Wanda’s Return in Avengers: Doomsday? Elizabeth Olsen Says She’s Just as Confused as Fans

Just when Marvel fans thought they’d cracked the Scarlet Witch mystery, Elizabeth Olsen threw a curveball. Speaking at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, the actress addressed swirling rumors about Wanda Maximoff popping up in Avengers: Doomsday, and her answer was refreshingly honest: she has no clue either.

Olsen admitted she hasn’t been briefed on either Avengers: Doomsday or the follow-up Avengers: Secret Wars, joking that the only insider info she has comes from bumping into co-star Paul Bettany. She even seemed unsure about the franchise’s own timeline, questioning aloud whether there were two Secret Wars films in the works.

Of course, actors dodging spoilers isn’t new — studios like Marvel guard plot details fiercely, and cast members often stay tight-lipped until an official announcement drops.

Where Wanda left off?

Fans last saw Wanda in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where grief pushed her toward the Darkhold in a desperate bid to reunite with her children from another universe. She ultimately destroyed every copy of the cursed book and brought Mount Wundagore down on herself — a moment widely read as her sacrifice, though Marvel has never officially confirmed the character’s fate.
