Elizabeth Olsen Will Not Return as Scarlet Witch in Upcoming Avengers Films

Elizabeth Olsen has confirmed that she will not reprise her role as Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, in the upcoming Avengers films, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. In a recent interview, she stated, 'No, I’m back [in the States]. I just finished [Panic Carefully]. I’m moving on to filming a pilot for FX [called Seven Sisters].' Despite her absence, the MCU is set to feature other notable characters, including Robert Downey Jr. who will portray Doctor Doom. Olsen's portrayal of Wanda in six MCU films has been significant, with her last appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Fans remain hopeful, as actors in the MCU have historically misled about their roles to maintain surprise. However, as of now, Olsen's departure from the upcoming films appears definitive.
