Marvel Studios keeps saying it, and fans keep not listening. Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is dead in the MCU, according to a new *VisionQuest* trailer. Yet rumours that she might appear in *Avengers: Doomsday* refuse to fade.

| Detail | Info |
| --- | --- |
| Character | Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch |
| Actor | Elizabeth Olsen |
| Status in MCU | Dead, per Marvel’s messaging |
| Latest hint | VisionQuest trailer |
| VisionQuest premiere | October 14, 2026 (Disney+) |
| Creator | Terry Matalas |

## What the Trailer Says Scarlet Witch?

In the new trailer, Vision recruits several MCU AIs in his own mind space, including his old enemy Ultron (James Spader). Ultron makes a jab about a “dead witch” who messed Vision up, which can only mean Wanda. That follows *Agatha All Along*, which also treated Wanda’s death as real after *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*, where she brought Mount Wundagore down on herself.

## Wanda Still Appears in Memories

The trailer includes archival footage from *Infinity War* and *WandaVision*, suggesting those are core memories Vision revisits. So Olsen’s character will still have a presence in the show, just not in the way fans hoped.

## Why Fans Aren’t Giving Up?

| Reason | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Perspective gap | *Agatha All Along* showrunner Jac Schaeffer said the death comments were from Agatha’s perspective |
| Same for Ultron | He and Vision weren’t at Mount Wundagore, so they can’t be certain |
| Marvel’s strategy | Pushing “she’s dead” could keep a surprise secret |
| Multiverse option | A variant could take her place, as Loki did in *Endgame* |

## What About Avengers: Doomsday?

Olsen isn’t expected back as soon as *VisionQuest*. But the *WandaVision* trilogy is reportedly important to *Doomsday*, and Wanda could be the missing link, particularly if a rumoured role as one of Doctor Doom’s Latverian Witches pans out. None of that is confirmed by Marvel.

## The Takeaway

Marvel has made its position clear, but the studio is also known for protecting big surprises. Until *Avengers: Doomsday* arrives, the safest answer is that Wanda is officially dead, and her fate is anything but settled in the minds of fans.
