Will Wanda Maximoff return in Avengers: Doomsday? (read body text)

Obviously no one knows fully what is going to happen with Avengers Doomsday but I was wondering if they're are any sources, clues or leaks that show that Wanda is going to be revived or brought back in Avengers Doomsday

She could possibly be revived by Dr. Doom or Franklin if she is dead.

Hopefully this isn't a dumb post lol.

No.

You’re better off looking in one of the [spoilers](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers/), [leaks](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeaksAndRumors/), or [theories](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelTheories/) subreddits.

Elizabeth Olsen says she's not in it, but it might be an Andrew Garfield situation. She might be in it, she might not. No official confirmation.

ShaneH76462025-12-30 23:43

She will be in a trailer next week with her 2 kids, followed by hulk and his son and so on, for the next 50 weeks

SimonShepherd2025-12-31 09:02

Turns out Doomsday's plot is about the population and demographic collapse.

DuckyHornet2025-12-31 22:59

Red Skull: "Oh how very convenient the good Herr Artz von Doom eliminated entire realities filled with perfect Aryan specimens! And his new combined reality has imported a Chilean version of the fool Richards."

TrainingSevere15942025-12-31 09:22

I hope so because I've been dying to see more of her since Multiverse of Madness which kinda ruined her character not gonna lie but hopefully she has a redemption ark.

N3rdism2025-12-31 19:59

She doesn't even have to appear as the MoM villain Wanda, if the next 2 are about incursions and a reset, she could very well play the version whose kids MoM-Wanda tried to steal, fighting to make sure the same thing never happens again kind of thing

Helpful_Attempt_84962026-01-03 17:20

Multiverse of madness shouldn’t even be canon

TrainingSevere15942026-01-03 23:00

agreed

Mammoth-Activity-2142026-01-23 02:05

Multiverse of madness isn’t cannon and I don’t care who says otherwise

TrainingSevere15942026-01-25 11:37

agreed

Bigbigbigrock2025-12-31 04:12

I assume she's in Secret Wars. Children's Crusade is the Young Avengers run where the team goes to find Wanda to help with a problem. With the seeming leak of Kathryn Newton wearing a Doomsday hat, I think they're tessing the YA/Champions in Doomsday to set up an adaptation of Children's Crusade for Secret Wars. Subplot of the team looking for Wanda to help fight Doom.

OutrageousCan3662026-01-03 06:58

They're introducing the Young Avengers and Kamala is recruiting them (for now it's just her, Kate Bishop and Cassie Lang). The Children's Crusade is the perfect scenario to make them a team and give Wanda the justice she deserves, not the injustice MoM did to her.

AndarianDequer2025-12-31 21:34

To be honest, she's a weird character to try to keep a secret. Keeping somebody like Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire...well hell, even somebody like Robert Downey Jr are the types of people you want to keep a surprise as long as possible.

I feel like trying to keep a surprise wouldn't raise the stakes or make it more exciting in any way for me.

Zaladin032025-12-30 18:31

If she is, it would have to be explained how she's back. Which could easily be franklin but I don't know want an anticlimactic return of her like that.

The-Mandalorian2025-12-30 18:39

I’m confused, is this not the multiverse saga? Why does it have to be Wanda 616 specifically?

Zaladin032025-12-30 18:42

Well I didn't say it had to be. i just answered their question because it's based off 616 Wanda.

Odd-Spray-85132025-12-31 15:07

616 is the only one who used the Darkhold and unleashed her innate reality manipulating Chaos Magic (as far as we know).

Other Wandas may not hold the power to be able to challenge/assist Doom

Defiant-Band45732026-01-06 14:43

Because the 616 Wanda is the most interesting and Elizabeth Olsen is so good at playing her angst which she would have plenty of.

The-Mandalorian2026-01-06 14:59

How do you know 616 is the most interesting?

Defiant-Band45732026-01-06 16:37

The 616 Wanda has an ongoing story arc that needs to be finished. In addition, I am curious what they will do with her in regard to MoM.

PotentialAnt96702025-12-30 19:28

"Somehow the Scarlet Witch will return in Avengers: Doomsday"

DisastrousSecond95722025-12-31 18:02

There was the poof of red when the mountain collapsed on her, there doesn’t need to be that much of an explanation.

Zaladin032025-12-31 18:46

Yeah but kind of the rule of Marvel is that if the body isn't shown to be dead, they could still be alive. Even in that rule, we see time travel can make keep a past or future version alive, like Loki for instance. Ultron, Red Skull, Vision, Gamora, The Ancient One, and Wong are all examples of these.

OutrageousCan3662026-01-03 07:07

Another thing is that Rio Vidal never confirmed that Wanda is dead, she just used a rather ambiguous line about Wanda. Basically, Rio just mention that "Wanda is gone", she never says that she's actually dead.

Also, Vision was dead. They just revive him.

Zaladin032026-01-03 16:04

Yup

CrustedTesticle2025-12-30 18:52

She needs to.

artfrche2025-12-31 09:58

if not doomsday then secret wars. I’m expecting her to be back in VisionQuest in some capacity then secret wars

faanawrt2025-12-30 19:04

I'm not expecting we see Wanda again until after Secret Wars, but if she returns anytime soon I would expect her return to be in VisionQuest rather than the Avengers movies. Since WandaVision, Agatha All Along, and VisionQuest are supposed to act as a trilogy, it would make a lot of sense for VisionQuest to conclude with the Maximoff family having some sort of reunion.

pennygirl1082025-12-30 21:33

I really like how AAA didn’t rely on cameos and instead had faith in the chemistry and dynamics between Agatha, Billy and Rio to carry all the big story beats and emotional moments. If vision quest can’t do the same then it indicates that the higher ups at marvel don’t have confidence in these lead characters the same way. Vision, ultron and Tommy are the leads and deserve the chance to prove themselves and tell their own story like the cast of AAA was lucky enough to.

Super-Visor2025-12-30 19:12

I think we’ll see Olsen back as Scarlet Witch, daughter of Magneto in the X-Men universe

Burgoonius2025-12-30 21:10

The thing is that would make absolutely no sense considering this is the same original Xmen universe and there was never any mention of Magneto having a daughter named Wanda. I think it would be a HUGE stretch

artfrche2025-12-31 09:57

are you sure ? really sure ? which original x-men ? the one where cyclops died in the last stand or the one where he is alive after DOFP?

Burgoonius2025-12-31 10:34

Why does it matter? The only thing that changed because of DOFP is Scott and Jean are alive. It wouldn’t have any affect on Magneto suddenly having a Wanda as a daughter

artfrche2025-12-31 12:40

because it’s literally a multiverse movie… 🙄

Helpful_Attempt_84962026-01-03 17:19

This will make or break the movie for me. If Ian McKellen doesn’t address Wanda as his daughter then there will be no point to this movie.

legion_XXX2025-12-30 19:33

Olsen is done with live action mcu. She said she has to explore more roles and didnt want to be the villain.

MAY013372025-12-30 19:34

She's already pivoted and said she wants to return as Wanda more recently

Marvel star Elizabeth Olsen has told fans not to expect her return in Avengers: Doomsday, despite the actress being keen to reprise her role as Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch.

Speaking to The Playlist, Olsen said she was "proud" of her time as Maximoff, but was unsure when she would next play the character — even if she was looking forward to doing so.

"I don't have an answer for that," Olsen said when asked when viewers will see Wanda again. When told that Marvel fans will assume she'll appear in next year's star-studded Avengers: Doomsday, Olsen replied: "Well, I can't."

Not really a pivot, more of an explanation.

OutrageousCan3662026-01-03 07:11

Didn't Chris Evans said he wasn't going to play Steve Rogers anymore? Because he's going to play Steve Rogers in Doomsday.

legion_XXX2026-01-03 13:29

Yeah and then he said he was coming back. Olsen hasn't said she was coming back, just that she would IF wanda wasn't a villain.

Defiant-Band45732026-01-06 14:53

That tells us that Marvel is the issue not Elizabeth Olsen. They keep teasing that she is alive and coming back. Yet they have taken no concrete actions. It is all hot air. The question that I would have is whether Marvel is lying.

MHullRealtr772025-12-30 20:00

She just said that she loves being Wanda and is really wanting to come back to the role.

TheMegaWhopper2025-12-30 19:39

I think Vision Quest will give us more insight

BraxtonFullerton2025-12-30 20:36

Since the teasers are dropping with the focus on children, I think the twins might be a target of Doom... Maybe Strange is able to bring her back for Secret Wars.

MHullRealtr772025-12-30 19:59

I don't see Wanda being in Doomsday, unless they tease her at the very end.

I think they're slowly setting up her return with Billy and Tommy getting new bodies, and the Vision show which will feature both sons. I think the ending of that show will hint towards the next thing with Wanda's return.
They'd be stupid to not include her in Secret Wars

EdgeOfSauce2025-12-30 20:12

Depends. One thing I know and is true most of the time is if you don't see a character die on-screen, then they're not dead.

imin20992025-12-30 22:27

my guess is if she is in it shes a variant, part of the xmen universe

OutrageousCan3662026-01-03 07:02

We didn't see Wanda's corpse in MoM (unlike the Tony, Gamora and Natasha's deaths) and Rio Vidal never said that Wanda is dead, just "she's gone", which it's telling considering who Rio actually is.

Grayx_28872025-12-30 23:11

I haven't heard shit. I don't think we got anything on Elizabeth Olsen saying she's coming back to the MCU.

_StrangeIsLife_2025-12-30 23:30

There's still that thing with her kids. I bet she's in it or will at least come back at one point. I doubt she's even dead.

QueenOfTremembe2025-12-31 01:23

I hope not, Wanda got a fitting ending in Multiverse of Madness after so much death and suffering she caused.

retrospects2025-12-31 03:49

I can confidently say 🤷🏻‍♂️

Foreign_Town68532025-12-31 04:23

There will be a father's day teaser of her and magneto together

Helpful_Attempt_84962026-01-03 17:23

I will die

hauntingduck2025-12-31 05:00

I very much doubt it. A movie can only have so many characters and still be even remotely decent. People think everyone and their mother are going to pop up in this film when frankly, if that happened it'd be the worst movie Marvel ever made.

Defiant-Band45732026-01-06 16:26

Marvel would be crazy not to bring her back. First of all, she is one of the most popular characters in the MCU. Despite the issues, MoM made more money than the Thor movies and Captain America movies. The exception was Civil War which was a unofficial Avengers movie. In addition, she fits into the movie via The Children's Crusade where Wanda is with Doom. Then you have to finish her dark story arc.

TheJack0fDiamonds2025-12-31 18:25

Love the collage ending at WV. What a glorious 5 sec suit. Sorry for being petty but we don’t acknowledge DS2 in my household. As far as I’m concerned her story ended at WV and will pick up from there whenever the hell she comes back. The DS2 Waldron Wanda may as well have been a variant. A fever dream.

If Marvel loves money, they’d bring her back in SW, even if its a variant to please the comic book fans since marvel is currently in their fan service era. Give them the ‘nO mOrE mUtAnTs’ moment they’ve been clamoring so much for and be done with it so we can move on and have her be a hero that she is.

Reminder she is currently the sorcerer supreme. If we’re gonna pull the source material card.

John200xw2026-01-01 08:08

she admitted she was shooting something in england when the avengers shooting started, so I think there is a good chance, but I think it would be something small, like a post credit scene to tease for another movie

Defiant-Band45732026-01-06 16:32

There are a variety of ways that they could sneak her in if they wanted to. For example, they could film her scenes in Los Angeles.

Street_Barracuda_7262026-01-02 01:56

Unfortunately, she is not coming back. She wants to get away from Marvel and do other projects and i think that's great! Everyone else stars in a variety of movies. I wish her well.

TrainingSevere15942026-01-02 09:34

Maybe your right but I thought I heard her say in an interview maybe last year or the year before or something that she really wants to do another project

Street_Barracuda_7262026-01-03 08:18

That's what I just said! She wants to do other projects!

TrainingSevere15942026-01-03 09:26

sorry I meant another marvel project

KryptoMadChris2026-01-16 00:56

She won't be in it, remember doomsday is about all the heroes loosing. With how powerful she is it would be realistic, she'll be part of his downfall though
