Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff was one of two characters mooted to get their own limited series in Variety's report, and given the time-gap between Civil War and Infinity War, it makes a whole lot of sense.
Scarlet Witch goes on the run after being broken out of the off-land supermax, and it's established that she and Vision secretly meet while she travels Europe, before eventually settling in Edinburgh.
With that premise in mind, it's easy to see how Marvel could make a compelling series all about Wanda having to reconcile her fugitive status with wanting to help those in need. It's unclear as of yet how this'll impact Olsen's commitments to the films, but it's easy to see how a Scarlet Witch show could work - especially with the lore of the X-Men to utilise in just a few months' time.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
