Avengers: Doomsday’s Scarlet Witch Twist Won’t Be What Fans Expect, Says Insider

A new rumor hints at an unexpected development for Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Doomsday. The report suggests Wanda Maximoff‘s role may draw on a notable Marvel Comics storyline.

According to MyTimeToShineHello, the Young Avengers survive the final incursion and make finding Scarlet Witch their primary mission. The rumor also claims Wanda isn’t missing at all and may be living inside Doctor Doom‘s castle. It also suggests that she will lead an army.

Additionally, the scooper claims that Sue Storm is Doom’s wife, a detail that recalls elements of Marvel Comics’ 2015 Secret Wars storyline. The rumor also suggests Wanda could be a key factor in the events surrounding Doom’s plans.

A previous report from the same scooper claimed that Elizabeth Olsen had filmed an important post-credits scene for the upcoming MCU film.

Marvel hasn’t shared an official update on Scarlet Witch’s role in Doomsday and Secret Wars. It remains unclear whether Olsen will return as the character. Hence, fans should take these rumors with a grain of salt.

Wanda’s connection to Doctor Doom remains unclear

MyTimeToShineHello shared the rumors with a cover from Avengers: The Children’ Crusade, which shows Doctor Doom holding Wanda Maximoff. In the comic storyline, Young Avengers Billy and Tommy Maximoff set out to find her.

During their search, the team discovers that Wanda has lost her memories and is living in Latveria, the fictional European nation ruled by Doom. The story also explores Wanda and Doom’s connection, as she is engaged to the supervillain.

While the rumors resemble the comic storyline, Marven’ts not saidrew took any inspiration from The Children’s Crusade. Moreover, Wanda Maximoff last appeared in live-action in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where she seemingly died at the end.

It remains unclear whether Scarlet Witch returns to Doomsday or Secret Wars. For now, rumors that Wanda lives in Doom’s castle and leads an army remain unconfirmed.

Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18.
