarlet Witch back and have her reconnect with her sons in a less bloody story.
