Olsen, who plays Wanda, has since teased however this won’t be the end of the character.
“I sign extensions every time they want me to do a movie,” Olsen told Collider. “I just a signed a very short one at the beginning, so everything’s constantly just, it’s always adjusting for me. No. I don’t think of this either as the end.”
She added: “I don’t know in what capacity I’ll be back. I don’t know how to do it without, I don’t want spoilers.”
Marvel’s next few projects include Disney+ series Ms. Marvel on June 8, Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love And Thunder on July 8 and Black Panther sequel Wakanda Forever on November 11.
Olsen recently made a surprise cameo in a skit on Saturday Night Live, where she joined Doctor Strange co-star Benedict Cumberbatch. You can check it out below.
The skit, titled ‘The Understudy’, sees SNL regular Chloe Fineman showcase her ability to impersonate other cast members – including Olsen.
In a three-star review of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, NME wrote: “Somehow, Sam Raimi – with strong, grounded turns from Cumberbatch and Olsen – just about keeps the film from running too far off the rails.
“There’s a thin line between fan-service and… Space Jam 2. Though Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness is a franchise eating itself, it’s a meta-meal that’s mostly fun, scary, visually bombastic and mad. Really mad.”
