Elizabeth Olsen has been one of the busiest Marvel actors in all of Phase 4. Immediately after finishing her work on Wanda Visionshe hit the set for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness where she serves as a lead alongside Benedict Cumberbatch’s Master of the Mystic Arts. This is why if a possible scarlet witch movie happens to enter development, Olsen says she’ll need at least a little break to catch up.
“I don’t know, but if they have a good story to tell, I’ll be there,” Olsen said during the Multiverse of Madness press tour. When asked if she needed a break from Marvel’s busy schedule, the Wanda Vision the former student adds, “Yeah, exactly or just a little bit. Just one version of a break.”
When does Wanda get hers [#ScarletWitch] film?
“Oh, I don’t know, but if they have a good story to tell, I’ll be there.”

Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi previously hinted at Olsen’s role in his follow-up, explaining that he can’t wait for fans to see two of the franchise’s most powerful characters come face-to-face.
“Wow. This is a question I’ve been asking kids on the playground since third grade. Who’s stronger, this character or that one? Well, I think Wanda’s magic, from the Marvel lore, is more powerful than nearly every other character in this photo, but Doctor Strange has the knowledge of the mystical arts that Wanda doesn’t, and he has the help of Kamar-Taj,” Raimi surmised. “If you were to pit them against each other, different altered versions of themselves…there could be a Doctor Strange more powerful than our Wanda. Or there could be a Wanda out there who is more powerful than our Wanda here. So, because of these modified versions, everything is a mixture of possibilities.”
Disney’s official synopsis for the film can be found below.
“To restore a world where everything is changing, Strange enlists the help of his ally Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme, and the Avengers’ most powerful Scarlet Witch, Wanda. But a terrible threat looms over humanity and the entire universe. which can no longer be done by their power alone.Even more surprisingly, the universe’s greatest threat looks exactly like Doctor Strange.
