October 28, 2024 Is Wanda Maximoff Dead In the MCU? Agatha All Along Creator Clarifies Comments on Her Fate

The topic “Is Wanda Maximoff Dead In the MCU? Agatha All Along Creator Clarifies Comments on Her Fate” has two versions, a written one, and a video version below the written one.

Agatha All Along’s creator addressed Wanda Maximoff’s presumed death in the MCU once again.

The creator of “Agatha All Along” recently addressed the question of whether Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, is truly dead in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Since the conclusion of 2022’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” many fans have assumed that Wanda Maximoff died in the MCU’s main timeline.

This assumption is understandable, given that she appeared to be crushed by a collapsing Mount Wundagore. However, her status as a powerful hero in the MCU leads many to question this belief. As is common in comic book movies, characters often return from the dead.

The original trailer for “Agatha All Along” suggested Wanda’s death, as viewers could see her body lying near a creek during Agatha’s investigation in Episode 1.

Is Wanda Maximoff Dead In the MCU? Agatha All Along Creator Clarifies Comments on Her Fate

In an interview with The Wrap, Jac Schaeffer, the creator of “Agatha All Along,” addressed the question of Wanda Maximoff’s potential death in the MCU. When asked about the ambiguity surrounding Wanda’s fate, Schaeffer noted that viewers are seeing the situation from Agatha’s perspective. Agatha doesn’t have a definitive answer regarding Wanda’s status. Although she claims to have “seen a dead body” while under Wanda’s spell, she doesn’t fully trust what she witnessed at that time.

“We wrote that from Agatha’s perspective and as far as Agatha’s concerned, she actually does not have the answer. She has the evidence from her witchified mind. The mind that was under a spell saw a dead body. But she knows she can’t entirely trust that, and she wasn’t there when Wundagore came down. She doesn’t actually know.”

Not having that answer leads Agatha to “play with her food” and tease people over that mystery:

“So if Agatha doesn’t have the answer to a question, what’s she going to do? She’s going to play with her food, you know what I mean? She’s going to mess with people. That’s Agatha being Agatha. That’s Agatha Agatha-ing.”

Schaeffer avoided answering the question about the larger MCU, stating it was “not her department.”

“But as far as the larger MCU of it. Yeah, it is not my department. But as you know, I am forever rooting for Wanda Maximoff to come grace us with her presence.”

This follows the confirmation of Wanda’s death in the MCU, which has been acknowledged by multiple executives, as mentioned in “Agatha All Along,” Episode 7. Early in the episode, Joe Locke’s character, Billy Maximoff, asks Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness about his mother. However, Agatha avoids giving him a direct answer:

Billy Maximoff: “Is Wanda Maximoff really dead?”

Agatha Harkness: “Yes. No. Maybe.”

Billy: “Did you see a body?”

Agatha: “Yes, I did.”

Billy: “Did anybody else?”

Agatha: “It’s hard to say. Hey, you want straight answers, ask a straight lady.”

Will Wanda Maximoff Return to the MCU?

Despite Wanda’s death in the current MCU timeline, many fans are eagerly anticipating her return in the near future. The details of how this will happen remain a mystery, but it continues to be a highly discussed topic among the fandom. 

Jac Schaeffer has expressed a desire for a Scarlet Witch movie, which would bring Elizabeth Olsen’s character back into the spotlight in a significant way.
Additionally, marketing material from “Agatha All Along” has hinted at Wanda Maximoff’s comeback, especially following the full reveal of her son, Billy Maximoff, in Episode 5.

Her return could serve as a significant turning point during Agatha’s two-episode finale, especially considering how frequently she has been mentioned throughout the series. However, her comeback is not guaranteed to happen this soon. 

At the very least, many expect her to be resurrected for the major event that will be 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars, which is set to bring together generations of Marvel’s top characters on screen. Whether her return occurs before that or is saved for the event, it will undoubtedly spark plenty of discussion among viewers.

The first seven episodes of Agatha All Along are currently streaming on Disney+. Episodes 8 and 9 will be available to view at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Wednesday, October 30.
