The anticipation for Deadpool 3 is at an all-time high. Fueled by Hugh Jackman’s potential return as Wolverine, the excitement reached a crescendo when rumors of Scarlet Witch, portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen, raising back from the dead to star alongside Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds surfaced online.
Persistent rumors about the involvement of Earth-838 (the one where the Scarlet Witch takes control of Wanda Maximoff) sparked the imagination of fans.
How did the ‘leaks’ reveal Scarlet Witch’s involvement in Deadpool 3?
Reportedly, various ‘leaks’ indicated that the aftermath of events in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has left Earth-838 in chaos. And this chaos is primarily due to the Scarlet Witch’s alleged brutal actions against the Illuminati.
If these unverified reports are to be believed, the void left by the events has allowed Magneto to reshape reality into his own image. Hence, owing to this Deadpool and Wolverine are approached by the Time Variance Authority to avert the multiverse-threatening crisis.
As per Redditt’s Movie Leaks, it is difficult to imagine the absence of the Scarlet Witch from Earth-838. For the ones who might not be aware, the House of M storyline chronicles Scarlet Witch’s manipulation of reality to erase mutants (like Wolverine) with her iconic phrase, “No More Mutants.”
The fan reaction to the rumors was filled with both curiosity and skepticism. But it cannot be denied that the news of Elizabeth Olsen’s involvement added an extra layer of intrigue to the movie.
Latest update on Scarlet Witch’s involvement in Deadpool 3
Well, with any unverified claims of ‘leaks,’ it’s important to stay prudent with rumors. And the recent update clarifies all the doubts surrounding Olsen’s involvement in the upcoming Deadpool 3 movie.
As per the latest update shared by an insider, no version of the Scarlet Witch (as the Witch or Wanda Maximoff) will appear in Deadpool 3.
Sorry Wanda fans, neither The Scarlet Witch NOR Wanda-838 will be appearing in #Deadpool3.
