RUMOR: Marvel Studios' SCARLET WITCH Plans Will See Wanda Maximoff Take Center Stage In The Mutant Saga

Another day, another round of rumours about Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch. This time, we get a better idea of the extent of plans for Wanda Maximoff in the MCU moving forward. Read on for details...

After Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, we still don't know what's next for the Scarlet Witch in the MCU. The character does appear to have died, but her story surely isn't over and there are plenty of places Wanda Maximoff can still go after her rampage through the Multiverse. 

If online scoopers are to be believed, a Scarlet Witch movie is somewhere on the horizon and we have good reason to believe Agatha All Along will offer an update on Wanda's status, if not a full-blown cameo from Elizabeth Olsen.

There have been lots of rumours about the character in recent weeks, but @MyTimeToShineH (who, we should remind you, revealed Matthias Schoenaerts' Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow casting 10 days before the trades) has just shared a big update.

According to the scooper, "Marvel Studios has big plans for Wanda/Scarlet Witch which include a solo movie, two more WandaVision spinoff series and giving her a major role in the next Avengers films and THE MUTANT SAGA."

They'd later confirm that those two spin-offs are in addition to Vision and, if accurate, it seems Marvel Studios' plans for the Scarlet Witch are bigger than we imagined. 

Interestingly, the leaker included a photo of Madame Web star Sydney Sweeney in their X post so perhaps that's a hint her rumoured mystery MCU role has something to do with the Scarlet Witch? Either way, if Wanda does factor into the Mutant Saga (which many believe will be what comes after the Multiverse Saga), it raises some very big questions. 

Bear in mind that, in the comics, the Scarlet Witch created the House of M reality and later uttered the fateful words, "No. More. Mutants."

"It's a character I love going back to when there's a way to use her well and I think I've been lucky when I started I was used well," Olsen recently said of a possible MCU return, "and they kind of didn't know what to do with me for a second there! If there's a good way to use her, I'm always happy to come back."

"I think so. I assume as much," she said when asked if the Avenger is still alive. "Yeah, and there was a red light of explosive energy. I think I'm dead. I would beg to leave a window open. I had so much fun doing these movies. I would like to figure out how to cleverly be undead."

"We need to find the smartest writers to figure out how to make this all make sense. I'm open to ideas," Olsen noted.

If it involves sweet Lizzie O and a hot tub full of warm cherry jello, I'm all in!

I bet they pull some kind of reverse House of M and she somehow brings mutants into the MCU proper. She really isn’t a huge part of a lot of the biggest mutant storylines so that one makes the most sense.

@mountainman - I thought the exact same thing. Not sure how I would feel about that, but I guess it depends on how they do it.
MotherGooseUPus
MotherGooseUPus - 9/25/2024, 1:14 PM
@mountainman - that makes the most sense and i'm ok with that to be honest. she can't destroy the mutants if there aren't any in the MCU proper at the moment.

@MotherGooseUPus - and the Scarlet Witches whispers, "Only. One. Reality."
mountainman
mountainman - 9/25/2024, 2:07 PM
@MotherGooseUPus - Yeah my preference would just be to go the soft reboot route post Secret Wars and start the mutants off with a more foundational origin like the original five or the giant sized team. But I’m trying to temper expectations. As long as the stories and characters are good.

@mountainman - smaht man tempering your expectations.... lets see how the rest of the movies are leading up to Secret Wars ...

How about some Scarlet Witch and Wolverine action
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 9/25/2024, 1:10 PM
I hope not. I like Olsen but Wanda is boring as a protagonist. I think she's much better as a villain.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 9/25/2024, 1:19 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - she was awful as the villain in mom because none of it tracked with her characterization that transpired prior. It ignored Wandavision.
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 9/25/2024, 1:24 PM
@McMurdo - I mean yeah, the villain turn was quick but still more interesting than her post-Avengers Ultron roles as a hero.

Hmmmm , interesting if true though her having a supposedly main role in “ the Mutant Saga” doesn’t mean she’ll be center stage imo.

Anyway , I wonder what these apparent other 2 WandaVision spin-offs are…

The only thing I can think of is perhaps one focusing on S.W.O.R.D and the other on Darcy & Jimmy Woo (unless we finally getting that Ralph Bohner project lol).

One of them could be Monica related aswell.

@JustAWaffle - 5 I think.

@Order66 - I’m guessing the next Avengers movie is the capstone. It used to be so simple.

Instead of "No more Mutants!" perhaps we'll get "No! More Mutants."
Different but just as effective.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/25/2024, 1:33 PM
@tRuckRogers46A - lol ,maybe

However unless we get something in her upcoming appearances , it would be odd for her to want mutants all of a sudden unless she thinks they could be advantageous to her somehow
tRuckRogers46A
tRuckRogers46A - 9/25/2024, 1:34 PM
@TheVisionary25 - agreed. Let's see how Agatha plays out first.

The Witches' Road promises what you're 'missing' and not what you want. So is Agatha missing her powers or missing somewhere she can belong?
Same with Billy, is he missing powers or a family?
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/25/2024, 1:48 PM
@tRuckRogers46A - yeah , The Road gives you the thing you want the most which to both Agatha and “Teen” seems to their powers but as you said it could be deeper than that.

Perhaps the thing she wants most is her son Nicholas Stratch back while “ Teen” if he is Billy then it could be his “biological” mother Wanda?.

HashTagSwagg - 9/25/2024, 1:49 PM
@tRuckRogers46A - How would it be just as effective? this Wanda isn't a mutant and has no connection with them. She agreed to be a lab rat which gave (or "awakened") her powers. Now suddenly she's been a witch all along. She could snap mutants into existence with her realality warping BS but as a character she's got no reason/ motive to do it.
tRuckRogers46A
tRuckRogers46A - 9/25/2024, 1:59 PM
@HashTagSwagg - not yet she hasn't.
However, if it's revealed that she is a mutant (the mind stone activated her and her brother's
x-gene) and she wants her brother or real father back then I can see the possibility.
Marvel haven't been doing direct comic adaptations so the 'no, more mutants' line would be a spin on the expectation. Hence just as effective.
tRuckRogers46A
tRuckRogers46A - 9/25/2024, 2:01 PM
@TheVisionary25 - it's not what the characters want, it's what they are missing. Their wants and needs don't factor into it.
DocSpock
DocSpock - 9/25/2024, 2:32 PM
@tRuckRogers46A -

I thought Agatha was okay until that terrible singing number.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/25/2024, 2:51 PM
@tRuckRogers46A - I thought it was what they most desire or want , not what they are missing (though both aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive)

@tRuckRogers46A - Technically if her x-gene was activated by the mind stone, that still makes her a mutate (like every other non-mutant superhuman) not a mutant.
tRuckRogers46A
tRuckRogers46A - 9/26/2024, 1:40 AM
@TheVisionary25 - I'm gonna have to rewatch the first two episodes to check as 3rd ep goes with the what you want the most line.
DocSpock
DocSpock - 9/25/2024, 1:33 PM

I think it's only fair that she covers herself in whipped cream and asks for some noble volunteer to lick it all off.
