Elizabeth Olsen Urges Fans to Demand Scarlet Witch’s Return to the MCU
Elizabeth Olsen is stoking MCU buzz, hinting that Scarlet Witch’s return could be fast-tracked if fans rally for it—turning Wanda’s fate into a call to action.
Elizabeth Olsen just tossed a little gasoline on the Wanda speculation fire. Asked about when (or if) she will pop back up in the MCU, she basically said: if you want it, say it louder.
The tease
In a new Entertainment Tonight chat, Olsen was asked if fans are going to have to wait an 'eternity' for Scarlet Witch to return. Yes, that word choice is doing double duty because she has a movie called Eternity. Her answer was playful but pointed: maybe it depends on the crowd noise.
'I mean, I don't know. They might. Maybe they can petition.'
Entertainment Tonight even leaned into it on social, posting the clip on November 11, 2025 and joking that they are ready to sign.
Aubrey Plaza? Sure, but there is a wrinkle
Olsen also said she would be down to come back if it meant teaming up with Aubrey Plaza, calling the idea 'so fun' and saying she would love to reunite with a lot of people. Quick clarity check: Plaza is in the Agatha spinoff, Olsen is not, and Wanda has never crossed paths with Plaza's character in the MCU. Olsen and Plaza have worked together before, but not as Wanda and whoever Plaza plays in that corner of Marvel.
Why she keeps the door open
Olsen said one of the perks of doing franchise work is that you can return to the same cast and crew — it feels like a family you get to go back to. She has also said earlier this year, while promoting Eternity, that she loves playing Wanda, wants to return, and still has comic-book arcs she hopes to tackle on screen (she told People as much).
Where we left Wanda
The last time we saw Scarlet Witch was in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Marvel left her fate intentionally fuzzy. Translation: an exit if they want it, a comeback if they need it.
So, is a fan petition going to decide Wanda's next move? Probably not literally — Marvel has plans on plans — but Olsen just made it crystal clear she hears the noise. If you want Scarlet Witch back, now would be a great time to be loud about it.
