AceShowbiz - Marvel Studios is actively developing a solo movie centered on Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, according to Production Weekly, a reputable film database. The project reportedly aims for a 2026 release. Writers Jac Schaeffer and Megan McDonnell, who penned "WandaVision" and "Agatha All Along," are collaborating on the script.

While the trade publications have yet to confirm the report, it suggests that Marvel may be preparing to give the powerful Avenger her own spotlight after her notable appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The last time Wanda was seen was in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," where she underwent a dramatic character transformation, leading to her apparent demise. Fans have expressed mixed opinions about her narrative arc from a hero to a villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a recent interview, Elizabeth Olsen hinted at her willingness to return to the role under the right circumstances, "It's a character I love going back to when there's a way to use her well... and they kind of didn't know what to do with me for a second there! If there's a good way to use her, I'm always happy to come back."

While Wanda is not expected to appear in the upcoming "Agatha All Along" Disney+ series, her status may be updated as she's rumored to join a Vision series which will be fronted by Paul Bettany and see James Spader's return as Ultron.

With the alleged involvement of Schaeffer and McDonnell as writers, the Scarlet Witch solo film appears to be in capable hands. The project has the potential to expand upon Wanda's complex and multifaceted character, exploring her unique abilities and the challenges she faces as she navigates the ever-evolving Marvel Cinematic Universe.
