Actress Elizabeth Olsen who is known as the fan-favorite red witch, Wanda Maximoff, from the MCU has always been about stealing the show whenever she appeared on the screen. Fans of the superhero universe are head over heels for both the actress and the character she plays. Her recent appearance in Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness was quite well-received by the fans.
The People’s Choice Awards this year saw many artists taking home multiple awards for their work, including BTS, Taylor Swift, and Lizzo. Elizabeth Olsen is part of the list as she too bagged more than one award at the ceremony. It looks like her villainous take on Wanda, aka the Scarlet Witch, proved to work in her favor.

Will Olsen winning the hearts of the viewers lead to the Marvel executives offering her a solo movie? We sure hope so! Even though Wanda has her own Disney+ show, Wandavision, it would be incredible to see her powers shine in full brightness on the big screens!
Why Fans Love Wanda in Multiverse of Madness
Multiverse of Madness showed a completely different side of the character. The Wanda who once could sacrifice a lot to save the world now waged a war on the same world. She was determined to reunite with the family she created for herself and she didn’t care who she had to cross to get what she wanted. Multiverse of Madness showed that while Scarlet Witch was one of the earth’s protectors, she was also a force who shouldn’t be reckoned with.
Seeing this whole other personality had fans on the edge of their seats, which is what one expects when they go to watch an MCU film. Even though her character was “evil” in the film, it is safe to say that she stole the spotlight, and she did that with just as much ease as she destroyed the Illuminati in the movie with. People loved the villainous personality so much that they were even sort of upset to see her redeemed in the end.
We are excited to see how Olsen tops this!
Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness is available to stream on Disney+.
