Marvel had earlier confirmed that Elizabeth Olsen’s role as Wanda Maximoff will be central to the Multiverse Saga. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Wanda has undergone a transformation from a celebrated hero to a multiversal villain. The Darkhold prophecy materialized as Scarlet Witch seized control of Wanda and wreaked havoc upon the multiverse.
One of the most severely impacted universes is Earth-838, which lost its heroes to the Scarlet Witch, leading to a dystopian future. However, reports indicate that Earth-838 will play a pivotal role in determining the fate of the multiverse.

Will Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch Return To The Multiverse?
In Elizabeth Olsen‘s last appearance, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda Maximoff made a sacrifice by obliterating Wundagore Mountain along with every Darkhold across the multiverse. Yet, sources suggest that Wanda is currently stuck within The Witch’s Road, an alternate dimension. The Witch’s Road is set to receive more attention in the upcoming series Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
Rumors suggest that Wanda Maximoff’s next appearance will be in the forthcoming Deadpool 3 movie. However, reports indicate that this version of Wanda hails not from the original Earth-616, but from Earth-838. Although the movie has been delayed and there is limited information about the movie, the possibility of a multiversal connection arises as Wolverine resurfaces in the film.
Elizabeth Olsen Set To Become A Villain Once Again In Doctor Strange 3?
The story for a potential Doctor Strange 3 has been leaked and is circulating among fan groups. In this sequel to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda-838 is slated to fight Doctor Strange. After Scarlet Witch mercilessly killed the Illuminati using her body, Wanda-838 will assume the superhero mantle to retaliate. She is anticipated to join forces with her mentor-like figure from Earth-838, Magneto, marking the possible return of Sir Ian McKellen.
RUMOR: Following the events of Multiverse of Madness, Earth-838 has deemed Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff’s invasion and destabilization of their universe as an act of war against 838 and will seek to retaliate.

Magneto is expected to lead the new Illuminati, joined by Wanda, in their fight against Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Earth-616. Their aim is to avenge their Universe, which was destroyed, and their heroes who were slain. If these scenarios materialize, the foundation for such a story will be laid in Deadpool 3, where both Olsen and McKellen could appear.
Will Loki Also Set The Stage For Multiversal War?
As tensions escalate between Earth-616 and Earth-838, Loki is likely to contribute references or pivotal events to the storyline. The Loki series initiated the disruption of the timeline and the ensuing chaos across the multiverse. It is fitting for Loki to be involved in this significant multiversal event.
A Doctor Strange sequel is not included in MCU Phase 6. Therefore, the multiversal war could serve as the next major event after Kang the Conqueror. As the studio struggles to meet fan expectations, solid plotlines are imperative for the MCU’s future.

Given that Wanda is expected to appear in multiple Marvel films, fans must await confirmation of Elizabeth Olsen’s extended commitment to the franchise. It is logical for the Oldboy actress, who has been a part of the MCU since 2015, to eventually move on. In the meantime, viewers can stream Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on Disney+.
