Ever since her introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2014, the character arc of the Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen, has been a rollercoaster ride. First appearing in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” she was portrayed as a budding villainess confined in a cryptic prison. Her character took a dark turn in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” in 2015, where she was under the control of the malevolent super-robot, using her mystical powers against the superheroes of the film. Eventually, she chose the path of heroism, fighting alongside the Avengers in “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” and “Avengers: Endgame.” Like in the comic books, she also sparked a budding romance with the Vision, a more ethical super-robot, portrayed by Paul Bettany.
However, following her therapeutic TV series “WandaVision,” the Scarlet Witch reverted to her dark magic to realize her dream of a suburban life with her two sons. She transformed into a demonic, murderous villain in the 2022 film “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Despite this, Olsen reprised her role in the animated series “What If…?” in 2023, leading many to believe that her character may have been retired.
According to /Film, Bettany’s character, Vision, is set to return in his own series, under the supervision of Terry Matalas, slated for a 2026 release. The last glimpse of Vision showed him being reconstructed by S.W.O.R.D. as a ghostly, milk-white android, tasked with eliminating an artificial double. Recent reports suggest that the defeated Ultron may resurface as the show’s antagonist. The series may be titled “Vision Quest,” but this is yet to be confirmed.
Meanwhile, Deadline has hinted at the possible return of the Scarlet Witch, though no specific details have been provided.

It’s important to note that Deadline is simply inferring the return of the Scarlet Witch due to her long-standing romantic relationship with Vision. In the original Marvel Comics, their romance has been a key plot point for many years and has been a significant aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Indeed, when Thanos, the power-crazed extraterrestrial, killed Vision in “Infinity War” in 2018, Scarlet Witch was plunged into a state of profound grief. In her despair, she unintentionally used her magic to resurrect Vision and create their ideal, sitcom-like suburban reality inside a reality-altering bubble over a small American town.
The escapades within that bubble and the Witch’s journey through her grief was the focus of “WandaVision.” Even though Vision was deceased, he played a significant role in the series. After being rebuilt, he embarked on a journey to discover himself and become more human. The upcoming Vision-centric TV series will trace his journey.
Meanwhile, the Scarlet Witch is believed to be dead following the events of “Multiverse of Madness.” By the end of the film, she found a way to enter a parallel universe, where her sons from “WandaVision” were real. However, when they became scared of her, Wanda realized her evil transformation and destroyed the black temple where she nearly killed a young woman, possibly crushing herself in the process.
If Wanda does appear in “Vision,” it would pose a challenge for the writers. But it might not be as difficult as it seems. Given the complexities of the multiverse, it would be easy to pull as many Wandas as Terry Matalas requires from a parallel universe.
