There are rumors that Elizabeth Olsen is having her own solo Marvel movie. And a familiar face from WandaVision will reportedly be joining the rumored film.
Olsen made her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). She and her twin brother Pietro Maximoff (Aaron Tyalor-Johnson) were shown in a Hydra facility. She made a full appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and has since appeared in multiple MCU movies, including Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). Olsen also starred in her own Disney Plus series, WandaVision, in 2021. Olsen’s portrayal of Scarlet Witch makes her one of the most compelling and favorite characters in the MCU. Fans even want her to have her own film and it appears to be happening.

Movie insider MyTimeToShineHello claims on X that Olsen will have her own solo film. WandaVision and Agatha All Along writers Jac Schaeffer and Megan McDonnell are reportedly working on the script and Marvel is reportedly planning to release it in 2026. Wanda will reportedly face an old adversary in Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha Harkness. At present, Agatha is allied with Wanda’s son, Billy Maximoff, so there are also chances that they will put their differences aside and join forces to beat a common enemy.
Many thought that Wanda died in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and did not survive the destruction of Mount Wundagore when she decided to sacrifice herself and destroy every copy of the Darkhold across the universe. Even Olsen was convinced her character was already dead. The WandaVision actress appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and was asked about her fate in the MCU. “I think I’m dead,” she said, explaining that there was a red light of explosive energy, suggesting Wanda was indeed dead. However, Olsen expressed interest in returning to the MCU, saying they had to “figure out how to cleverly be undead.” “We need to find the smartest writers to figure out how to make this all make sense,” Olsen added.
Scarlet Witch is a powerful character in the MCU and she has the richest story arcs. She deals with grief, love and loss after Vision’s death and a solo film could explore these elements further. Also, there are numerous storylines that would make compelling plots to highlight Wanda’s struggles with power, identity, and redemption, like House of M or Avengers Disassembled. Scarlet Witch has gained her own faithful followers who have been waiting for her solo film, so it is high time that Marvel gives in to that request.
MCU fans love Olsen’s portrayal of Wanda. Olsen has received praise for her performance because she handles the complex character well and balances the emotional storytelling with action-packed scenes. Additionally, Wanda’s dark and emotional story with mystical elements could cater to those who enjoy the psychological aspects of the MCU. Given the overwhelmingly positive reception of Olsen’s MCU projects, a Scarlet Witch solo movie will likely receive the same response from her avid fans.
WandaVision streams on Disney Plus.
