Elizabeth Olsen Scarlet Witch Movie Release Date Not Coming Soon

Key Takeaways

  • A Scarlet Witch solo film is not on the MCU slate soon due to a crowded schedule.
  • Elizabeth Olsen‘s character may feature in Vision Quest, Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret Wars.
  • Fan interest remains high for Scarlet Witch despite being portrayed as a villain in Doctor Strange 2

As a seasoned Marvel enthusiast with over two decades of comic book and movie-watching under my belt, I must say, I’m finding myself at a crossroads with the Scarlet Witch. The wait for her solo film has been long, and it seems it might stretch even further into the future. Yet, as I’ve learned from countless story arcs in the Marvel Universe, patience is indeed a virtue.


For quite some time now, there’s been a strong desire to see Elizabeth Olsen portray Scarlet Witch, or Wanda Maximoff, in her own standalone movie. However, a recent whisper in the wind indicates that this project might not be featured on Marvel Studios’ upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe lineup.

After wrapping up the events of “WandaVision” with Wanda freeing the residents of Westview from her enchantment and retreating into self-imposed exile, she resurfaced as a villain in “Doctor Strange 2,” driven by darkness due to the influence of the Darkhold. Her objective was to seize America Chavez’s power to traverse the multiverse, seeking a realm where her children, Billy and Tommy – who originated from the same hex that transformed Westview into a sitcom dimension but were lost when she ended the spell – could be found. Recognizing her mistakes, Wanda ultimately sacrificed herself to bring down Mount Wundagore (the source of the Darkhold’s power) and annihilate every existing copy of the Darkhold in the multiverse.

Despite the tragic end of the character, fans are eagerly anticipating a standalone movie for Scarlet Witch from Marvel Studios. Although there’s talk about this project in development, Alex Perez from The Cosmic Circus hinted that we might have to wait a while before seeing Scarlet Witch’s solo film. With D23 Brazil coming up on November 8-10, some fans are hopeful that Disney will finally confirm a Scarlet Witch movie, but Perez mentioned that such an announcement won’t be happening at D23 or any time soon due to Marvel Studios having numerous ongoing projects.

As an avid follower, I can’t help but eagerly anticipate where my beloved character’s tale leads next, with Secret Wars looming on the horizon. Rest assured, her journey will continue and her time will come; all we need is a tad more patience to unveil the secrets that lie ahead.

Despite not having a Scarlet Witch solo movie set for release until after Avengers: Secret Wars, Elizabeth Olsen may still portray her character in other Marvel Cinematic Universe projects before that time. Rumors suggest that Olsen’s Scarlet Witch might appear in the Disney Plus series Vision Quest, serving as the third installment of the trilogy initiated by WandaVision and followed by Agatha All Along. This series focuses on Paul Bettany’s Vision after the events of WandaVision. It has also been reported that Olsen’s Scarlet Witch plays a significant role in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, which are slated for theater release on May 1, 2026, and May 7, 2027, respectively.

Although it appears that spectators may need to endure the conclusion of Avengers: Secret Wars before witnessing a Scarlet Witch standalone film, whispers indicate that the Scarlet Witch will continue to feature in numerous projects within the Multiverse narrative. Since her introduction in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the character’s popularity has skyrocketed, and some fans were displeased when she was portrayed as a villain in Doctor Strange 2, engaging in actions (such as murder) that are difficult for some to forgive. The writers attempted to shift some of the blame by revealing that Scarlet Witch was influenced by the Darkhold, but many fans still yearn for a redemptive storyline for this character. However, others believe she should remain a villain upon her return. Ultimately, there is substantial fan anticipation for the characters’ comeback, and Marvel Studios might benefit from fulfilling these expectations.

WandaVision and Agatha All Along are available on Disney Plus.
