Scarlet Witch Return in the MCU: The Darkhold's Influence

Everyone loves Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and fans were pretty shocked by how "Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness" went. So we all are really eager for her to return.

Scarlet Witch’s Return Through The Darkhold

What makes the new show, Agatha All Along (also on Disney+), interesting? This show and "Doctor Strange" both point to the fact that Scarlet Witch could still be alive.

Fans really feel that Wanda Maximoff would come back. There are all kinds of theories about it!

If there is one item that may be super important.

We all know that objects, or things from another world! Are just a few parts of what makes MCU, a cinematic universe to remember.

From the amazing Infinity Stones that brought the franchise into its biggest, most expansive period - the Infinity Saga!
Fans can't forget about how powerful items can change those that hold them, for example Mjolnir. The list goes on: the Time Scepter. It is clear, there is so much potential in these magical items, or powerful objects, making a huge mark!
It is amazing that Shang-Chi's ten rings could even be the next most coveted artifact!

The Power Of The Darkhold

A key object from the MCU has been at the heart of lots of theory, which may actually have survived in the latest Doctor Strange. That's the Darkhold.

Fans always have something that stands out in Movies that make them question what's going to happen next, even if they never find out!

What's more fascinating is what this dark book could mean for those that wield its powers!

This book was featured in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and seemed to have been destroyed in this film, however, if you go to "Agatha All Along" you may learn that Agatha might have made an unusual trade, possibly one to trade her own son! There might be a chance that it will bring back Scarlet Witch!, or that these events in "Agatha All Along" will become a bigger, darker chapter.

To add more to that theory: there is the art book, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness! You can look for these and see just how compelling these details can be! If it does, it is highly probable that the Darkhold might actually show up somewhere as a book, or perhaps even as someone who has the Darkhold's spirit in them. We don't really know who could show up. Maybe someone we recognize.

Scarlet Witch's Return?

The world was full of chaos. It seemed like Scarlet Witch was finished after she made those powerful decisions! The big events that put her in an extreme position as a hero or as a super-villain left those watching feeling sad. While her fate seems very final for a lot of fans.

However, this just makes a lot of theories come to light!

Wanda Maximoff might have been crushed, but what about her return? It seems as if Wanda Maximoff, as Scarlet Witch has powers, might use this to her advantage. And possibly using "The Darkhold", if it wasn't totally destroyed.
This could give the MCU the amazing story they were all looking for, to continue the saga of the most powerful witches in this amazing universe!

The Darkhold’s Impact

If Scarlet Witch can be brought back by a powerful book. Maybe she will come back and become even more of a super-villain. This book is very powerful as it has its connection to "Chthon," a major, powerful deity in the Marvel Universe, with a large, dark and compelling history that could have major ramifications! That brings the world of Agatha All Along, where there has been some mention of Mephisto and brings together this spirit world of MCU to create more chaos! A major thing that could really spark interest, or more chaos could play out.

We haven't had much from Marvel Comics for this big world, so if you really pay close attention, this could create a powerful event that leads to "Agatha All Along.". There's even a great chance this story may even set up future storylines in the MCU!

It looks as if this is becoming super intriguing because fans, those that have loved Scarlet Witch, or the more familiar name in Marvel Comics - Wanda Maximoff, may even be more curious. Wanda has used The Darkhold to a great extent, allowing her to really conquer many powerful threats.

That might just bring her back, so who knows, there could even be some interesting situations, and one of those scenarios might be bringing in Doctor Doom! He also has a super cool and fascinating history! This story will have to be seen as we watch a future release of "Avengers: Doomsday!" which features Robert Downey Jr., playing this role for all fans. The book The Darkhold might even be what really gets this whole universe revving up again with an exciting addition of a compelling dark spirit.

Fans of Scarlet Witch, and those that continue to look at the universe. It appears, that there will be tons of incredible new characters that are in this grand design, to add something special.

This could truly shake up the entire MCU.

What looks to be an important moment is "Agatha All Along" as we learn about Teen (played by Joe Locke), a truly powerful being, that will likely continue on this road. There are even those who love this character, who may believe that there is still more to this story! You see the power of these magical artifacts can bring some extraordinary moments. This can only mean great things. We might see Wanda Maximoff come back in the near future, as we await some really great releases. So be on the lookout to see what unfolds!
