Agatha: Darkhold – Scarlet Witch's Return Confirmed?

Scarlet Witch's Possible Return in Agatha: Darkhold?

Agatha: Darkhold and Wanda Maximoff: A Showrunner's Cryptic Tease!

Fans are dying to know: will Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) appear in Agatha: Darkhold? Showrunner Jac Schaeffer finally addressed the elephant in the room (in an interview with Deadline), creating even more intense anticipation amongst a deeply invested and highly engaged fanbase who really eagerly await these kinds of responses regarding those plot development theories surrounding their favorite characters.

Schaeffer attributed the enormous fan demand for Wanda to Olsen's amazing performance–and to the impact her previous appearance in WandaVision (also created by Schaeffer) had on the fanbase;   creating an intensely popular storyline surrounding that character's own personal growth, troubles, and personal loss. This helped create enormous fanbase demand and is why so many are asking whether the highly-popular Scarlet Witch is involved in future projects and the current show. Even after all those intensely compelling events already portrayed!

The Showrunner's Cryptic Comments: A Wanda Reveal, or Just More Agatha?

Schaeffer's comments are incredibly intriguing.   While claiming “our players are on the board” suggesting we’ve already met the main characters, and this remains “Agatha's Story”, she also emphasizes this storyline is "very much Billy’s story"  (that's Billy Maximoff/Wiccan) with the big teaser: “there’s more left to go.” This makes every fan intensely curious!

Several theories are swirling wildly after considering this specific information;  The reveal regarding the mysterious Teen's true identity, confirmed as Billy Maximoff; created this additional tension regarding whether Wanda would come into this plot to bring some needed resolution, or perhaps just add further drama, tension, and excitement.

Another factor adding to those ambiguities: the sigil on William Kaplan prevents him from being identified by any witch –  including Wanda. Knowing how important those familial bonds already are; and the overall direction and tragic consequences that Wanda’s multiversal actions already created, makes many wonder whether this would be resolved through reunion or merely another layer added on top of this ongoing storyline.

There’s a lot of room here. While Wanda's appearance isn't confirmed yet; several other things may happen that add additional depth, intrigue, and impact. We can discuss many possible plots regarding how she might return! We aren't exactly entirely sure what will occur here, considering how the current ongoing events are shaping that plot;  a vision, a flashback, or even a completely unexpected twist: resurrection! That alone generates further plot questions for any given story!

Our Take: An Intriguing Set Up With Plenty of Possibilities!

Agatha: Darkhold has already brought in many great characters, with Wiccan standing out greatly, his storyline compelling all on its own without the added layer from his mom’s arrival!

While a Wanda appearance would totally rock, Billy’s arc with Agatha remains awesome; making a potential resolution to that familial drama immensely exciting; an extra layer not yet required; therefore any additional element introduced through her might generate those surprising reveals that would change those audience's engagement with this title! It makes it unclear however whether those previous clues, those various story threads already established within Agatha: Darkhold, really need such an immense expansion which shows some serious planning was implemented.

Schaeffer's comments leave the audience eagerly awaiting those twists, suspense and anticipation of this next installment in Agatha's story! A major event is brewing, that’s for sure. It is certainly not to be missed, and all those questions left unanswered add another layer which is exactly what this show, its story, and those core elements involving Agatha already had already built very nicely throughout its storyline, especially surrounding Agatha’s current place and how significant that would become.
