New Reports Indicate When Wanda Will Return to the MCU—and How It’s Linked to Doctor Doom

As a seasoned Marvel fan who has weathered countless twists and turns, I can only express my excitement at the prospect of Wanda Maximoff gracing our screens once again. Her journey has been nothing short of captivating – from her complex transformation to her heart-wrenching demise. But alas, rumors of her return in Avengers: Doomsday have sparked a renewed sense of hope in the hearts of us fans.


Wanda Maximoff didn’t merely play a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; instead, her journey began as an antagonist, evolved into a protagonist, and ended up being a complex character with a deeply moving history. After enduring tremendous grief, she reverted to villainy, but later regained favor by destroying the Darkhold and, according to reports, choosing to end her own life.

The ending of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” left many questions unresolved, and it remains uncertain if Wanda is still part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe according to the latest announcements.

As a passionate fan, I can’t hide my excitement for Wanda’s anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Reports hint at her potential appearance in ‘Agatha All Along’ or the upcoming ‘Vision’ series. Yet, whispers in the fandom suggest that her comeback might be postponed a bit more than we initially thought.

According to a reliable source within the industry, MyTimeToShineHello, it’s been revealed that the character Scarlet Witch will be back in “Avengers: Doomsday,” and she’ll play a crucial part in the plot’s development.

It’s worth mentioning that the upcoming movie, “Avengers: Doomsday”, is set to have the Marvel Cinematic Universe characters squaring off against Doctor Doom, who is played by none other than Robert Downey Jr. in this instance.

Although it’s uncertain which plot the MCU will follow for the next movie, there’s a possibility that it could incorporate aspects from the “Children’s Crusade” comic arc, considering Wanda’s past encounters with Doctor Doom.

It’s been whispered that this plotline may link up with the character Wiccan, who is speculated to star in his own solo TV series. This could possibly pave the way for a solo film focused on Scarlet Witch.

Now that Wiccan has been introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by Joe Locke, it makes the speculation about this becoming true feel more probable.

In the story titled “The Children’s Crusade“, the Young Avengers undertake a quest to track down and confront Scarlet Witch, whose powerful manipulation of reality has led to widespread havoc. The consequences of her actions in the tales of “Avengers Disassembled” and “House of M” have had deep and lasting effects on the Marvel Universe.

In this narrative, it seems that Doctor Doom is trying to exploit Wanda for his personal objectives. His fascination lies in her abilities, considering them as a means to amplify his own power.

It seems quite plausible that in the storyline known as “Doomsday,” Doom might try to seize Wanda and drain her abilities to avert a catastrophic collapse of reality caused by incursions. By doing so, he may gain control over Scarlet Witch’s powers, which could then be used to establish Battleworld, leading us towards the events portrayed in “Secret Wars.

Previously, Doom utilized the Beyonder’s capabilities to fragment existence and create Battleworld, suggesting that Scarlet Witch might assume a comparable function within the MCU, considering her capacity to manipulate reality and her designation as a Nexus Being.
