MCU Chaos: Elizabeth Olsen Confirms Wanda Maximoff’s Original Ending Was VERY Different!
The Secret Ending Marvel Didn’t Want You to Know
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) thrives on shocking fans, and now we’ve uncovered one of its best-kept secrets. In a recent interview, Elizabeth Olsen—the talented actress behind the powerful and tragic Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch)—dropped a bombshell: the original ending planned for her character was completely different from what we saw in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
This revelation has sent shockwaves through the MCU fandom, sparking heated debates and wild theories. Why did Marvel change Wanda’s fate? Was it too controversial? Too revealing? Too game-changing? One thing is certain—what could have been might have reshaped the MCU’s future in ways we can’t even imagine!
A Darker, More Controversial Fate for the Scarlet Witch
In the final cut of Multiverse of Madness, we saw Wanda seemingly meet her tragic demise under the ruins of Mount Wundagore after a moment of self-awareness and remorse. But according to Elizabeth Olsen, the original plan for Wanda was far more complex—and much darker.
Reports suggest that Marvel originally envisioned an ending where Wanda survives but goes completely rogue, embracing her full villain arc in a way that would have made even Thanos look merciful. In this scrapped version, Wanda would have explored the darkest corners of the multiverse, hunting for an even greater source of power, hinting at a bigger cosmic threat yet to be revealed.
Why the change? Industry insiders believe that Marvel executives feared making one of their most beloved characters irredeemable. Given Wanda’s massive fanbase, turning her into a full-fledged villain might have been a risk they weren’t willing to take. Instead, they opted for an ambiguous fate—one that leaves the door open for a heroic redemption arc in the future.
What This Means for Wanda’s Future in the MCU
The biggest question now is: Is Wanda Maximoff really dead?
Fans refuse to believe that Marvel Studios would permanently eliminate one of the most powerful characters in the MCU—especially after her incredible character evolution in WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness. The lack of an on-screen corpse, the red energy flickering in the rubble, and Marvel’s history of reviving characters suggest that we haven’t seen the last of the Scarlet Witch.
What’s more, rumors are swirling that Elizabeth Olsen has already signed on for future projects, including potential appearances in Avengers: Secret Wars and a rumored Scarlet Witch solo project. If Marvel is planning a shocking comeback, Wanda could return even more powerful than before—perhaps as the key to unlocking the X-Men’s arrival in the MCU or even as the next major cosmic-level threat.
The MCU’s Most Divisive Twist Yet?
The decision to change Wanda Maximoff’s fate has left the Marvel fandom divided. Some argue that Marvel played it too safe, while others believe that her apparent sacrifice was a fitting end to her tragic journey—at least for now. But one thing is clear: Marvel has left the door wide open for her return, and when she does come back, it could be in a way no one expects.
The MCU’s future remains shrouded in mystery, but one thing is certain—Wanda Maximoff’s story is far from over. The only question left is: When will the Scarlet Witch return—and in what form?
