The fate of Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, has been a burning question on the minds of Marvel Cinematic Universe fans since the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Her supposed demise left fans wondering if Elizabeth Olsen's beloved character would make a return, and the Disney+ series Agatha All Along did little to clear up the mystery.

According to Jac Schaeffer, writer of WandaVision and showrunner of Agatha All Along, the ambiguity surrounding Wanda's status was deliberate. In a recent interview, Schaeffer addressed the show's refusal to explicitly confirm or deny Wanda's death, stating, "It's my opinion that Agatha does not know [if Wanda is alive], and yeah, it's my opinion that Rio does." This lack of knowledge on the part of Agatha and Rio Vidal/Death leaves fans with more questions than answers.

One line from Agatha All Along has sparked particular interest among fans: Death's statement that "That witch is gone, and all copies of the Darkhold with her." Schaeffer revealed that the use of the word "gone" was specifically instructed by Marvel Studios, and it's a detail that could hold significant importance. As seen in the finale of Agatha All Along, the idea of something or someone being "gone" doesn't necessarily mean it's permanent. The episode concluded with Billy Maximoff and Agatha Harkness setting out to locate the body where Tommy's soul now resides, raising the possibility of resurrection or spirit transference.

The Dark Magic and wizarding world of the MCU has already shown that the laws of life and death are flexible and negotiable, particularly for beings with magical abilities like Wanda. Given her incredible powers and the uncertain circumstances of her supposed demise, it's possible that Wanda is not truly gone, but rather stuck in another dimension or non-physical state, waiting for a skilled sorcerer to restore her.

This theory is further supported by the events of Agatha All Along, which demonstrated that witchcraft and magic can allow for the transference of spirits and the manipulation of life and death. While we don't yet know what the future holds for Wanda Maximoff, the mysterious word "gone" and the magical world of the MCU offer a glimmer of hope that Scarlet Witch may return sooner rather than later.
