The topic “Scarlet Witch’s Return Just Teased By New Agatha All Along Trailer” has two versions, a written one, and a video version below the written version.
In the latest trailer for Marvel Studios’ Agatha All Along, there may be a hint at the return of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch, more than two years after her last appearance. Although Wanda Maximoff is known as one of the MCU’s most powerful characters, the Scarlet Witch was confirmed to be dead in the first episode of Agatha All Along. This has been the case since she seemingly perished under Mount Wundagore in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Agatha All Along, serving as a true WandaVision spin-off, brought back multiple characters from its Disney+ predecessor. Considering Wanda’s immense popularity with MCU fans, she remains a hot topic as viewers continually ask whether this new series will bring her back into the fold.
Agatha All Along Trailer Teases Scarlet Witch's Return
The official midseason trailer for “Agatha All Along” hinted at a possible return for Elizabeth Olsen’s character, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, after her apparent death in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” The trailer included a quick glimpse of the red Hex that Wanda created in “WandaVision,” which trapped Westview and its residents in a TV-sitcom-inspired reality.
Another brief clip depicted Locke in the backseat of a car, glancing back at the Hex, which was reflected in the window.
Finally, in the last moment of the sequence, Billy Maximoff yells, “Mom!” as the car avoids hitting oncoming traffic and crashes into a nearby tree just off the road.
One week after it was confirmed that Joe Locke’s “Teen” character is the MCU’s version of Wiccan/Billy Maximoff, one of Wanda’s superpowered twin sons, the trailer further confirmed the reveal. In the trailer, Agatha asked the question, “What does Billy Maximoff want at the end of the road?”
Will the Scarlet Witch Return in Agatha All Along?
Despite being deceased, Elizabeth Olsen’s character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to make headlines. Most recently, Marvel’s top executives discussed the possibility of a Scarlet Witch solo movie at the premiere of “Agatha All Along.” With the release of a trailer teasing her appearance in the show, the calls for her return are likely to grow louder and more frequent. Although Wanda is believed to be deceased at the beginning of “Agatha All Along,” there is no guarantee that she will remain dead.
It’s likely that the scene showing Wanda’s Hex will turn out to be a flashback, possibly revealing the reincarnated spirit of Billy Maximoff inhabiting Locke’s character. WandaVision director Matt Shakman has previously stated that he cannot confirm whether Billy can survive outside of Wanda’s hex. These flashback scenes in Agatha could provide fans with answers about how Billy’s resurrection occurred and how he can exist outside of the new reality created by the Scarlet Witch.
However, more notably, these scenes will leave fans wondering whether Westview could be the place where Wanda makes her grand comeback. If this comeback were to happen, it would most likely not occur until sometime in the last episode or two to ensure that Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha gets her rightful shine. Marvel may even save Wanda’s true comeback for a bigger film such as Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars and only lay out the stepping stones in this show.
One theory suggests that Billy might have wished for his mother’s return at the end of the Witches’ Road when he and the coven reached that point. However, as he also serves as an obstacle for Agatha to overcome, this may be a challenging task.
Regardless of how this unfolds, Wanda’s imminent return is at the forefront of fans’ minds more than it has been in the past couple of years, with “Agatha All Along” potentially paving the way for this to happen.
The first five episodes of Agatha All Along are currently available to stream on Disney+. Episode 6 will premiere on Wednesday, October 16 at 6 p.m. ET.
