MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) is a film franchise that has been going on since 2008's Iron Man.

It reached its climax in 2019's Avengers: Endgame. Elizabeth Oslen has played the role of Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in the MCU since 2014. Besides the films, she also headlined the web series WandaVision.

Recently, the actress spoke about the possibility of her return to the franchise. Olsen said that she is eager to return as Wanda.

"It is something that I love."

Let's find out the details of what Olsen said and if there is a possibility of her return.


Elizabeth Olsen talks about returning to the MCU

Elizabeth Olsen recently spoke to People Magazine about her possible return to the MCU. She stated that she has always wanted to return as Wanda Maximoff.

“It is something that I love, and it’s something I always want to return to. I think the thing that’s been so special about the last five years is I’ve gotten to do so much with the character that I never thought I would. There are still character through lines that have happened in the comics that I’d love to do that I think fans also want to.”

Olsen said that these films are for comic book and superhero fans and not critics. In the same interview, the actress spoke about how the audiences might have gotten "exhausted" with the superhero genre.

“It’s really fruitful, and the stories have only gotten better for me, my character. I really enjoyed it. Some people have ongoing television series that they get to return to. Very few, I feel like, get to be a part of franchises that, I know we might culturally get a little bit exhausted by, but there is something about them that becomes very familial.”

Her parting thoughts were,

"There’s nothing else really like it, and I don’t know that I’ll have [that] again unless it’s for an ongoing show. I do like that kind of consistency. It feels good. I mean, job security feels nice — I think we can all agree on that.”

Olsen joined the MCU in 2014 with an uncredited cameo appearance in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. She then appeared in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. She has also appeared in the standalone 2021 miniseries WandaVision, which is available on Disney+.
