AfterAgatha All Along, Marvel fans are more excited than ever to see Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch return to theMarvel Cinematic Universe. Kevin Feige has kept his cards close to his chest, but recently, he opened up about Wanda’s future in the franchise. In an interview withOmelete(translated from Portuguese), Feige said:
We had Agatha All Along on Disney+ just now, and that series was great for us. Since then, many questions have remained in fans' minds about Wanda… So, all I can say is we are excited to find out when and how Scarlet Witch can return.
His words don’t reveal a whole lot about any future appearances of the Scarlet Witch, but he drew a connection between the success ofAgatha All Alongand the potential for Wanda to return.The popularity of the latest MCU series could inspire the powers that be to expedite her rejoining the franchise.Additionally, since her sons Billy and Tommy Maximoff are heavily implied to show up again soon, Wanda may not be far behind. Nothing has been formally announced, but that doesn’t those conversations aren’t happening behind closed doors. Feige may not be able to share any news yet.
What Kevin Feige’s Scarlet Witch Comments Mean
Feige’s statement confirms one major thing: Marvel not only knows fans want more Wanda, but they are also working on making it happen. The positive response to bothAgatha All Alongand specifically the introduction of WIccan bode well for the Scarlet Witch.Marvel is more aware than ever that she’s popular. It’s incredibly likely that her death will either be undone or revealed as a ruse in an MCU project moving forward. There are two likely candidates for the next production in which Wanda will appear.
Should Jac Schaeffer direct the rumored Scarlet Witch movie?
Following WandaVision and now Agatha All Along, Jac Schaeffer has certainly proven she knows how to create exciting MCU projects that learn in to the supernatural side of the universe. To that end, I wouldn’t be surprised and would love to see her being picked to direct the rumored Scarlet Witch movie. I don’t doubt for a second that Wanda Maximoff and her long-hoped-for MCU return would be safe in her hands.
Firstly,Vision Questfeatures her husband as the main character, and it will possibly also have Billy and Tommy. As such, her shadow looms over the series. It could bring her back, but even if it doesn’t, Wanda will probably matter to its story in some way. Secondly, she could show up inAvengers: Doomsday. Doctor Doom is a powerful magic user, having even been the Sorcerer Supreme. His path and Wanda’s could easily cross, especially given a popular fan theory that she could have crossed over into the same universe as the Fantastic Four.
Our Take On Kevin Feige’s Scarlet Witch Comments
Though Feige did not reveal anything specifically in the works with Wanda, she will likely be back on our screens soon. Her family is still alive and well, and her status as one of the most powerful magic users in the multiverse means she won’t be off the board for too long. TheMCUis unlikely to waste such a character as powerful and popular as the Scarlet Witch.
