Is Jac Schaeffer the key to tapping Scarlet Witch’s full potential in the MCU? Here’s why she should lead every Wanda-focused project moving forward.
Wanda Maximoff’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) feels imminent, with Kevin Feige hinting it’s only a matter of when and how. Elizabeth Olsen is likely to return in a standalone Scarlet Witch movie, or possibly a second season of WandaVision. But whatever the project, one Marvel Studios writer/producer should be involved — ideally in a leading role.
In her last appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda sacrifices herself to destroy Mount Wundagore and destroy every copy of the Darkhold across the multiverse. Even Agatha All Along suggests that Wanda is gone for good. But in the MCU, no one is ever truly “dead,” especially with the multiverse still in play. So, imagining a “Scarlet Witch will return” title card has appeared, who should take the reins of her next project? The answer lies in looking back at someone who led the teams of both WandaVision and Agatha All Along: Jac Schaeffer. Who Should Oversee All Scarlet Witch Projects From Now?
Marvel Studios doesn’t need to look any further than Jac Schaeffer for any upcoming project involving the Scarlet Witch. As the creator of WandaVision and Agatha All Along, Schaeffer has proven her mettle, and the universal acclaim of both shows is proof of her talent. Her presence is crucial for any future film or series featuring the sorceress or related characters. In fact, if a standalone Scarlet Witch film is in the works, there’s a strong case for Schaeffer to take on the director’s role.
