Spoilers have quite become the norm in the MCU. From Mark Ruffalo being the top two Marvel stars dishing out first-hand spoilers, the heritage has been passed on to newer actors as well. WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen last appeared as Scalet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. After a crisis, Scarlet Witch died around the end, leaving fans contemplating her MCU run.
However, Olsen returned to MCU in the Season 2 of What if…? voicing Scarlet Witch in the animated series. Despite having clarified rumors about her potential return in the spin-off series Agatha: Darkhold Diaries scheduled to release late next year, another Marvel actor unraveled a spoiler on Instagram.
Elizabeth Olsen shall return
After starring as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the 2021 series WandaVision, the 34-year-old actress reprised her role in Doctor Strange 2, followed by her sacrifice to destroy the Darkhold. She was presumed dead after being buried under Mount Wundagore, per The Direct. However, Michael Waldron, scribe for Doctor Strange 2 revealed in an interview with Variety that her death was open to interpretation.
Along the same lines, WandaVision star Asif Ali who also reprises his character in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, was asked about Wanda Maximoff’s return to MCU on Instagram. The query asked, “Will Wanda be in Agatha’s show, bro? Please..,”
Ali responded to the question with a brief enthusiastic comment, that seemingly turned out to be a blunder. He wrote, “Yes!”
This confirmed Olsen’s return as Scarlet Witch and fans were enthralled. However, moments later, the comment was deleted indicating two things: Olsen’s return was meant to be a secret or he misinformed the fans. However, hopes are high for Maximoff’s return in the 2024 series, which would be her second MCU appearance after What if…? in the same running year.
No comeback for Elizabeth Olsen?
While there is still a lot to unravel in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, fans choose to focus on Olsen’s comeback to the Multiverse. Speaking in an interview with Good Morning America, the American actress revealed that while her return is not yet expected, she is keen on learning about her appearances in MCU’s Phase 4, from the fans. She said,
“There is no plan, and I’m serious. I’m not a good liar, I wish I had a plan. And I’m not sure. I’m really excited for fans to see this film because it is something very different from what they’ve seen, and I’m really curious to hear what they want after, because I think it is a very surprising film.”
Furthermore, Elizabeth Olsen also confirmed that she would not be returning but expressed her admiration for Kathryn Hahn, who would be starring in the Disney Plus miniseries. Olsen is open to work on anything that involved Hahn, she claimed.
Agatha: Darkhold Diaries is scheduled to release around Fall 2024, featuring Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness, and Asif Ali as Abhilash Tandon/Norm. Will fans see the powerhouse Scarlet Witch return? We will have to wait and watch.
