Elizabeth Olsen’s MCU Return: The Truth Behind the Headlines

Elizabeth Olsen confirms her Marvel return but skips Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars. Find out the truth behind Scarlet Witch’s MCU future and new FX project!

Published: October 6, 2025, 7:17 am

Yes, Elizabeth Olsen is confirmed to return in the MCU.If you’re concerned that Elizabeth Olsen won’t make a return as Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, rest assured: she is. Although Hollywood is currently on a bit of a break, Deadline shared that Hamptons International Film Festival has been in full swing, providing sneak previews of what’s ahead, and with it, the talent to bring light to their projects and comment on them. She added, “These movies really aren’t made for critics, these movies are made for fans,” and said she is very excited about doing“ character story lines from the comics that people have wanted to see characters do.” 

The Current Reality: Not in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars

While she was open to coming back, Olsen has officially said she will not be in the next Avengers movies. In March 2025, she said to The Hollywood Reporter: “No, I’m back. I’ve just finished. I’m off to shoot a pilot for FX [Seven Sisters]”. A schedule conflict rules her out for both Avengers: Doomsday (May 1, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7, 2027).

Marvel Didn’t “Cast Her Out” – It’s About Artistic Choice and Scheduling

Liz or Marvel Haven’t “Cast Her Out” – This is more about Elizabeth Olsen’s personal artistic choices and schedule conflicts. Olsen said: “I had no idea until about six years ago, but because Marvel and its power occupies so much space and time in the world, it is really important for me to make choices outside of Marvel that align with my taste”. She stressed that she wants to explore her artistic identity outside of the Marvel universe.

Why She Said This: Balancing Marvel with Personal Projects

Olsen’s remarks show her yearning to have creative flexibility while still being a part of the MCU. She had earlier said that Marvel has given her ‘some feeling of insurance in my life that has given me freedom to choose other jobs’. Her response has been: “I never really had the attitude that “one for them, one for me.” Marvel has been such a solid thing I’ve been able to go back to”.

Her Recent MCU Return: Marvel Zombies

Olsen has also returned to voice Scarlet Witch, in the animated series Marvel Zombies on Disney+ on September 24, 2025 but was not in any live-action films. The four-episode series include other MCU actors who also play versions of themselves in a zombie apocalypse story. But she said these voice sessions were recorded years ago, Forbes shared.

Scarlet Witch’s “Death” and Long-Term MCU Possibilities

Marvel has now said that Wanda Maximoff did die in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The official MCU timeline book says she “ destroys Wundagore and buries it under herself, eliminating two major threats to the entire Multiverse”. But death is seldom permanent in the comics and superhero stories generally, particularly for major characters like Scarlet Witch.

Olsen is currently concentrating on the FX pilot Seven Sisters, reuniting her with Martha Marcy May Marlene helmer Sean Durkin. The story follows a family that falls apart when one sister (Olsen) starts hearing voices that nobody else can.

In a future that marvel fans call the multiverse, insider Alex Perez has implied that Elizabeth Olsen is going to continue to play Scarlet Witch post Marvels secret mcu reset following Avengers: Secret Wars. This suggests that even though she might be missing from some of the immediate Avengers movies, there is still a lot of potential for her in the MCU long-term future.

Her Interest in House of M Storyline

Notably, Olsen has also articulated a particular wish to One story to touch on adapting the House of M comic story arc, I think House of M is just the coolest thing. I feel like it would be so fun to do something with the X-Men or mutants.” This hints at storylines for the future that may well bring her back, particularly as the MCU positions itself to bring in mutants and the X-Men.

Conclusion

Elizabeth Olsen’s door to the MCU is still open and positive. Although hectic scheduling and a wish to pursue other artistic avenues have prevented her from gracing the biggest Avengers films, her openness to return and her continuing involvement with Marvel properties — such as Marvel Zombies — hint that Scarlet Witch’s tale in the MCU isn’t finished.
