As of January 2025, the future of Elizabeth Olsen’s portrayal of Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) remains a topic of considerable interest among fans. Olsen has expressed a willingness to reprise her role, provided the character is utilized effectively. In a September 2024 interview, she stated, “It’s a character that I love going back to when there’s a way to use her well… So if there’s a good way to use her I’m always happy to come back, however they can make that make sense.”
While there is enthusiasm for the character’s return, Olsen has emphasized the importance of meaningful storytelling. She noted that after her initial appearances, “people didn’t know what to do with me for a second there,” but later found “interesting ways of telling stories in ways they hadn’t yet.” She remains open to returning “if there’s a good way to use her.” In summary, Elizabeth Olsen is set to reprise her role as the Scarlet Witch in “Marvel Zombies” in 2025. Beyond this project, her return to the MCU will depend on the development of compelling storylines that do justice to her character.
