A reporter asked Olsen which future storyline she would like for Wanda, and the star hesitated to answer. Instead, she explained that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige often uses feedback from actors to shape the narratives of the characters they play. Fans cheered when Olsen expressed an unreserved desire to return to the franchise.

“Well, honestly, if I were to tell you exactly what I would want, I think I would be spoiling something because Kevin Feige genuinely asks us what we want to do with the character, and then he does it. So, I don’t know if I can share. I just want to come back.”

Fans shared video footage of Olsen’s comments on Twitter.

Olsen’s spoiler delighted her fans and sent them into a frenzy of anticipation.

Yet another fan speculated that Olsen has already signed on for the next film in the franchise.

For months, there has been buzz that Olsen will return to the role of Wanda Maximoff. However, there was no official confirmation of the rumors from Marvel Studios. Fans were unsure if it was possible in light of Maximoff’s demise at the end of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. 

But Maximoff is a witch, after all, and what would be the point of the multiverse if characters didn’t continue to exist in different timelines? There are myriad ways the Scarlet Witch could return in future projects. Each one is as intriguing as the next.
