Elizabeth Olsen recently confirmed that she won't return as the Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars. That's about as believable as Chris Evans claiming he isn't coming back as Captain America, so we'd suggest not taking those - or these - comments too seriously.
During a recent appearance on Jenna & Friends, Olsen was asked about her MCU future and responded, "[Laughs] Well, if someone hasn't seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, I did die."
Asked if any sort of comeback is in the works, the actor claimed, "Not that I'm aware of."
Rumour has it the Scarlet Witch will be a huge part of the story told by the Russo Brothers in the next Avengers movies. The character is in desperate need of redemption after the Doctor Strange sequel, and her reality-altering powers will surely be a huge part of Doctor Doom's plan to create a new reality (Battleworld).
In related news, Entertainment Tonight caught up with Agatha All Along star Kathryn Hahn this week and wondered what she makes of Olsen saying her time as Wanda Maximoff is over.
"Oh, no, I don't know anything about anything," she quickly responded. "I'm under a rock. I love her so much." With Billy Maximoff (and potentially Tommy) expected to factor into Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, changes are Agatha Harkness' ghost will join then and perhaps even reunite with the Scarlet Witch.
WandaVision and Agatha All Along showrunner Jac Schaeffer recently spoke to Screen Rant and was asked for her take on what comes next for the characters introduced in those shows.
"I sort of don't think about it in terms of, 'What is the project?' It's more the characters, and all of these characters in this corner of the sandbox– Agatha, the Maximoffs, the townspeople of Westview, our coven...they all interest me," she said. "I mean, particularly Ralph Bohner. It’s a stable of performers and characters that are so close to my heart, so it's really about them."
"Where they appear, I don't know, but I am interested in being a part of those storylines at some point again," Schaeffer added.
Back to Olsen, and quizzed this week about reuniting with Earth's Mightiest Heroes ahead of production beginning on Avengers: Doomsday in London, she stated, "No, I’m back [in the States]. I just finished [Panic Carefully]. I’m moving on to filming a pilot for FX [called Seven Sisters]." Again, we're not buying it.
