Ever because the launch of Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity, followers have been curious if the finale of that film was actually the top of Wanda Maximoff / The Scarlet Witch, or if she would return to the MCU. The idea gave the impression to be that any information concerning the Scarlet Witch’s return to the MCU must wait till Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, however Marvel Comics might need given away the plan.
On the finish of the Physician Unusual sequel, Wanda stayed behind to destroy Mount Wundagore, which collapsed on high of her, however as anybody who reads superhero comics is aware of, dying is straightforward to return again from. In Marvel’s TVA #3, revealed on Feb. 26, 2025 (through SlashFilm), Spider-Gwen passes what seems to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe model of the Scarlet Witch in some type of stasis chamber within the TVA headquarters. Theoretically, this could possibly be any Scarlet Witch, however the costume’s design carefully resembles that of her MCU counterpart. The TVA sequence follows the Time Variance Authority, the group featured in Loki and Deadpool & Wolverine. The canonical standing of the comics within the MCU is at the moment unclear, as they happen inside the multiverse, so we’re not 100% that this is similar Scarlet Witch.

Kevin Feige Appears to Affirm What We Already Guessed About Scarlet Witch’s MCU Future
A brand new remark from Kevin Feige about Elizabeth Olsen’s potential Scarlet Witch future appears to counsel she’s going to return.
Though the comedian depiction of the Scarlet Witch seems just like the MCU model, it feels unlikely that Marvel Studios would let Marvel Comics embrace a significant plot level in a guide that the majority viewers most likely aren’t conscious of. The broadly mocked resolution to have the Palpatine message from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker completely heard in Fortnite might need deterred Disney from any related, large cross-platform media tie-ins. But Marvel’s comics and movies have a tough connection, and TVA’s earlier MCU look in Deadpool & Wolverine may shed some gentle on this comedian’s MCU connection.
Deadpool & Wolverine Would possibly Have Set a Priority for TVA Canon
The canon standing of the TVA sequence within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is nebulous. Marvel has revealed tie-in comics which can be a part of the MCU continuity, notably the comedian Fury’s Huge Week, which chronicled the occasions of Iron Man 2, Thor, and The Unbelievable Hulk, all from Nick Fury’s standpoint. Nonetheless, that comedian’s continuity standing is up within the air because it featured Black Widow capturing Samuel Sterns / The Chief after the occasions of The Unbelievable Hulk, none of which is referenced or traces up with what we study The Chief within the just lately launched Captain America: Courageous New World. That stated, the TVA comics are a part of the principle Marvel Comics universe, interacting with these tales versus the characteristic movies or Disney+ sequence.
The precise Marvel Comics and their relationship to the cinematic universe they impressed are even trickier to unpack. Spider-Verse #2 from 2015 references Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man as trying “just like the man from Seabiscuit,” and a Spider-Variant refers to Andrew Garfield’s Spidey with, “I feel I noticed the man from The Social Community over there.” Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Males have been later transported from their universes to the MCU in Spider-Man: No Means House, offering some hyperlink between the comics and the live-action franchise multiverse. Which means that the TVA sequence is related to the correct MCU, even when that connection is just a little wobbly.
If the Scarlet Witch does seem in a future MCU title, it is attainable she could possibly be detained on the TVA’s headquarters, and maybe there will probably be a quick nod to the comics. The largest trace that this may be considerably tied into the MCU’s plans is Deadpool & Wolverine. That multiverse movie featured the stone carving of the Scarlet Witch on Mount Wundagore within the lair of the previous Marvel heroes residing within the Void. With the Void being the place the TVA group places characters and issues they do not need, it’s attainable they saved Scarlet Witch for a later objective, which might make the carving in Deadpool & Wolverine just a little Easter egg that hints at a much bigger MCU plan.
