The MCU’s Scarlet Witch is easily one of its most popular characters, so you’d think her possible return would be a cause for celebration.
However, not all MCU fans are sure such a return is wise.
It isn’t that they don’t want Elizabeth Olsen to reprise the role – nearly everyone is in agreement that she’s excellent as the Scarlet Witch – the issue is how feasible it is.

As Fancy-Tadpole-6739 shared on r/MCUTheories, the last time Scarlet Witch met Doctor Strange it ended poorly.

Scarlet Witch is incredibly powerful thanks to the Darkhold, and thus it’s very likely Doctor Strange would be willing to look past their issues if she can help him take down the next big bad.

If nothing else, it certainly makes her long anticipated comeback all the more exhilarating; it would be boring if we could easily guess what will happen.
One thing is for certain, the backlash will be harsh if Marvel even dares to suggest a possible recasting of the character.

Just look how badly fans have taken the news that a fan-favourite has been recast.
Nobody wants to deal with that fallout.
