Spider-Man: No Way Home Made Scarlet Witch’s MCU Fate Way Worse

Summary

• Scarlet Witch's fate in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is worsened by the redemption arcs given to the villains in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
• Wanda Maximoff's journey from hero to villain in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is left unresolved due to her untimely death in the film.
• Wanda deserved a redemption arc similar to the villains in No Way Home, considering her complex history and the forces that influenced her actions.

Scarlet Witch’s fate in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is made far worse by Spider-Man: No Way Home, which precedes her final appearance. After a briefly villainous and later heroic debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Wanda Maximoff became part of the new wave of Avengers superheroes, continuing to protect the world in her following MCU appearances. After losing her lover, Vision, Maximoff gradually becomes a genuine villain, as shown in WandaVision.
Despite eventually releasing her grip on Westview, New Jersey, Wanda Maximoff completed her turn to villainy in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Embracing her title of Scarlet Witch, Wanda murdered numerous Masters of the Mystic Arts and Avengers members from other realities in her quest to bring back her sons. Wanda did not have a chance to truly redeem herself in the current MCU timeline, however, because she dies at the end of the film, in a turn of events that was not only controversial but also made worse by No Way Home’s theme of redemption.
