In the end it was clear enough for the viewers Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that the version of Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) who we learned in the MCU had been killed at Mount Wundagore. But some fans wondered if she was actually dead.
Well, a new Marvel book titled Marvel Studios’ Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline confirmed that she is indeed dead. The book says: “[Wanda] destroys Wundagore – and causes it to collapse in on itself – ending two major threats to the entire Multiverse.
I assumed this was the case, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see Olsen in the role again as there are several variations of the Scarlet Witch in the multiverse. But the version of the character that was killed off is the one that has been built up in the MCU since her full introduction Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Wanda Maximoff has had a complex and emotional story arc in the MCU. Introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron Being a Sokovian orphan with her twin brother Pietro, Wanda initially opposes the Avengers due to resentment stemming from a Stark Industries missile. However, after realizing the true threat Ultron poses, she and Pietro team up with the Avengers. Pietro dies tragically during the conflict.
From the events of Captain America Civil War, Wanda’s powers cause an accident that results in civilian casualties, leading to the Sokovia Accords and further fracturing the Avengers. Wanda builds a relationship with Vision, but it is interrupted Avengers: Infinity War when she is forced to destroy the Mind Stone (and, in turn, the Vision) to stop Thanos. Thanos reverses time and takes the stone, killing Vision again.
In Avengers: Endgame, Wanda helps fight a past version of Thanos. Following this, the WandaVision The series delves into Wanda’s grief and trauma, manifesting a surreal sitcom world in Westview where Vision is seemingly alive. As the series continues, it becomes clear that Wanda’s magic, combined with her grief, has inadvertently trapped the city’s citizens. Eventually, she fully takes on the role of the Scarlet Witch and begins to understand her vast potential, setting the stage for what comes next. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
