Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch's MCU journey was cut short when she died at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, there is no way she will not be back.

Many theories about MCU's Avengers movies could reveal that the Scarlet Witch was alive all along.

The MCU's Wanda Maximoff Story Gains A Surprise New Chapter

Scarlet Witch in TVA captivity in Marvel Comics

Olsen's Scarlet Witch is alive and has returned, but not in the way I would have expected it to happen. Instead of doing so in an MCU movie or TV show, the character came back in Marvel Comics. In "TVA could pave the way for Wanda's MCU future.

How Scarlet Witch's TVA Return Could Lead To An Avengers: Doomsday Role

Wanda Is Valuable To The MCU In Many Ways

It would make sense for the TVA to be holding the MCU's Scarlet Witch. After Loki season 2, the organization is now in charge of protecting the multiverse. Given her past multiversal rampage, Olsen's Wanda Maximoff is a danger to all universes. If the MCU's Scarlet Witch is the same one in the TVA comic book story, or they are variants who share a similar fate, then Avengers: Doomsday would have a very easy path to bringing Wanda back into the fold. I think she could be the TVA's "break glass in case of emergency" weapon.

Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch has returned in an incredibly unexpected way that explains how she could be alive in the MCU's Multiverse Saga.

When Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom wreaks havoc across the multiverse, the Avengers will need all the help they can get. Doom is one of Marvel Comics' most talented magic s. As such, the MCU's heroes would be up against a villain well-trained in magic and with vast multiverse knowledge, which makes Olsen's Scarlet Witch the perfect character to take him down, as she also possesses the same features. Like in the comic book, the TVA could play a role in Avengers: Doomsday by putting together a multiversal team of heroes. That is perfect for Scarlet Witch's MCU redemption journey.
