Elizabeth Olsen willing to return as Scarlet Witch if Marvel can get it right

Elizabeth Olsen is willing to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Scarlet Witch if the character is used meaningfully.

Olsen, who has portrayed Wanda Maximoff in several MCU projects, stated in an interview with FM104, “It’s a character that I love going back to when there’s a way to use her well, and I think I have been lucky that when I started I was used well. I think people didn’t know what to do with me for a second there… if there’s a good way to use her I’m always happy to come back.” (via Deadline )

Elizabeth Olsen’s portrayal of Wanda has been crucial to the MCU, evolving from a secondary role to a key figure. After Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, she emphasizes needing a strong narrative for any return.

Olsen is open to a comeback but also values exploring roles outside the MCU. In 2023, she stated, “I don’t want… it’s not that I don’t want to be associated as just this character. But I really feel like I need to be building other parts back up for balance.” (via The Times )

As Olsen continues to explore other acting opportunities, her potential return remains a possibility if the right story emerges.
