Elizabeth Olsen Wants to Return as Scarlet Witch
Scarlet Witch, one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most powerful characters, may soon make a comeback. Elizabeth Olsen, who plays the character, confirmed in a recent interview that she is ready to return to the role. Olsen emphasized both her commitment to the character and the vast number of stories still left to be told in the Marvel universe.
Scarlet Witch Could Return
Speaking to PEOPLE, Elizabeth Olsen made it clear that she has no intention of relinquishing her role as Scarlet Witch. “It’s something I love and a character I’ve always wanted to return to,” Olsen said, adding that she’s discovered much more depth to Wanda Maximoff’s story over the past five years than she ever expected. According to the actress, there are still many details from the comics waiting to be adapted, and she believes fans want to see them.
Olsen also addressed criticisms of superhero films. Acknowledging some circles’ weariness with the genre, the actress said, “These movies aren’t made for critics, they’re made for fans. From my perspective, the stories have become increasingly satisfying,” emphasizing that the genre still has a strong audience.
Olsen also noted that Marvel films foster a long-lasting family atmosphere, saying, “Some people are in long-running series, but few are in a universe so culturally enduring. That sense of togetherness is truly special.” The actress humorously added that this stability gives her confidence and that “job security” is a good feeling for everyone.
Rumors about Elizabeth Olsen’s Marvel future continue to circulate. Some sources suggest the actress will reprise her role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Some even suggest that Scarlet Witch could appear in the new films as Doctor Doom’s bride or, in the X-Men universe, as Magneto’s daughter. Whatever the case, Elizabeth Olsen’s desire to return with her red cape is considered an exciting development for both fans and Marvel.
