10 MCU Movies & Shows Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch Could Appear In After Her 2025 Return

Elizabeth Olsen is coming back as a version of the Scarlet Witch in the next year, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has many exciting movies and series that would make sense for Wanda Maximoff to appear. Olsen’s Marvel character was last seen in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which had the Scarlet Witch seemingly die. Then, Agatha All Along teased that Wanda could return in future MCU projects, especially since the show featured one of her sons, Billy Maximoff.

The Scarlet Witch’s MCU journey is likely far from over, as Olsen wants to return as the character, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige recently commented on Scarlet Witch’s MCU return, saying, “We are excited to find out when and how Scarlet Witch can return.” Adding to that, Wanda will already be back in 2025, with Olsen set to play a different version of the character in the animated series Marvel Zombies. Following her Marvel return, Olsen’s Scarlet Witch could appear in several MCU projects.

10 Agatha All Along Season 2

The First WandaVision Spinoff Could Return For More

WandaVision has become one of the MCU’s best TV shows, making full use of the Disney+ platform. The series set up multiple characters for future projects, with Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness being its breakout character. That led to the witch’s solo series, Agatha All Along, which did not feature Wanda Maximoff’s MCU return, despite speculation. However, the Scarlet Witch was present in the show in different ways, with Agatha All Along teasing Wanda’s MCU return throughout the season.

At the moment, there are no plans for Agatha All Along season 2. However, Kevin Feige said Agatha All Along was great for Marvel Studios and that fans have since wanted to know more about Wanda. A second season could continue a popular project, with Billy Maximoff and the ghost Agatha Harkness finding Tommy and, surprisingly, Wanda along the way.

9 A Wiccan Solo Project

One Of The Scarlet Witch’s Sons Has Appeared In A Major Way

Even if Agatha All Along does not return for season 2, the series could still lead to Wanda Maximoff’s next MCU appearance. Agatha All Along‘s most important character besides Kathryn Hahn’s witch was Joe Locke’s “Teen.” After the reveal that he was really Billy Maximoff in the body of the deceased William Kaplan, the character became even more important, not only for the show but for the MCU’s future.

Since Agatha Harkness has died and become a ghost, her and Billy’s quest to find Tommy might not play out in a possible Agatha All Along season 2. Instead, the WandaVision spinoff could get a spinoff series of its own, with a new project focused on Locke’s Billy. Having Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch appear in a TV series starring one of her sons and with a story about finding the other would be fitting.

8 Vision

Paul Bettany’s White Vision Is Coming Back

Agatha All Along is not the only WandaVision spinoff planned by Marvel. After Olsen went on to star in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, WandaVision‘s other lead actor, Paul Bettany, will get another major starring role of his own in the future. Interestingly, Bettany will not appear in another character’s project but will rather headline Marvel Studios’ upcoming Vision series. The project will reportedly debut in 2026.

Bettany’s White Vision left Westview confused at the end of WandaVision. After some time has passed since the Hex version of Vision shared his memories with the character, it would make sense for White Vision to go after his lost family. The MCU’s Vision series could feature a heartwarming reunion between him and Wanda. Olsen’s powerful character could help him fight Ultron in what would be an exciting battle.

7 Avengers: Doomsday

The Scarlet Witch Could Help Stop Doctor Doom

There is no bigger project in the next two years that could feature the Scarlet Witch’s formal MCU return than Avengers: Doomsday. Wanda Maximoff could play two very different roles in the MCU movie. In Marvel Comics, after the Scarlet Witch was presumed dead, it was revealed that the character had been staying with Doctor Doom. Not only that, but the two characters had struck a romance. Robert Downey Jr. debuts as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday.

Elizabeth Olsen could return with a shocking twist if Marvel made Doctor Doom and the Scarlet Witch allies or even lovers. However, after her villain arc in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness proved to be controversial, a heroic return is more likely. Scarlet Witch’s immense power and multiverse knowledge make her a great asset for the Avengers against Doom.

6 Avengers: Secret Wars

The Multiverse Saga’s Finale

Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is a fan-favorite MCU character. As such, it would make sense for her to appear in both of the upcoming Avengers movies, especially if a Scarlet Witch redemption arc is to play out in the MCU. In the comics, Doctor Doom is initially victorious, being able to create Battleworld, a patchwork planet made of multiverse locations and characters. Avengers: Doomsday could end with Battleworld’s creation.

God Emperor Doom would be way too powerful for pretty much any MCU character to take on. However, Scarlet Witch’s reality-altering powers could be what is needed to beat the villain. Not only that, but Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff could also be one of the characters that manages to restore the multiverse after Doom is defeated. Saving the entire multiverse would surely allow Wanda to redeem herself for her multiversal killing spree.

5 Armor Wars

The Scarlet Witch Could Assist Another MCU Hero

Armor Wars is not typically a project that would need to feature Wanda Maximoff. The story evolved from a Disney+ series into a movie before the War Machine-centric project got stuck in development hell. The movie is currently in the same boat as Mahershala Ali’s Blade, with a lead actor set but no release date nor a production start in mind. However, adding major players like the Scarlet Witch could move things forward.

The way Wanda could end up being in Armor Wars is through White Vision. Paul Bettany’s original Vision was created based on Tony Stark’s A.I. assistant J.A.R.V.I.S. As such, it would make sense for White Vision to be involved in a movie that is meant to be about Iron Man’s legacy and Stark’s tech falling into the wrong hands. With the Scarlet Witch aiding War Machine, White Vision, and Ironheart, the villains would have no chance.

4 Young Avengers

A New MCU Team That Has Been Set Up

Instead of finding her children in a Wiccan project or Agatha All Along season 2, Wanda Maximoff could do so in a team movie or series. The MCU introduced many young heroes during the Multiverse Saga. After one of The Marvels‘ post-credits scenes made it clear that Kamala Khan is assembling her own team — which features Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop — the Young Avengers have to be debuting soon.

There is a key Young Avengers comic book story that would be perfect for uniting Wanda and her sons. Marvel Comics’ “Avengers: The Children’s Crusade” put Billy Maximoff in the spotlight, with the character going on a quest to find the Scarlet Witch and understand Wanda’s role in major Marvel Universe events. Billy was shown to be just as confused and curious about his mother’s whereabouts and actions in the MCU as he is in the comic book story, so a Young Avengers project could follow “The Children’s Crusade.”

3 X-Men

The Scarlet Witch Can Interact With Her Marvel Comics Father

Based on her popularity, Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch could remain an active part of the MCU for many years to come. After the Multiverse Saga ends, Marvel is set to debut its version of the X-Men. This could allow the MCU to get really comic book-accurate when it comes to Wanda Maximoff. The Scarlet Witch is a mutant in the comics, and both her and Quicksilver are Magneto’s children.

An MCU reboot is rumored to happen after Avengers: Secret Wars. Whether that happens or not, Kevin Feige recently said the X-Men are important to the MCU’s future. It seems like there will be a major focus on the team and mutants in general after the Multiverse Saga ends. This could allow Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch to be part of a whole new side of Marvel and develop a complex bond with Magneto.

2 Wonder Man

The Character Is Connected To Wanda In The Comics

Marvel Studios only recently confirmed that Disney+’s Wonder Man series is happening, releasing the first footage from the project. The superhero series takes a DC star, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and has the actor play the lead role of Simon Williams. The actor-turned-superhero will meet at least one other MCU character in his franchise debut, as Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery was revealed to be Simon’s friend in the show’s first teaser.

That could be expanded in the show, with more MCU characters appearing in Wonder Man. In the comics, Simon Williams and Wanda Maximoff have dated. The characters get together after Vision is put together without his memories. The setup is similar to the MCU’s White Vision story, so Wanda could make a surprise return and start a relationship with Simon Williams in Wonder Man next year.

1 A Scarlet Witch Movie

Elizabeth Olsen Can Anchor A Successful MCU Film

Finally, the best possible future MCU appearance for Elizabeth Olsen would be in a Scarlet Witch solo movie. WandaVision was a major success and is regarded by many as the MCU’s best TV show. Then, Olsen played the main villain in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with the movie ending its global box office run with $955.7 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

That is to say that projects where the Scarlet Witch plays a major role tend to do well for Marvel. WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer wants a Scarlet Witch movie to happen, and after Agatha All Along was also successful, she might just get her wish. A Scarlet Witch movie would allow Wanda to become an even bigger character in the MCU, and it would fit in with Vision getting a new solo project after WandaVision, with a movie being perfect to spotlight Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch.
