When we last saw Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch in the MCU, the character was seemingly crushed by a collapsing temple in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.
Olsen played Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch for nearly a decade – appearing in three “Avengers” films, one “Captain America” film and headlining her own series “WandaVision”.
This being Marvel though, and her being an all powerful witch, it’s widely expected the character will return in some form in the near future.
Appearing at the Hamptons International Film Festival to promote her new film “Eternity,” Olsen tells People she’s very open to coming back to the Marvel machine:
“It is something that I love, and it’s something I always want to return to. I think the thing that’s been so special about the last five years is I’ve gotten to do so much with the character that I never thought I would.
There are still character through lines that have happened in the comics that I’d love to do that I think fans also want to. I mean, these movies aren’t for critics, these movies are for fans… the stories have only gotten better for me, my character. I really enjoyed it.”
She also spoke about superhero fatigue and how it’s not a big problem:
“Some people have ongoing television series that they get to return to. Very few, I feel like, get to be a part of franchises that, I know we might culturally get a little bit exhausted by, but there is something about them that becomes very familial. There’s nothing else really like it, and I don’t know that I’ll have [that] again unless it’s for an ongoing show. I do like that kind of consistency. It feels good. I mean, job security feels nice – I think we can all agree on that.”
“Eternity” will score a limited theatrical release on November 14th.
