“After Elizabeth Olsen’s leading role in her first solo MCU project, the Phase 4 streaming series WandaVision, fans have been clamoring for a potential MCU Scarlet Witch movie. A top producer at Marvel Studios recently hinted that this could be on the horizon.”
Even after Wanda Maximoff met her end in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the requests for a Scarlet Witch solo movie continue to pour in. Olsen’s portrayal of Wanda Maximoff remains one of the most popular characters in the Multiverse Saga, making her return a top priority for countless fans.
MCU Producer Addresses Scarlet Witch Movie
At the world premiere event for Marvel Studios’ Agatha All Along, Jac Schaeffer, an MCU writer/producer who has been working at Marvel Studios for the last three years under an overall deal, shared the studio’s current stance on making a Scarlet Witch movie.
In an interview with Variety, Schaeffer was asked when the Scarlet Witch solo movie would start shooting. In response, she expressed her hope for a Scarlet Witch movie to happen, as fans are eager for more Wanda Maximoff:
“I mean, I’m just here hoping for a Scarlet Witch movie, right? We all want Wanda, so fingers crossed that’s a thing that happens.”
Pondering whether it would happen, the Marvel creative couldn’t respond. She explained that she was deeply focused on her work with Agatha and couldn’t quite see through the trees:
“I don’t know! I’m in witchy Agatha-land right now, and I can’t quite see through the trees, but we’re hoping.”
She acknowledged that it was not something she could discuss with the press, stating, “Not at the moment!”
Recently, fans have noticed a listing in Production Weekly claiming that there is a Scarlet Witch movie in development. The movie reportedly features Elizabeth Olsen as the lead actress and Schaeffer as the writer. It is listed for a 2026 release, although it is unclear how reliable this information is.
Will There Be a Scarlet Witch Movie?
As of now, aside from the rumors mentioned earlier, there are no indications that a Scarlet Witch movie is actively being developed by Marvel Studios. Additionally, there has been no indication of when Wanda will return after her death in Doctor Strange 2.
Although Elizabeth Olsen has expressed uncertainty about her future with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), she has openly discussed the likelihood of her returning to the franchise in the near future. There have also been rumors about her appearing in “Agatha All Along,” which is said to be a spin-off of “WandaVision.”
If Scarlet Witch were to have her own movie, fans would undoubtedly be excited to see it come to life. However, the potential storyline and release date are still a mystery. It’s speculated that “WandaVision” and “Agatha All Along” are part of a trilogy leading up to the upcoming “Vision” series, which may delve into Wanda’s character development. Depending on the events of the series, fans may get a better idea of where Scarlet Witch stands in the MCU after the Mount Wundagore events.
After Wanda was shown to be dead in the promo material for Agatha All Along, questions remain about how she could come back to life. However, if her solo movie becomes a reality, Marvel and its fans seem ready to bring back one of the franchise’s most powerful characters.
All of Elizabeth Olsen’s appearances as the Scarlet Witch in the MCU are available to stream on Disney+. Agatha All Along will debut with a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, September 18th.
