WandaVision season 2 could happen, according to star Elizabeth Olsen. The first of Disney+'s MCU shows, WandaVision will officially begin Phase 4 of the MCU when it hits the streamer on January 15. It will also kick off a banner year for the studio that will see Marvel release several shows and four movies in 2021. All of them will be part of the same interconnected story in typical Marvel fashion.
WandaVision will lead directly into the Doctor Strange sequel Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, as will the Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel. Plot details have been kept under wraps for WandaVision with a level of secrecy that rivals the studio's biggest films. Still, information has been gleaned from trailers and promotional materials and it's clear that Wanda and Vision's suburban dream is not all that it seems.
Things will come to a head in the final three episodes of WandaVision, but that may not be the end of the road for the series. In a new interview with Collider, Olsen is asked if Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness will act as WandaVision season 2. Olsen laughs this off before saying, "I guess the answer is that [WandaVision] could [get a second season]." Olsen ultimately says that she is unsure if it will because she doesn't have that information, but her answer is still telling.
The fact that WandaVision could get a second season is telling in and of itself. Olsen clearly doesn't know the end of Wanda Maximoff's story, and it seems that neither WandaVision nor Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness will provide those answers. It's already clear that Marvel has big plans for Scarlet Witch. Her unique set of powers not only make her one of the strongest heroes in the MCU roster, but they also seem uniquely connected to the future of the MCU and the upcoming exploration of the Multiverse.
Wanda's prominence in the MCU is only growing, and her story is nowhere near its end, but that may not be the case for her partner. Going into WandaVision, fans know that Paul Bettany's sentient super machine is already dead, having been dispatched by Thanos at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. This realization could lead to Wanda's eventual breakdown and her potentially explosive reaction at the end of WandaVision's run of episodes. The show is already set to explore her trauma and grief, but WandaVision may need more than nine episodes to do that and it looks like a deeper exploration after the show's first season isn't off the table.
