While Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), AKA The Scarlet Witch, was always an intriguing character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she became one of the more beloved heroes after WandaVision (2021). Her struggle with losing Vision (Paul Bettany) and the future they could have had made for arguably the best television series in Marvel Studios history.
Unfortunately, all of Wanda’s growth and intrigue were seemingly thrown away in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. While she was terrifying and one of the best villains in the MCU, it felt like everything interesting about her from the series was gone, robbing the character of all the agency she had in WandaVision.

Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (formerly known as Agatha: Coven of Chaos and Agatha: House of Harkness) will follow WandaVision standout Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) as she tries to recover her powers from some unlikely allies, including Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza), Billy Kaplan (Joe Locke), Lilia Calderu (Patti LuPone), Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata) and more.
According to a recent report from often reliable leaker CanWeGetSomeToast, audiences will also learn some news about the Scarlet Witch, specifically that she isn’t dead.

According to the report, Wanda Maximoff is presumed to be dead, but when a character asks Agatha if she’s dead, Harkness refuses to give a straight answer.
“If you want straight answers, ask a straight witch.”
Not only does this remark cement Agatha Harkness as an LGBTQIA+ icon, it leaves an open door for the Scarlet Witch to return to the MCU at any point in the future. And given the current state of the MCU, we could definitely use some more Elizabeth Olsen.
