Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) are engaged in an intense debate about the possible return of Wanda Maximoff, known as the Scarlet Witch. Since her last appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda has been isolated and dealing with serious mental health issues, leaving her future in the franchise up in the air. Although her return has not yet been confirmed, many believe it’s only a matter of time before she rejoins the universe.
What are the reasons for its return? WandaVision
Wanda was part of the original Avengers team, but after the events of Endgame, her path has been more focused on her own personal development, especially after the events of WandaVision. Fans have divided opinions on whether she should return to the Avengers team or if she would find a place in a group related to the X-Men, such as the Brotherhood of Mutants. “I don’t think the point of WandaVision was for her to embark on a dark path and abandon the Avengers. Rather, it was about a complex transformation that, although it presents her with many challenges, still keeps her connected to her former family of heroes,” commented a user on Reddit.
Some suggest that it could be narratively effective if Wanda returns at a crucial moment, similar to Thor’s spectacular appearance during the battle of Wakanda. This presentation could allow her to redeem herself while maintaining an emotional distance due to her past actions. However, there are those who believe that Wanda deserves a break after everything she has endured throughout her stories, arguing that her best option would be to reintegrate into a group where she can find support and connection.
As fans continue to speculate, the next release in the MCU, Captain America: Brave New World, is scheduled for February 14, as part of Marvel’s Phase 5.
