“I think WandaVision was a really surprising opportunity,” Elizabeth went on, making her appreciation for the role known. “If someone were to tell me that I’m fired from Marvel movies, I will feel proud of what we made. And I really am just trying to figure out how to load up other films and characters so it becomes less about the Marvel of it all.”

The last time Elizabeth played the Scarlet Witch was in 2022’s Doctor Strange and there are no announced plans for her tor return to an upcoming Marvel film. After Doctor Strange, Elizabeth portrayed Candy Montgomery in the true crime drama, Love & Death. Elizabeth explained that playing Candy was a refreshing break from the Scarlet Witch. “I think I had the summer off or something before going into Candy. I was really hungry to put that character [Wanda] away, even though they could arguably be compared, because they both do bad things and they’re antiheroes in a way,” she noted. “I don’t make that comparison. But I understand why people want to make the comparisons.”

Earlier this year, Elizabeth said she hopes the Scarlet Witch has a future story after she seemingly died in Doctor Strange. “Yes I hope [we will see more of her],” she said during an April appearance on TODAY. “I have no idea. When I say that, it’s not because I have a loaded answer,” she clarified. “It’s because I say, ‘Yes I hope so,’ and I mean it at face value.”

Plus, in March, the Wind River actress said she has some plans for her character if she gets to play her again. “I feel like we’ve done so much. Now, we can really have fun; I feel like there’s a lot more humor to be had with her,” she told ScreenRant. “She’s often the emotion of a story, and I’m curious to see what we can explore. And hopefully [we can] give her some redemption.”
