Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe – but with a mᴀssive twist – through new Avengers: Doomsday art. Following Marvel Studios’ surprise announcement where they unveiled several MCU characters coming back for Avengers: Doomsday, one name who was left out was Olsen. However, Kevin Feige has confirmed that they are not done revealing cast members for Avengers: Doomsday.
While Avengers: Doomsday is finally in production, one of the MCU players that fans are still hoping to see show up in the Phase 6 installment is Scarlet Witch. Though Olsen may not be confirmed for the film, Mohd Haris shared new Avengers: Doomsday art that pitches a very twisted way of how Wanda could return in the film. Check it out below:

The Avengers: Doomsday art with Downey Jr. and Olsen recreates the twist from Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, where it was revealed that Doctor Doom had captured Scarlet Witch. In the story, the Avengers discovered that the real Wanda had been replaced by a Doombot, while Victor von Doom was using Wanda’s powers for his plans.
What The Doctor Doom & Scarlet Witch Art Means For Avengers: Doomsday
Ever since her shocking ending in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the demand to see Scarlet Witch back in the MCU has been higher than ever as fans continue to make their voices heard. What the Avengers: Doomsday art also showcases is that the MCU audience is not convinced that she is permanently ᴅᴇᴀᴅ at all, despite her mᴀssive sacrifice. The fan art sets up an organic way for the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness mystery to finally get resolved, while also setting up a tragic premise for Scarlet Witch’s MCU return.
Given how powerful and resourceful Doctor Doom is, it wouldn’t be shocking at all if he somehow managed to capture Wanda after the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, especially if he intends to have an army against the heroes in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. While it wouldn’t be a direct Avengers: The Children’s Crusade adaptation, this plot twist is something that could be easily worked into the MCU. Whether or not this will be the case for Avengers: Doomsday remains to be seen.
Our Take On The Avengers: Doomsday Art
The Avengers: Doomsday fan-art makes a compelling case for the MCU to make this the way to bring Scarlet Witch back into the fold, as it would be devastating to see Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom keeping Olsen’s character captive. However, this could also lead to the possibility of Scarlet Witch freeing herself and taking on Doctor Doom, which would set up one of the biggest battles of all time in the MCU. Hopefully, whether it is in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, Olsen will ideally be back as Scarlet Witch before Phase 6 is over.
