Following the triumph of Wandavision and her sorrowful part in the follow-up movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, a recent rumor suggests that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe may get to see Wanda Maximoff again sooner than they could have imagined.
After portraying fan favorite Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, as the lead character of her own Disney+ series, Wandavision, the sequel to the first Doctor Strange movie took an intriguing turn. If comic book characters weren’t notorious for never standing still, the film’s plot would conclude with a redeemed Wanda giving her life in a dramatic moment that would be the last time viewers would ever see her, especially if there is no proof following the supposed death scene. When an MCU producer hinted that the character might still be around in the franchise in the future, the pile of conjecture became almost certain.
Following Kevin Feige’s hint that the character would remain in the MCU, fans have been clamoring for official word on plans, and a recent rumor may have delivered exactly that. Marvel Studios is presently seeking a director to lead a new Scarlet Witch film at the studio, according to information obtained by the X account MyTimeToShineHello. While no additional information is currently available, before a director is brought on board for a project such as this, quite a few things are typically in place, most notably a script. This rumor coincides with reports that Wanda’s death was definitively verified in the yet-to-be-released Agatha All Along teaser. Even though there is clear discrepancy between these stories, the MCU is not above using deceit to keep fans on their toes.

Wanda would not be the only Doctor Strange star to make a quick comeback to the MCU; the movie was one of the last successes the franchise enjoyed before the rumored superhero fatigue began to take a toll. Although there is a lot of excitement surrounding this project, it’s reasonable to say that demand isn’t quite as high as it could be. The forthcoming Agatha All Along series on Disney+, which will premiere at the end of the year without interference from other MCU projects, might possibly help it along and rekindle interest in the Scarlet Witch.That’s an optimistic assessment, though, as Agatha All Along has its own problems that arise from the studio’s overly protracted delay in making the decision. It’s possible that the oversaturation cleaning up keeps fan interest high because Disney has recently committed to a quality over quantity effort.
