4. Wanda’s arc had a clear rise and fall
Wanda Maximoff started as an enemy of the Avengers. Then she became a trusted team member. Later, she faced deep personal loss, leading to darker choices. By WandaVision, she crossed into antihero territory. In Multiverse of Madness, she became the villain. Her story followed a consistent emotional arc — grief, power, and consequence. The ending fits that path. She didn’t get redemption. She didn’t escape. She made a final decision, and it led to her death. It’s a complete story, even if it’s not a happy one.
5. Olsen gave a controlled, layered performance
Olsen’s performance as Wanda stood out in the MCU. She didn’t rely on dramatic outbursts. Instead, she played Wanda with restraint and control. In WandaVision, she moved between sitcom-style humor and deep emotional pain. In Multiverse of Madness, she kept Wanda’s focus sharp even while playing a villain. Her acting gave the character depth beyond the script. That kind of work made Wanda believable, even as her powers became more extreme. Olsen grounded the role in real emotion, which is rare in comic book films.
6. A return is possible — but only as a variant
The multiverse allows for many versions of one character. Marvel made that clear in Loki, What If…?, and Multiverse of Madness. So, Elizabeth Olsen could return to Marvel. But it wouldn’t be the same Wanda. The original Scarlet Witch is dead. Any future version would have a different past, different choices, and maybe even different powers. Marvel may bring in a variant someday, but it wouldn’t undo the death in TVA #5. That finality gives Olsen space to choose whether or not she wants to come back.
