Marvel Studios Has extended Her Contract for the next 7 years

It's a mix of everything.

The version of Wanda we've known thus far is dead.

But thanks to multiverse, there are endless other versions to be introduced

Though this has yet to be confirmed by anyone official, pretty sure it’s legit. Plus, Olsen recently teased her future with the franchise.

With that, of course she isn’t done for! Now dead characters coming back to life in these properties is commonplace, but it’s quite possible Wanda survived at the end of MoM; can’t underestimate someone as powerful as her.

But it’s a safe bet she’ll be back.

I really wish I stopped seeing her. Olsen is a great actress, but I don’t care for Wanda.

I had my fill of her in Wandavision. You’d think that after holding an entire town hostage she would learn. Yet, she goes back to killing in this film for ridiculous reasons.

I don’t care for her. She’s a murdering psycho that should’ve been gone a long time ago.

I am not sure I would watch a solo film of her, tbh.

That's sort of the point.

A lot of us were wondering how Marvel could redeem her character after what she did in "WandaVision." It started as an accident, but it became very intentional, and she seemed at best nominally apologetic for what was obviously, undeniably fucked-up torture of completely innocent bystanders.

(I can't stop thinking about that woman whose daughter had been trapped in her room, begging Wanda to make the daughter anything, even a class bully, just so they could see each other again)

So now we know: they DIDN'T redeem her. They went full-throttle in the opposite direction, not only acknowledging how selfish she's being but making her full-on evil in the process.

I liked it.

But I hope she's dead now. For one thing, she's too powerful to be interesting any longer. For another, it's a fitting end that underscores the point that, even in the MCU, no one can be trusted with absolute power.

I'm OK seeing a weaker variant pop up, but honestly I think the character has run its course regardless of Olsen's contract.

I'm going with that she IS dead and the next time we see Wanda/Scarlet Witch, it's going to be a variant. The 616 Wanda/Scarlet Witch is dead. Plus it seems like this new saga is all about the multiverse. So to help keep the multiverse relevant, they'll bring in variants from other universes. Wanda/Scarlet Witch is going to be among the first to get the variant treatment. Also, I want to say that she IS dead just because it seems that her story arc is wrapped up by the end of Doctor Strange 2. So, time to hit the reset button and give the character a fresh start by bringing a variant into the 616 universe and go from there. The Scarlet Witch solo movie is probably where things start with the variant and the movie will pretty much be like Captain America: The First Avenger (Steve/Captain America starts out in WWII era and wakes up in present day). Wanda/Scarlet Witch variant starts out in her universe and then by the end ups in the 616 universe. Then from there we'll see Wanda adapt to the 616 universe, just like how we watched Steve/Captain America adapt to present day.

If you don't explicitly see a character die it's best to assume they haven't.

It will depend if they can think up a way to redeem her character.

The upcoming Agatha series might be a way to bring back Wanda.

There is actually a red explosion/burst when she supposedly dies. That actually could go either way though. It could mean that the temple or whatever you call that place hit the protection shield and gave off a red burst/explosion, or when Scarlet Witch/Wanda died her being crushed gave off a red explosion/burst because of all her powers leaving her body. I read that when everyone else died from Scarlet Witch's powers in the movie, there was the same red burst/explosion when they died. But it could still be a shield/bubble that the building hit as it fell. Kind of like how the explosions were in Independence Day when the missiles were ineffective and hit the shield. There was a green/blueish explosion/burst when the missiles hit the ships' shield. I think Scarlet Witch died even without factoring in the red burst/explosion, but the red burst/explosion could pretty much be saying she died and they didn't want to go into full detail on showing her died. They probably felt the burst/explosion got the point across that she died.

reply

She's dead at the moment but she "died" in a nebulous way where they can bring her back later and just say she survived.

reply

Nah, they would be foolish to kill her

About like that X-Men En Sabah Nur guy.
