There's no denying that Elizabeth Olsen had a pretty good run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but after a 7-year stint in the billion-dollar franchise, it seems like the actress is ready to end her tenure as Wanda Maximoff. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw the "death" of the Scarlet Witch and since then, her true status has remained unclear.
Marvel Studios Presiden Kevin Feige recently teased what's next for Elizabeth's fan-favorite character and even the WandaVision star isn't closing her doors on potentially returning. However, we might have to wait a few more years for that to happen.
According to the celebrity gossip account deuxmoi (via Twitter user @itsjustanx), the 33-year-old actress is taking a break from the MCU to turn her attention back to making indie films which was pretty much responsible for putting her name on the map. In case you weren't aware, before landing her big Marvel break, Olsen starred in a number of critically-acclaimed indie films. She even stated in a recent interview that being part of the MCU led her to miss several acting opportunities which she deemed frustrating.

Olsen previously confirmed that she's working on a new film to be helmed by a mystery director. Considering how picky the actress is in accepting projects outside the MCU, it would be safe to assume that her next big screen outing would see her return to her roots.
Of course, this is unfortunate news for fans hoping to see the return of Wanda in Agatha: Coven of Chaos. While anything can surely happen in the MCU, it's best to keep our expectations low at least for now.
Meanwhile, Marvel Studios' Agatha: Coven of Chaos is expected to hit Disney+ in Winter 2023.
