Just when fans thought Wanda Maximoff’s story ended at Mount Wundagore, a tiny Instagram post has reignited the entire fandom. Elizabeth Olsen’s own movement coach and stunt double, Jennifer White, shared a cryptic throwback story from her Marvel Studios days — and the timing couldn’t feel more suspicious.

Wanda hasn’t appeared on screen since her dramatic exit in *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*. Fans have long theorized she survived, and this new post has poured fuel on that fire, especially with two massive *Avengers* films on the horizon.

### What’s Fueling Scarlet Witch Speculation

Insiders report that *Avengers: Doomsday* is still filming additional scenes ahead of its December 18 release, while *Avengers: Secret Wars* production reportedly kicks off at the end of September. Add to that a mysterious Latverian Witch costume shown off at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, and theories about Wanda secretly working under Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom are gaining serious traction.

| Detail | Info |
| --- | --- |
| **Character** | Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch |
| **Actress** | Elizabeth Olsen |
| **Last Appearance** | *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness* |
| **Confirmed for Doomsday?** | Not officially |
| **Rumored Role** | Latverian Witch under Doctor Doom’s control |
| **Possible Redemption** | *Avengers: Secret Wars* |
| **Doomsday Release** | May 1, 2026 (per listing) / Dec 18 (reported filming window) |

### Why Would Make Sense

Wanda’s chaos magic is exactly the kind of reality-bending power the Multiverse Saga needs. One popular theory suggests **Doctor Doom** secretly saved her when Wundagore collapsed, then began siphoning her magic — which would explain his surge in power. That would set up a poetic redemption arc in *Secret Wars*, where Wanda breaks free and helps undo Doom’s Battleworld. For more background on Wanda’s on-screen mythology, you can check her entry on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_Witch).

Olsen has publicly denied returning, and directors have only offered a coy “we shall see” — but MCU stars covering their tracks is nothing new.
