The Scarlet Witch is back, and Elizabeth Olsen's Marvel Cinematic Universe return comes to mark the end of an era for Wanda Maximoff. The MCU's slate of releases is headed for a reboot of sorts. What we know for now is that 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars will end with a franchise reboot, but we don't yet know the extent of that event. Popular veterans and younger Marvel stars, such as Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Holland as Spider-Man, are expected to continue with the Marvel Studios franchise beyond the reboot. In the MCU's Multiverse Saga, a period where the shared universe has struggled more than before, there were a few consistent storylines. One of those came down to the Scarlet Witch and her family. In one of the best TV shows in the MCU, WandaVision, Olsen's Scarlet Witch rose to become one of the most popular heroes in the MCU. WandaVision was such a hit that the character then returned in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Wanda Maximoff turned back into a villain and died when she finally found a path to redemption. Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for VisionQuest episode 8.After that, the MCU continued to tap into the storyline revolving around the Scarlet Witch, only without directly focusing on Olsen's character. WandaVision gave birth to two spin-off series, Agatha All Along and VisionQuest. The latter recently came to an end, with the VisionQuest finale's post-credits scene showing Doctor Doom resurrecting the Scarlet Witch. Now, a major era has ended. The Era Of The MCU's WandaVision Trilogy Has Ended - Long Live The Scarlet Witch! The era of the WandaVision trilogy is over, with all three shows in the franchise having released all of their episodes on Disney+, and all three of them became massive hits. On Rotten Tomatoes, WandaVision holds a near-perfect 92% critics' score and a stellar 88% audience score, while Kathryn Hahn's Agatha All Along conjured a strong 84% critics' score and a high 82% audience score, and Paul Bettany's VisionQuest brought the trilogy to an end with an 86% critics' score and an 85% audience score at the time of writing. As can be seen, the MCU trilogy had no bad chapters. Marvel's WandaVision trilogy started with the Scarlet Witch being consumed by grief over Vision's death in Avengers: Infinity War and using her powers to alter reality, creating a Hex where Vision was alive again, and the couple had twin sons, Tommy and Billy. After Multiverse of Madness killed Wanda, Disney+'s Agatha All Along showed how the soul of Billy Maximoff found another body to inhabit, taking over the recently deceased William Kaplan, with Joe Locke playing the older version of Billy. VisionQuest focused on White Vision embracing his identity as the real Vision, with all his memories and feelings. Choose the movie with the higher Rotten Tomatoes score. It also saw Ruaridh Mollica make his MCU debut as the older Tommy Maximoff, with Locke making a surprise return as Billy in the VisionQuest finale, as the final chapter of Marvel's WandaVision trilogy brought Vision and both of his sons back together. All that was left was for Olsen's Scarlet Witch to be with them, and while that has yet to happen, Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom has already resurrected Wanda in the VisionQuest finale's post-credits scene. As such, this is the perfect end of an era for Olsen's character, as the WandaVision trilogy she started has ended with Wanda, Vision, Tommy, and Billy alive again. The MCU will now have to find another consistent live-action TV show franchise after the end of the WandaVision trilogy, which is sure to be a daunting task, as following up on the success of three interconnected superhero series takes a lot of careful planning. Now, a bold new era can start for Wanda Maximoff, as the Scarlet Witch has been set up to appear in December's Avengers: Doomsday, once again putting the character in the middle of the MCU's cinematic storylines, and if one of the upcoming Avengers movies reunites the Maximoff family, then WandaVision fans will have a lot to celebrate.
