Now That Ultron Is Back, I Really Want To See An MCU Phase 2 Avengers Rematch With Scarlet Witch

:0:1

The MCU is bringing back Ultron long after his defeat in Avengers: Age of Ultron, providing a great opportunity for a better showdown between the AI villain and a more powerful Scarlet Witch. Scarlet Witch's MCU journey began with her recruitment by Hydra, after which she developed powers through the Mind Stone and sided with Ultron to fight Iron Man and the Avengers in Avengers: Age of Ultron. However, Ultron's world-ending plans convinced Wanda Maximoff to switch teams, and Quicksilver's death cemented Wanda's heroic goals.
Wanda's life only got more tragic after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron, having to escape the law due to the Sokovia Accords in Captain America: Civil War, finding herself forced to kill Vision and witness Thanos kill him a second time in Avengers: Infinity War, and losing her twin children in WandaVision. Following Scarlet Witch's apparent death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda Maximoff's MCU future is uncertain. Yet, Ultron is coming back to the MCU soon despite his seemingly definitive destruction. If there's an MCU character who deserves to fight Ultron again, it's Scarlet Witch.
Scarlet Witch Needs To Fight Ultron Again In The MCU Scarlet Witch Still Has A Conflict To Settle With Ultron In The MCU

Custom image by Nicolas Ayala While Scarlet Witch helped the Avengers defeat Ultron by destroying Ultron Prime's body, she didn't have enough time to exact revenge for Quicksilver's death. Ultron used Wanda as a pawn in his (successful) plan to destroy her home country, killed her twin brother, and left her alone with power she didn't know how to control. Since Ultron's death at the hands of Vision seemingly wasn't enough to vanquish him, then it should also be possible for Scarlet Witch to return despite her apparent death. It would only be fair for both characters to come back and fight a second time.

3 Scarlet Witch Is The Most Likely Avenger To Defeat Ultron For Good Wanda Maximoff Might Be The Only Character Capable Of Eliminating Ultron From The Earth Close Not only does Scarlet Witch have personal reasons to kill Ultron, but also the necessary abilities to achieve it. In WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff accidentally created a Vision replica so perfect that it was able to transfer its artificial consciousness back into its original body. While Wanda's magical powers seem to come from a natural mutation, it was the Mind Stone that awakened them — the same Mind Stone that helped Ultron and Vision become sentient and nearly invincible.
Ultron is usually an inherently invincible villain in the source material, as he always has a back-up he can activate at any time.
Powerful MCU heroes such as Doctor Strange and the Fantastic Four could find clever ways to stop Ultron a second time, but Scarlet Witch might hold the key to eradicate him for good. The fact that James Spader's Ultron is returning means that a scientific approach isn't enough to stop Ultron, and Doctor Strange may not fully understand the Mind Stone's influence on Ultron's nigh omnipresence. Besides being a reasonable excuse to bring Scarlet Witch back from the dead, Ultron's return could prove that the MCU still needs Scarlet Witch's powerful chaos magic through an exciting Avengers: Age of Ultron rematch.
