Scarlet Witch’s future within the MCU appears to be in limbo proper now. Her dying is ambiguous sufficient to undo, however for now, the films and TV present tie-ins have been going ahead as if she is really useless.
On one hand, Olsen has said she’d play Wanda again if she thought the story was right. “Agatha All Alongside” additionally teed up the reunion of Billy and Tommy Maximoff, aka Wiccan (Joe Locke) and Velocity, with their mom. However Olsen/Wanda also wasn’t included in the cast list for the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.”

“TVA” is perhaps the final Wanda look followers can get for some time. However is that this truly the MCU Wanda? The comedian undoubtedly needs you to suppose it’s. Once more, her costume is an identical to “Multiverse of Insanity.” Within the preview pages under, Nightmare immediately references Wanda’s “dying” at Mount Wundagore, then claims the TVA saved and imprisoned her.
When Gwen confronts Wanda, imploring her to decide on goodness, Wanda says Gwen sounds just like the final individuals who tried to make her change. That might be Physician Stephen Unusual (Benedict Cumberbatch), America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), Reed Richards (John Krasinski), and Professor X (Patrick Stewart) from Earth-838, and so forth.

Shortly after the discharge of “TVA” #3, Pérez claimed in a since-deleted Instagram put up that the Wanda glimpsed within the comedian was the MCU model. “The opposite query, if it implies that this comedian is MCU continuity or every other points about how this ties in with the films or different comics, please ask the editor Jordan White, the author Katharyn Blair, or, I do not know … Kevin Feige?” he added.

However he then backtracked in a follow-up post, saying the precise reverse:
“Okay, I feel I have to make clear this: the Scarlet Witch that seems in our ‘TVA’ guide is NOT the MCU Wanda. That is a really comparable variant, please try the subsequent problems with the guide for additional info. I am sorry if I introduced any confusion with my earlier put up (which I’ve taken all the way down to keep away from extra confusion). So, that was me placing my foot on my mouth, as I do more often than not. MCU and Marvel Comics should not the identical factor.”
This is how I learn this. Katharyn Blair (who wrote for “Loki” season 2) is writing “TVA” as if it is canon to the MCU. The comedian makes use of the aesthetic and ensemble from the MCU’s TVA, together with black-and-orange uniforms and authentic characters like Miss Minutes. However the comedian is not formally sanctioned MCU “canon,” as a result of if the films do ever convey Wanda again, they will not bind themselves attempting to accommodate this comedian. Therefore, the “very comparable variant” cop-out Pérez used.
The Wanda Maximoff in “TVA” could not have the identical future because the “true” MCU one, nevertheless it looks as if she has the identical previous! At a sure level, arbitrary labels about “canon” turn out to be pedantic. If she seems and acts just like the Wanda Maximoff who Elizabeth Olsen performed, she would possibly as properly be.
