Elizabeth Olsen Dashes Hopes For Wanda In Avengers: Secret Wars

Well, if you were crossing your fingers for a Scarlet Witch comeback in Avengers: Secret Wars, here’s the bad news: Elizabeth Olsen has absolutely no idea what’s going on with that. Seriously. Even she’s in the dark.

Olsen on Marvel’s Plans: 'I Know Nothing'

Let’s break this down. During a recent fan convention, Olsen got the inevitable question about returning as Wanda Maximoff. Her answer couldn’t have been more straightforward:

'I know nothing. I know nothing about any of it.'

She was asked about both Avengers: Doomsday (which, let’s be real, isn’t even an official MCU title at this point) and Secret Wars. Her response: just as clueless as the rest of us.

Wait, Are There Two Secret Wars?

If you want proof that even Marvel stars get lost in the weeds sometimes, Olsen herself admitted she's confused by all the titles flying around right now:

'Is [Secret Wars] what happens after? I’m not kidding. Why did I think there were two Secret Wars? Are there not?'

In other words, if you’re confused, you’re not alone.

No News on Vision Quest Either

Olsen also straight-up said there’s no update about Vision Quest (that’s the supposed spinoff with Paul Bettany’s Vision, if you’ve lost track). She ran into Bettany recently, but apparently neither of them has heard a thing worth sharing with the world.

She’s Game to Return—But Only If the Part is Right

Don’t get despondent, Wanda fans. Olsen did say she’s thrown out ideas to Marvel for stories she’d actually want to do, and she’s open to coming back if the character is treated well. Her deal-breaker? The role has to be character-focused, not just tossing Scarlet Witch into a storyline for the sake of it.

That lines up with her past MCU work, where her favorite projects (hello, WandaVision) have dug deep into Wanda’s psyche, not just her power set.

Quick Recap: Olsen’s Scarlet Witch Journey

• First popped up in the post-credits stinger of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
• Became a real player in the following Avengers flicks—especially Infinity War and Endgame.
• Starred in WandaVision, easily one of Marvel’s best swings at character-driven TV.
• Her last outing was in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Wanda wasn’t exactly the hero (unless, I guess, you’re rooting for multiverse chaos).

Other Stories She’s Eying

If you’re into comic book deep cuts, Olsen once mentioned she’s interested in House of M’s storyline (imagine that madness making it onto Disney+). She also name-dropped wanting to team up again with Aubrey Plaza, fresh off her role in Agatha All Along.

So, What’s the Deal?

Bottom line: Elizabeth Olsen has no idea what Marvel’s got cooking for Wanda, and neither do we. If she comes back, it’ll be because someone actually gave her something interesting to work with—not because she’s contractually obligated to zap CGI monsters for two hours.

Marvel fans, adjust your expectations accordingly.
