Elizabeth Olsen is coming back as a version of theScarlet Witchin the next year, and theMarvel Cinematic Universehas many exciting movies and series that would make sense for Wanda Maximoff to appear.Olsen’s Marvel character was last seen in 2022’sDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which had the Scarlet Witch seemingly die. Then,Agatha All Alongteased that Wanda could return infuture MCU projects, especially since the show featured one of her sons, Billy Maximoff.
TheScarlet Witch’s MCU journeyis likely far from over, as Olsen wants to return as the character, and Marvel Studios PresidentKevin Feige recently commented on Scarlet Witch’s MCU return, saying, “We are excited to find out when and how Scarlet Witch can return.” Adding to that,Wanda will already be back in 2025, withOlsen set to play a different version of the character in the animated seriesMarvel Zombies. Following her Marvel return, Olsen’s Scarlet Witch could appear in several MCU projects.
10Agatha All Along Season 2
The First WandaVision Spinoff Could Return For More
WandaVisionhas become one of theMCU’s best TV shows, making full use of the Disney+ platform. The series set up multiple characters for future projects, with Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness being its breakout character. That led to the witch’s solo series,Agatha All Along, whichdid not feature Wanda Maximoff’s MCU return, despite speculation.
Marvel Theory Explains How Agatha Harkness Could Come Back To Life In The MCU Next Year
A major MCU theory reveals how Agatha Harkness could appear in the MCU in 2025 and return to life after becoming a ghost in Agatha All Along.
However, the Scarlet Witch was present in the show in different ways, withAgatha All Alongteasing Wanda’s MCU return throughout the season. At the moment, there are no plans forAgatha All Alongseason 2. However,Kevin Feige saidAgatha All Alongwas great for Marvel Studiosand that fans have since wanted to know more about Wanda.
Agatha All Along
Cast
Agatha Harkness, after the events of “WandaVision,” seeks to regain her magical powers. Joining forces with unexpected allies, including the son of an old adversary, she battles new mystical threats while uncovering hidden secrets in the magical realm.
A second season could continue a popular project, with Billy Maximoff and the ghost Agatha Harkness finding Tommy and, surprisingly, Wanda along the way. This would make for a poignant family reunion and put the Scarlet Witch in front of her nemesis at the same time.
9A Wiccan Solo Project
One Of The Scarlet Witch’s Sons Has Appeared In A Major Way
Even ifAgatha All Alongdoes not return for season 2, the series could still lead to Wanda Maximoff’s next MCU appearance.Agatha All Along’s most important character besides Kathryn Hahn’s witch was Joe Locke’s “Teen.” After the reveal thathe was really Billy Maximoff in the body of the deceased William Kaplan, the character became even more important, not only for the show but for the MCU’s future.
SinceAgatha Harkness has died and become a ghost, her and Billy’s quest to find Tommy might not play out in a possibleAgatha All Alongseason 2. Instead, theWandaVisionspinoff could get a spinoff series of its own, with a new project focused on Locke’s Billy. Having Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch appear in a TV series starring one of her sons and with a story about finding the other would be fitting.
8Vision
Paul Bettany’s White Vision Is Coming Back
Agatha All Alongis not the onlyWandaVisionspinoff planned by Marvel. After Olsen went on to star inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,WandaVision’s other lead actor, Paul Bettany, will get another major starring role of his own in the future. Interestingly, Bettany will not appear in another character’s project but will rather headlineMarvel Studios' upcoming Vision series.The project will reportedly debut in 2026.
James Spader will reportedly return as Ultron in Marvel’s Vision series.
Bettany’s White Vision left Westview confused at the end ofWandaVision. After some time has passed since the Hex version of Vision shared his memories with the character,it would make sense for White Vision to go after his lost family. The MCU’s Vision series could feature a heartwarming reunion between him and Wanda. Olsen’s powerful character could help him fight Ultron in what would be an exciting battle.
7Avengers: Doomsday
The Scarlet Witch Could Help Stop Doctor Doom
There is no bigger project in the next two years that could feature the Scarlet Witch’s formal MCU return thanAvengers: Doomsday. Wanda Maximoff could play two very different roles in the MCU movie. In Marvel Comics, after the Scarlet Witch was presumed dead, it was revealed that the character had been staying with Doctor Doom. Not only that, but the two characters had struck a romance.Robert Downey Jr. debuts as Doctor Doom inAvengers: Doomsday.
Avengers: Doomsday Theory Undoes The Ending Of Spider-Man: No Way Home With A Major Twist
A new Avengers: Doomsday theory based on MCU Spider-Man 4 updates explains how Spider-Man: No Way Home’s ending can be undone in the near future.
Elizabeth Olsen could return with a shocking twist if Marvel made Doctor Doom and the Scarlet Witch allies or even lovers. However, after her villain arc inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessproved to be controversial, a heroic return is more likely. Scarlet Witch’s immense power and multiverse knowledge make hera great asset for the Avengers against Doom.
6Avengers: Secret Wars
The Multiverse Saga’s Finale
Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is a fan-favorite MCU character. As such, it would make sense for her to appear in both of the upcoming Avengers movies, especially ifa Scarlet Witch redemption arcis to play out in the MCU. In the comics, Doctor Doom is initially victorious, being able to create Battleworld, a patchwork planet made of multiverse locations and characters.Avengers: Doomsdaycould end with Battleworld’s creation.
Scarlet Witch’s reality-altering powers could be what is needed to beat the villain.
God Emperor Doom would be way too powerful for pretty much any MCU character to take on. However, Scarlet Witch’s reality-altering powers could be what is needed to beat the villain. Not only that, but Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff could also be one of the characters thatmanages to restore the multiverse after Doom is defeated. Saving the entire multiverse would surely allow Wanda to redeem herself for her multiversal killing spree.
5Armor Wars
The Scarlet Witch Could Assist Another MCU Hero
Armor Warsis not typically a project that would need to feature Wanda Maximoff. The story evolved from a Disney+ series into a movie beforethe War Machine-centric project got stuck in development hell. The movie is currently in the same boat as Mahershala Ali’sBlade, with a lead actor set but no release date nor a production start in mind. However, adding major players like the Scarlet Witch could move things forward.
Armor Wars
Initially conceived as a Disney+ series, Armor Wars is an MCU movie centered on Rhodey Rhodes' mission to honor Tony Stark’s legacy and keep his Iron Man technology from wreaking havoc when they fall into the wrong hands. Starring Don Cheadle as War Machine, Marvel Studios' Armor Wars adapts the eponymous comic book storyline to the big screen in the Multiverse Saga.
The way Wanda could end up being inArmor Warsis through White Vision.Paul Bettany’s original Vision was created based on Tony Stark’s A.I. assistant J.A.R.V.I.S.As such, it would make sense for White Vision to be involved in a movie that is meant to be about Iron Man’s legacy and Stark’s tech falling into the wrong hands. With the Scarlet Witch aiding War Machine, White Vision, and Ironheart, the villains would have no chance.
4Young Avengers
A New MCU Team That Has Been Set Up
Instead of finding her children in a Wiccan project orAgatha All Alongseason 2, Wanda Maximoff could do so in a team movie or series.The MCU introduced many young heroes during the Multiverse Saga. After one ofThe Marvels' post-credits scenesmade it clear that Kamala Khan is assembling her own team — which features Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop — the Young Avengers have to be debuting soon.
There is a key Young Avengers comic book story that would be perfect for uniting Wanda and her sons. Marvel Comics' “Avengers: The Children’s Crusade” put Billy Maximoff in the spotlight, with the charactergoing on a quest to find the Scarlet Witchand understand Wanda’s role in major Marvel Universe events. Billy was shown to be just as confused and curious about his mother’s whereabouts and actions in the MCU as he is in the comic book story, so a Young Avengers project could follow “The Children’s Crusade.”
3X-Men
The Scarlet Witch Can Interact With Her Marvel Comics Father
Based on her popularity, Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch could remain an active part of the MCU for many years to come. After the Multiverse Saga ends, Marvel is set to debut its version of the X-Men. This could allow the MCU to get really comic book-accurate when it comes to Wanda Maximoff. The Scarlet Witch is a mutant in the comics, andboth her and Quicksilver are Magneto’s children.
20 Best Characters In Every X-Men Movie Franchise Ranked
The X-Men movies have had their ups and downs, but the live-action Marvel franchise delivered many exciting versions of beloved mutants from the comic
An MCU reboot is rumored to happen afterAvengers: Secret Wars. Whether that happens or not,Kevin Feige recently said the X-Men are important to the MCU’s future. It seems like there will be a major focus on the team and mutants in general after the Multiverse Saga ends. This could allow Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch to be part of a whole new side of Marvel and develop a complex bond with Magneto.
2Wonder Man
The Character Is Connected To Wanda In The Comics
Marvel Studios only recently confirmed that Disney+‘sWonder Manseries is happening, releasing the first footage from the project. The superhero series takes a DC star, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and has the actor play the lead role of Simon Williams. The actor-turned-superhero will meet at least one other MCU character in his franchise debut, as Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery was revealed to be Simon’s friend in the show’s first teaser.
Wonder Man
December 2025
That could be expanded in the show, with more MCU characters appearing inWonder Man. In the comics,Simon Williams and Wanda Maximoff have dated. The characters get together after Vision is put together without his memories. The setup is similar to the MCU’s White Vision story, so Wanda could make a surprise return and start a relationship with Simon Williams inWonder Mannext year.
1A Scarlet Witch Movie
Elizabeth Olsen Can Anchor A Successful MCU Film
Finally, thebest possible future MCU appearance for Elizabeth Olsenwould be in a Scarlet Witch solo movie.WandaVisionwas a major success and is regarded by many as the MCU’s best TV show. Then, Olsen played the main villain inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with the movie ending its global box office run with $955.7 million, according toBox Office Mojo.
That is to say thatprojects where the Scarlet Witch plays a major role tend to do well for Marvel.WandaVisioncreator Jac Schaeffer wants a Scarlet Witch movie to happen, and afterAgatha All Alongwas also successful, she might just get her wish. A Scarlet Witch movie would allow Wanda to become an even bigger character in the MCU, and it would fit in with Vision getting a new solo project afterWandaVision, with a movie being perfect to spotlight Elizabeth Olsen’sScarlet Witch.
