In the wake of The Marvels, MCU is gearing up for another push of content and stories in order to garner fan interest in the MCU. It has been long rumored that key members of the cast from the Infinity Saga, such as Elizabeth Olsen, might be returning to the MCU might be returning in the current phases to boost the franchise’s standing with fans.
Agatha: Darkhold Diaries seems to be shaping up to be another entry in Scarlet Witch’s story in the MCU and a recent set leak might reveal that Elizabeth Olsen’s character might be returning to the franchise, even if it is for a cameo.

Agatha Harkness will still be stuck under The Scarlet Witch’s spell
At the end of WandaVision, Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch put Katherine Hahn’s Agatha Harkness into the same spell that she put the entire town under. Only this time, it was limited to Agnes, who was to suffer this punishment for going after Wanda’s family throughout the episode. Agatha: Darkhold Diaries will pick up exactly where the character was left off, stuck in her own world, thanks to the spell that the Scarlet Witch put her under.
In an exclusive peak behind the scenes, X user CanWeGetSomeToast has revealed how Agatha might be coping and dealing with their new status quo, while also hinting at what the nature of Wanda’s cameo (or proper role) could be.

In the first episode of ‘AGATHA: DARKHOLD DIARIES’, Agatha will still be under the Scarlet Witch’s spell. As such, “Detective Agnes” is investigating a murder case. At first, the toe tag of the victim on the table reads: W. MAXIMOFF.

According to the leak, Agnes is going to be trying her level best to crawl out of the spell that Wanda has placed on her, with some outside help. When seeing a tag on a corpse, the name inscribed on it read W. Maximoff, hinting that Wanda might be tormenting the witch in more ways than one.
Where will Elizabeth Olsen be in the MCU?
The last we saw of Wanda Maximoff as the Scarlet Witch was in the sequel to Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Seeing the monster that she had become in pursuit of her children (who had vanished once the anomaly at Westview seized), Wanda chooses to end the madness and causes the surrounding structure to collapse on her, allegedly killing herself.
Given how Marvel is branching out into the multiverse, Wanda Maximoff still has a lot of opportunities to appear. There are multiple What If…? episodes where Wanda might make an appearance again, while the Marvel Zombies timeline could introduce us to a further twisted version of The Scarlett Witch, one that has been turned into a zombie.
