WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen makes quite an impression in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as The Scarlet Witch embraces her darker tendencies and "breaks bad" to the point that she really does become a full-on villain.
After massacring the Illuminati (find out how that goes down here) and coming very close to taking America Chavez's life, Wanda ultimately comes to realize how far she's fallen when the reality-hopping hero introduces the now borderline deranged former Avenger to the Multiversal versions of her kids, Billy and Tommy.
Wanda decides to destroy every Darkhold in every universe, and appears to be crushed by the falling debris of Wundagore Mountain. So, is this the last we've seen of the Scarlet Witch?
“There’s a couple different versions of what could happen at the end of this film," Olsen told Extra when asked how she views the climax of the film. "Mostly, I want to hear what the fans who know her best, what they would like to see from her next.”
It's highly unlikely that Marvel Studios would kill this character off in such an ambiguous way, so Olsen will almost certainly reprise the role at some point - although in a separate interview with Harper's Bazaar, the actress did note that she didn't "feel bad saying goodbye to [Wanda].”
Assuming The Scarlet Witch does return, it'll be interesting to see how the character is utilized. Though she did see the error of her ways in the end, a redemption arc after everything she's done might be a bit hard to swallow.
Where do you guys think we'll see Wanda Maximoff in The MCU next?
