Sounds Like Scarlet Witch’s Fate After 'Doctor Strange 2' Has Finally Been Clarified, And I Wonder What This Means For The Next 'Avengers' Movies

What happened to Scarlet Witch? The ending of "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" left that ambiguous. Because although Wanda Maximoff was shown inside the collapsing Mount Wundagore as she was destroying all copies of the Darkhold in the multiverse, a common rule trope in superhero storytelling is if a body isn’t seen, they’re not dead. In fact, a Marvel comic book released in February seemingly indicated that Elizabeth Olsen’s character was still alive. However, that no longer appears to be the case, leaving me wondering what this means for "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars," two of the highly-anticipated upcoming Marvel movies. In case you missed it, "TVA #3" saw Gwen Stacy, a.k.a. Ghost-Spider, discovering an area of the Time Variance Authority called the Department of Deferment. In there, she came across a static tube containing what looks like the MCU’s Scarlet Witch, as opposed to the version of Wanda from the main Marvel Comics continuity. Well, apparently that’s only sort of true, because according to "TVA #5" (via ScreenRant), the Wanda in that tube isn’t the same one we saw in the Doctor Strange sequel, but rather a variant of her.
