The future MCU movies, and Olsen has an idea.

Speaking to MCU's best offerings. Check out the full quote below:

“You know, when I think about my dream version [of Wanda], it’s like 50 years later, and I have white hair— such a big, massive white wig—and gnarly face of wrinkles doing like a Tracy Ullman thing. And I am just like a creature that they find. And that’s how I imagine Wanda’s next journey.

It’s something I have quite literally pitched. Because it would be so fun to get to do that to me. I mean, I guess in one of the comics, she ages quite quickly, and I think those are the images that are implanted in my brain next because I haven’t done it."

What Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch Return Comments Mean

Wanda Maximoff Has A Lot Of Potential Left

After WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Olsen's Scarlet Witch has become one of the MCU's most popular characters. With Marvel teasing in Agatha All Along that Wanda might not be dead after all, as well as Olsen wanting to return to the franchise, the Scarlet Witch will likely come back sooner rather than later. It is interesting that Olsen not only wants to return as Wanda, but also has a whole story for how that could happen. More than that, she has even pitched it to people at Marvel.

Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch makes her return in 2025, and the MCU has the perfect way for Wanda Maximoff to appear in Avengers: Doomsday.

Two logical projects for the Scarlet Witch's return to the MCU are Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. In the comics' Children's Crusade storyline, Wanda is revealed to be alive after she is presumed dead. The Scarlet Witch was living happily with Doctor Doom. The MCU's Avengers movies could go for a version of that story, with Wanda being found as the weaker and older version of the character that Olsen pitched by Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, who gets her back to health. In the interview, Olsen responded with, "Yeah," to having time to talk to the Russo Brothers.

The Actress' Idea For Wanda's MCU Return Is Intriguing

I did not think about an older version of Wanda being the setup for her next MCU appearance until now. However, I believe that Olsen's idea makes a lot of sense for the Scarlet Witch's story. She had to use a lot of her power to destroy all Darkholds across the multiverse. This could have left Wanda in a weakened state, with the dark magic she used making her grow old. It's the perfect setup to try something fresh with the Scarlet Witch, and if Doctor Doom were to help her, she could be his ally in the Avengers movies.
