Though nothing has been officially confirmed, it looks like we can expect to see the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in Avengers: Doomsday in some capacity.
According to Daniel Richtman, additional photography on December's massive MCU event movie has now ended, and the reshoots did indeed involve "Scarlet Witch and other characters like Sue Storm."
We're still not sure what these scenes will entail, but Richtman and other scoopers have also shared vague posts and memes suggesting that Wanda won't exactly be having the easiest time of things when we see her again in Doomsday.
MTTSH believes that only Olsen's stunt double was actually on set, and filmed something for Doomsday's post-credits scene.
We have heard various conflicting reports over the past year or so, with some scoopers claiming that the Scarlet Witch will have a major part as an ally of Doctor Doom, while others believe she will only appear briefly to set up a much bigger role in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Olsen has repeatedly denied that she will return for Doomsday - or Secret Wars - but it's probably fair to say that not many fans are buying it!
"I didn’t realize this until about six years ago, but because Marvel and its influence takes up so much physical time and space in the world, it’s really important for me to make choices outside of Marvel that reflect my own taste," Olsen said last year. "Your taste does create the artist that you are, and that wasn’t something I was thinking about when I first started working. I was just grateful to be a working actor. I wanted to stretch myself into different roles, and I wasn’t really thinking about my taste. So the opportunity to return to films like this is a reflection of the people I want to work with and my own personal taste in ways, even if I’m not the filmmaker."
We haven't seen Wanda (alive, at least) since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, when the powerful former Avenger found some redemption for her villainous deeds by destroying every copy of the Darkhold and bringing a mountain down on top of herself.
A lot of fans were of the opinion that this "heel turn" didn't feel earned, and that the character's switch to a full-on villain between the events of WandaVision and the Doctor Strange sequel didn't really make complete sense. This is certainly debatable (Wanda's actions in the Disney+ series were highly... questionable, after all), but Olsen has shared similar sentiments herself.
Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars were hit with significant delays last year, with Doomsday now set to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars positioned for December 17, 2027.
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
"Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday. Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and ultimately face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered. This epic film will lay the foundation for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
