The latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Agatha All Along, has confirmed the heartbreaking fate of Wanda Maximoff, popularly known as the Scarlet Witch. Debuting this week, the series asserts that Wanda, portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen, is indeed dead, following her tumultuous journey that began with Avengers: Age of Ultron and concluded with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Fans have long speculated about Wanda’s return, given her immense power and potential role in future MCU narratives, particularly in anticipated story arcs like Doomsday and Secret Wars. However, Agatha All Along leaves little room for hope, emphasizing that the character’s arc has come to a tragic end.
Throughout Agatha All Along, the complicated relationship between Agatha Harkness and Wanda is explored further. In the series premiere, Agatha investigates a mysterious body found in the woods, which viewers are led to believe belongs to Wanda. Descriptions of the body—featuring green eyes, scarlet hair, and a similar outfit to Wanda’s—confirm the speculation surrounding her demise. The show’s narrative cleverly interweaves Agatha’s memories, reinforcing the idea that Wanda’s death is a necessary element for Agatha’s own story progression.
Moreover, this isn’t the first instance in the MCU that hints at Wanda’s fate. An official timeline book released by Marvel previously noted her demise, stating that she collapsed Wundagore Mountain upon herself, eliminating two major threats to the multiverse.
Even Elizabeth Olsen has addressed her character’s end, expressing her desire for a creative comeback: “I would love to figure out how to cleverly be undead.” Her playful yet poignant remark reflects the mixed feelings of fans who are still holding onto the hope of Wanda’s resurrection.
As Agatha All Along unfolds, it appears that the narrative will continue to emphasize Wanda Maximoff’s tragic exit from the MCU, solidifying the character’s legacy while paving the way for new stories to emerge in the Marvel universe.
