Will Elizabeth Olsen Be Playing a Different Marvel Character in Marvel's VISION Series?
It was recently reported that Elizabeth Olsen will be returning to the MCU for Marvel’s upcoming WandaVision spinoff series Vision, but there are multiple new reports claiming that she will not be returning to play Scarlet Witch.
There are reports surfacing that instead of playing Scarlet Witch, who may have died in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, there she may actually be playing the character Virginia Vision instead.
It seems like the origin of this rumor came from Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus on social media, but that site has been known for making up fake movie news in the past for clicks. But, other sites are claiming to have heard the same thing, so, we’ll see.
Also, with James Spader coming back to reprise his role of Ultron, it seems like we will see Vision resurrect his "father” at some point in the series.
It’s been explained that the core of the series would center on Paul Bettany’s Vision as he is trying to regain his memory and humanity.
As for Virginia Vision, she is is also known "V," and is a character who was introduced in Tom King's critically acclaimed 2016 Vision series. She is a synthezoid, created by the Vision as part of his attempt to lead a "normal" family life in the suburbs.
Virginia was designed to resemble a human wife and mother and was programmed with the ability to feel emotions. Alongside her synthetic children, Vin and Viv, she struggles with the challenges of fitting into human society while grappling with her unique identity and the darker aspects of her family's existence.
Virginia's story is pretty tragic, and her journey in the series highlights the complexity and sometimes heartbreaking reality of trying to live an ordinary life when you're anything but ordinary.
That is very close to the story for WandaVision so I imagine if Virginia Vision is in the series, Marvel has some different plans for her and the story.
Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard) is developing the series and serves as showrunner on the untitled series which is looking to start production in 2025.
