Summary

• Elizabeth Olsen's return as the Scarlet Witch in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries is a hot topic of discussion, and new fan art imagines her alongside Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness.
• While Elizabeth Olsen hasn't been confirmed, Agatha: Darkhold Diaries presents the perfect opportunity for her MCU return as the Scarlet Witch.
• Agatha: Darkhold Diaries could potentially build on the mentorship and friendship between Agatha Harkness and Wanda Maximoff, and even reunite Wanda with one of her sons.

New MCU fan art depicts Elizabeth Olsen's return as the Scarlet Witch in Marvel Studios' upcoming Agatha: Darkhold Diaries on Disney+. Following on from her debut in Phase 4's WandaVision, Kathryn Hahn was confirmed to be reprising the role of Salem witch Agatha Harkness in her own MCU series. Originally titled Agatha: House of Harkness, and later Agatha: Coven of Chaos, Marvel Studios' Agatha: Darkhold Diaries is expected to release on Disney+ in 2024 as part of the MCU's Phase 5. While the series will introduce several new witches in the MCU, Elizabeth Olsen's potential return as Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, has been a hot topic of discussion.
While Elizabeth Olsen has been steadfast in her response that she won't be making an appearance as the Scarlet Witch in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, many MCU actors over the years have denied involvement in projects they would later appear in. Wanda Maximoff's reunion with Agatha Harkness is highly-anticipated, and has been imagined in new fan art shared by skaiwitch.
The art gives Agatha: Darkhold Diaries a vibrant makeover, depicting Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness and Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch side-by-side with mystical runes painted on their faces. While Olsen hasn't been confirmed to be involved with Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, the Phase 5 series presents the perfect opportunity for her MCU return.
Related MCU Theory Pays Off Phase 4's Most Controversial Twist Ending The title for Agatha Harkness' upcoming MCU series has been changed again, but this could hint at a more meta storyline for Phase 5's Salem witch. How The Scarlet Witch Could Return In Agatha: Darkhold Diaries Close Wanda Maximoff was last seen terrorizing MCU newcomer America Chavez in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as the Scarlet Witch wanted to steal Chavez's universe-jumping ability in an effort to be reunited with her sons, Billy and Tommy. However, after being shown the error of her ways, Wanda destroyed the castle on Mount Wundagore with her inside it, seemingly marking the end of her MCU journey. Nevertheless, many have theorized that the Scarlet Witch will be returning to the MCU, and 2024's Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, the MCU's first WandaVision spinoff, has been the more suggested project for her to reappear.
In Marvel Comics, Agatha Harkness acts as a mentor to Wanda Maximoff, and the pair build a strong friendship, which was teased in WandaVision. The Scarlet Witch's return among the cast of Agatha: Darkhold Diaries could build on this further, and potentially even reunite Wanda with one of her sons, if speculation concerning Joe Locke's casting as Billy Kaplan, the reincarnation of Billy Maximoff, turns out to be true. A well-timed flash of red during Wanda's death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness suggests that the Scarlet Witch may still be alive, though viewers will have to wait until Agatha: Darkhold Diaries releases to find out for sure.
