Doctor Strange 2 Writer Explains Scarlet Witch's Descent Into Madness
Warning: The following article contains spoilers forDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron explains Wanda's descent into madness that led to her actions in the film. Elizabeth Olsen returns to the role of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the superhero sequel, which brings back star Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role of Doctor Stephen Strange. Olsen first portrayed Wanda in Avengers: Age of Ultron, starting off as a villain aligned with Ultron before joining the Avengers. Wanda's parents were killed in a bombing in Sokovia when she was a child, leaving her and her twin brother Pietro to survive on their own. The twins were experimented on by Hydra, which resulted in the release of their natural-born abilities.
Pietro was killed at the end of Age of Ultron, and sadly, his loss would not be the last one Wanda suffered. Wanda embarked on a romantic relationship with Vision (Paul Bettany), which ended in tragedy when she was forced to kill him in Avengers: Infinity War. The Disney+ series WandaVision would then explore Wanda's grief in the aftermath of Infinity War, revealing that she created a sitcom world where Vision was alive and they had two children. However, that world eventually came crumbling down and she was forced yet again to say goodbye to the ones she loved, before once again going into hiding, this time with the Darkhold book to influence her. That paved the way for her arc in Doctor Strange 2.
