Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the most successful Marvel film from last year and that really says something. Despite having a lead actor like Benedict Cumberbatch and a visionary director like Sam Raimi, the film turned out to be rather underwhelming. Madness in the title was missing from the film. The film felt too simple in a bad way. The one thing that the film did right was Scarlet Witch’s arc. The film ended on a note where one of the most powerful MCU supes “died”. However, no one has confirmed her fate. Fans are still hoping that Wanda is alive because we didn’t explicitly see her die on screen. Earlier this year, Elizabeth Olsen had said that she won’t be returning as the character, thus, crushing fans’ hopes for a Scarlet Witch solo outing. However, according to a new report Marvel is suddenly interested to make a new movie with Scarlet Witch at the center of affairs.
MCU Not Done With Scarlet Witch Yet!
A new rumor is now making rounds in the internet that Marvel Studios is interested to make a new Scarlet Witch movie. On any other day I’d have dismissed this as a false clickbait report. However, this update seems like more than just a baseless rumor. There is one name attached to this new venture which makes me question the legitimacy of this report – Jac Schaeffer. The talented filmmaker is considered to be the writer and director of the film. Any one who is familiar with Schaeffer’s work will know that she has intimate relations with Marvel Studios.
She has created the WandaVision show and even co-wrote the initial story for Black Widow. Even the upcoming Agatha: Darkhold Diaries is created by Schaeffer. Considering how Marvel is promoting their TV talent to films (Matt Shakman – Director of WandaVision, now directing the Fantastic Four reboot), this report might hold some weight to it. Also, Marvel seems to involve Schaeffer in everything related to WandaVision, so it would make perfect sense if the studio backs the filmmaker to make a solo Scarlet Witch movie.
Jac Schaeffer’s work outside the MCU is minimum but she is best known for her for her 2009 feature film debut TiMER. For now take this with a grain of salt, no confirmation has been made by Marvel or any other party.
