SCARLET WITCH Solo Film Reportedly in Development with Writers Jac Schaeffer and Megan McDonnell
A new report has surfaced that is saying Marvel Studios is in development on a Scarlet Witch solo movie. It was reported almost a year ago saying that WandaVision and Agatha All Along producer and writer, Jac Schaeffer, was going to write and direct the film.
Today, we’re learning from Production Weekly that Schaeffer is, at least, still a writer on the project and she’s working on the script with Megan McDonnell (Captain Marvel).
The last time we saw Scarlet Witch was in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, when see went on a multiverse killing spree. She seemingly died at the end of the film by destroying every copy of the Darkhold and bringing a mountain down on top of herself.
I’m guessing that the next time we see her will be in the Vision series and that whatever happens in that show could lead to the solo film, but that’s just all speculation on my part.
Elizabeth Olsen recently said that she would be happy to come back and play the character again, saying: “It’s a character that I love going back to when there’s a way to use her well, and I think I have been lucky that when I started I was used well.
“I think people didn’t know what to do with me for a second there… if there’s a good way to use her I’m always happy to come back.”
That comment came after several interviews where she said that she was ready to move on and it would be fine not to play the character again. With this change of tune that we’re seeing now, she’s most likely been approached by Marvel to return because they have a plan in place to continue her story.
