A fan poster for an as-yet nonexistent
Scarlet Witch movie makes a convincing case for its inclusion in MCU Phase 6. As it stands, the MCU"s Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, has been killed off following her villainous turn in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and her self-sacrificial destruction of the Darkhold. Nevertheless, the off-screen demise, the precedent for superhero deaths rarely lasting, and hints in trailers and promo footage for Agatha All Along thus far suggest that Wanda may return to the MCU shortly.
Should Wanda return in a solo movie, artist @boraposters has imagined how its poster might look. The design depicts a 2D-rendered Scarlet Witch bathed in shades of red with glowing pink eyes on a cosmic backdrop.
It is a unique interpretation of an MCU movie poster with a distinctive art style that has garnered positive responses, with one Instagram user commenting that Scarlet Witch "has to be in Marvel Phase 6." Unfortunately, two years after this poster was shared, a solo Scarlet Witch project is absent from the MCU release slate - but not entirely out of the question.
What A Scarlet Witch Movie Could Mean For The MCU Scarlet Witch Needs Another Shot At Redemption And Could Embrace Her Comic Book Routes Close Her apparent death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was a somewhat disappointing conclusion to Wanda"s MCU timeline. After experiencing one of the most tragic arcs of any MCU character, ending her MCU tenure with a Darkhold-spurred descent into outright villainy before meeting her demise feels like a particularly cruel end for such a compelling character. Of all the MCU characters that should get a shot at redemption,
Scarlet Witch ranks among the most deserving. A solo movie for Scarlet Witch would be the perfect place to provide this.

Furthermore, bringing one of the Avengers" most powerful members back into the fold would be a significant boon for the team as they approach a conflict with Doctor Doom. How the MCU plans to handle Doctor Doom remains to be seen, but should he be as powerful a sorcerer as he is in Marvel Comics, Doctor Strange and Wong are going to need all the help they can get to counter his powerful magic.
Scarlet Witch would be invaluable in this regard, especially after demonstrating the extent of her powers by decimating the Illuminati on Earth-838.
The MCU Phase 6 release slate is looking decidedly bare, and could easily be filled by a solo Scarlet Witch movie. Alternatively, should the MCU shift focus to its mutants in Phases 7 and beyond,
it may wish to return Scarlet Witch to her comic book routes and debut a variant who is overtly a mutant, like she and her brother, Quicksilver, are in Marvel Comics. Given the wealth of as-yet unexplored
Scarlet Witch stories for the MCU to delve into, a solo movie would be a perfect place to explore these.
Scarlet Witch Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Scarlet Witch debuted, along with her twin brother, Quicksilver in X-Men #4 (March 1964). Also known as Wanda Maximoff, she first appears as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, before she eventually became a member of the Avengers.
