WandaVision is one of the most-anticipated upcoming Disney+ Marvel Series.

Now Olsen shared her excitement on the forthcoming series and depicting Scarlet Witch for a longer time.
Why Elizabeth Olsen is excited to bring Scarlet Witch on Disney+ with WandaVision
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Elizabeth Olsen talked about her upcoming Disney+ series. She said that WandaVision is such an incredible concept. The actor mentioned that it is the first time they get to understand her as the Scarlet Witch that she is in the comics, and that is exciting for her because she has not yet been able to give the character that time onscreen. She stated that it is going to be fun. Olsen asserted that Wanda Maximoff has always been a representation of mental health and illness in the comic book series, and her major role in handling that stigma within Marvel.
Elizabeth Olsen also spoke about Vision’s appearance in the series and Wanda’s possible future in the MCU. Paul Bettany as Vision died in Avengers: Endgame and his return in the Disney+ show is unclear. Olsen kept things under wrap as she refused to answer how the character would appear in the series.
WandaVision is said to be linked to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the lead. Elizabeth Olsen said that she does not know much about the project because it is still kind of early. The movie is currently under the development stage and is scheduled for a 2022 release date. The actor did mention that she would really love to do a five-or-six-week independent film, after Doctor Strange sequel.
