Wanda Maximoff has had one of the wildest villain-to-hero journeys within the MCU.
Elizabeth Olsen’stime as Wanda Maximoff has involved being a villain, Avenger, evil sorcerer, and loving mother.
It’s safe to say theScarlet Witchis one of the more complicated characters in theMCU.
Debuting in 2015’sAvengers: Age of Ultron, Olsen has been a staple of the MCU as Wanda.
The character has now appeared in six different projects, includingDisney+seriesWandaVision.
However, Wanda’s evil-doings far precede turningJohn Krasinski’sReed Richards into lifeless spaghetti.
Wanda notably used her abilities for evil during the battle at the Salvage Yard in Africa.
She attempted the same onHawkeye(Jeremy Renner) but was thwarted by a taser arrow.
This caused a rampage that forcedIron Manto battle the Hulk.
This causes Wanda and Pietro to turn against Ultron and join the Avengers for the final battle.
Wanda’s true hero moment comes when Hawkeye tells her,“It doesn’t matter what you did…
If you go out there, you fight, and you fight to kill.
Stay in here, you’re good.
I’ll send your brother to come find you.
But if you step out that door… you are an Avenger.”
InWandaVision, the story’s hero is Wanda… from a certain point of view.
These actions, though rooted in sorrow, manifested in behaviors categorized as villainous.
Wanda is convinced the Darkhold holds the key to finding her lost children across the Multiverse.
As her desperation intensifies throughout the film, Wanda’s actions grow increasingly reckless and self-serving.
Is Wanda Still a Villain in the MCU?
Making peace withDoctor Strange(Benedict Cumberbatch), Wanda declares her responsibility to eliminate the Darkhold’s menace.
She uses her powers to obliterate the Castle and every Darkhold copy across the Multiverse.
This leaves her future in the MCU unknown to fans.
Similarly, inMarvel Comics, Wanda has a complex journey as both hero and villain.
