The Multiverse Saga’s massive ending event, Avengers: Secret Wars, is destined to feature the return of countless Marvel heroes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and beyond, but perhaps its most exciting possible return is that of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch. The culmination of Phase 6 will see the Multiverse torn apart, much akin to the 2015 comic book event of the same name on which the 2026 film is based, leaving endless possibilities for the sixth Avengers film. And, as one theory suggests, this may all be the fault of Wanda Maximoff, especially her horrific actions in her most recent MCU appearance.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw the MCU’s Scarlet Witch at her most powerful, taking on forces like the sorcerers of Kahmer-Taj and Earth-838’s Illuminati all by herself. Despite her villainous streak in the film as a result of losing her two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in WandaVision, Wanda eventually saw the light, using her immense power to destroy every Darkhold, the book that had corrupted her, from across the Multiverse. Although she seemingly died amidst her last-minute redemption, the Scarlet Witch seems primed for a triumphant return in Secret Wars, playing a pivotal role in the events that take place therein.
