Marvel confirms Scarlet Witch’s fate after Multiverse of Madness – MCU fans react
Marvel fans have been speculating about Scarlet Witch’s fate ever since Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness left her presumed dead.
In a surprising development, Marvel has unveiled the fate of Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, following the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This revelation comes from the third issue of Marvel's TVA comic series, where Wanda is depicted lying inside a glass coffin, triggering intense reactions from fans.
The unexpected display of Wanda has sparked debates on social media over whether this comic is genuinely part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) canon, or simply an intriguing Easter egg with no lasting impact on future films. Unlike previous major reveals, Scarlet Witch’s appearance in TVA comes without any explanation or buildup, leaving fans uncertain about her actual place in the Marvel timeline.
Is the TVA Comic canon to the MCU?
The sudden appearance of the Scarlet Witch in the TVA comic has led to debates about its canonical status within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The series features characters like Miss Minutes and Mobius, and references events from the second season of Loki, suggesting a connection to MCU continuity. Artist Pere Pérez also confirmed that the Wanda Maximoff portrayed is intended to be the same as Elizabeth Olsen's MCU character.
Previously, Hollywood actress Elizabeth Olsen, known for portraying Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel universe, expressed her openness to reprise the role. Her most recent portrayal of Scarlet Witch was in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022).
Fans react: Is this really Wanda’s future?
The depiction of Wanda in a glass coffin has ignited discussions among fans. Some speculate that this sets the stage for her return in future MCU films, while others view it as a comic book narrative that may not impact the cinematic storyline. On Reddit, users expressed skepticism about the comic's influence on the MCU, noting Marvel's history of including Easter eggs in comics that don't always translate to the movies.
As the MCU's Multiversal Saga continues to unfold, the true fate of the Scarlet Witch remains uncertain. Fans eagerly await official confirmation from Marvel Studios regarding Wanda Maximoff's future in the cinematic universe, as they believe that the truth will be determined by Kevin Feige and the larger MCU storyline.
