AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Star Elizabeth Olsen Talks About The Possibility Of A Solo SCARLET WITCH Movie

@TheBeard - @TheUnworthyThor - It hasn't been 100% confirmed yet,but it does have a very reliable source.So the likely hood of this being true is pretty good.

@BlackBeltJones - I totally agree, she would be great in Dr Strange 2

@JustAChillFan - No imagination whatsoever. Jessica Jones S1 takes place roughly after Age of Ultron right? Where is Scarlet Witch? She's in Avengers compound, you think she not allowed any downtime? To explore New York? You know considering Avengers Compound is in New York. I think someone fresh from Sokovia would love to explore New York in her downtime, then she bumps into Jessica Jones on her travels, maybe she see's jessica fighting some dude, notices she's weirdly strong and is intrigued by her or they get into a fight. There's about 1000 scenarios you could write, that's what writers do.

And yes Jessica for no reason can't be controlled by Kilgrave then she suddenly has this unexplained will makes so much more sense than the mind bending Witch putting a blocker spell on her brain.

@JustAChillFan - "it's that the traumatic event of killgrave making her kill someone breaks his control over her." LAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEE I always hated that in S1 made no sense. Why is her experience the only one powerful enough to break free of Kilgrave's control? So his power is useless if he uses it too much on you? What a cop out! [frick] real life Psychology he's using mind control pheromone powers, it's a massive cop out. In the comics Jean Grey has to put a protection spell on her to block Kilgrave out so she can beat him, that makes more sense not this Dues Ex Psychobabbel.

Jessica Jones S1 is PRE Civil War! You really think they kept Wanda on lockdown when she became an Avenger? She literally was about to go out to pick up some paprika in the movie before Vision stopped her and jests to Tony about him locking her in the room. Yes I absolutely believe she would be allowed and was exploring New York PRE Sokovia Accords/Lagos incident on her downtime.

How is her bumping into Jessica Contrived? Lady Sif appearing in Agents of Shield was far more contrived but that still happened! It's like saying Guardians coming to earth to fight alongside the Avengers is contrived, it's not. You write a reason why they go to earth just like they'd have written a reason why Scarlet Witch is in Hell's Kitchen, she's exploring New York! You could even have Avengers Agents accompanying her or she could be traveling incognito, use your goddamn imagination and stop thinking so limited.

If Infinity War wasn't already happening and someone suggested it you're the kinda person to say the idea is contrived, I bet before Avengers 1 happened you'd probably also say a team up movie between separate franchises was contrived. We have Spider F'N Man in the MCU forced into the small 2 hours of Civil War! Tony just pulls him out of nowhere but that's fine, not contrived at all? And now you're saying Scarlet Witch can't even go on a F'N day trip around New York her new city?? In the words of Chandler Bing; could you BE anymore narrow minded?

Her meeting Jessica in S1 accomplishes so many things in universe and out of universe it's perfect.

1. At the end of Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch is officially living in New York, where Jessica also happens to live, yes Upstate New York is far from hell's Kitchen but if I was a Sokovian immigrant fresh in New York you're damn sure I'd want to travel and look around and I bet you off screen Wanda did that regardless, even if (which I doubt) she had to sneak out.

2. It's a perfect answer of how to get Jessica immune to Kilgrave's mind control, much better than TRAUMA, OVERUSE OF POWER ON ONE PERSON. It's in line with the comics too, just swapping out Jean Grey with Scarlet Witch as they have similar powers and it's not a dues ex machina as Wanda has been established with those powers in the previous Age of Ultron film and the comics.

3. It's an epic crossover that would make the fans of the show erupt with joy and even you would've loved it, it's easy to hate on it now because it didn't happen but if it was written to happen in the show suddenly you'd hail marvel as your gods for officially crossing over Netflix with the films.

4. And finally it helps bridge the link between The Defenders and The Avengers if they had the balls to put them in Infinity War or Avengers 4 not to mention tests the waters for a Scarlet Witch Netflix show which is already being talked about in this thread.

Not only do i think this is far from contrived but I think not having her in Jessica Jones was a missed opportunity because of how much sense it made.

@JustAChillFan - Great argument, top notch. I'm sure that's what DC and Fox tell themselves too. A giant purple alien man with colourful super gems fighting roughly 30 superheroes is about be the biggest movie of the year and you can't wrap your head around Scarlet Witch showing up in a Jessica Jones Netflix episode, even though it's already happened on Agents of Shield with Samuel L Jackson and Lady Sif.

SMDH.

@JustAChillFan - I really don't get your problem with this,

Lady Sif was trying to chase down a Rogue Asgardian? Why do you think that storyline exists in the first place? To give a reason why she's cameoing.

You want me to write a reason why Scarlet Witch bumps into Jessica Jones, in New York where they both live? Why does Jessica bump into Luke Cage? Into Daredevil? Into Kilgrave? Why would Scarlet need to inform the other Avengers? Did Falcon inform the other Avengers when Ant-Man infiltrated THIER BASE!?
The Avengers clearly know other "gifted" exist as evidence with Tony and Vision in Civil War, Spider-Man in Civil War was contrived but I'm sure you're fine with that?

You only need to write a reason why she doesn't inform them, you write a reason why she bumps into Jessica Jones.

1. Scarlet Witch is traveling around New York on her downtime, shopping, tourism, curiosity, a solo mission seriously you could make up 1000 reasons why she's in Hell's Kitchen it's really not important, she see's Jessica Jones beating up some dude and assumes she's hurting him and Scarlet Witch as a hero naturally tries to help him, her and Jessica get into a fight, they find out that they're basically on the same team, Scarlet WItch says she's new to New York, Jessica is curious about her powers, Jessica finds out she's an Avenger they talk, eventually Kilgrave comes up and Scarlet says she'll take care of him Jessica probably would say she wants to handle Kilgrave alone Wanda says she'll help Jessica in a different way and does her magic mind bending stuff to Jessica. Wanda tries to recruit Jessica to the Avengers, Jessica says no she doesn't want to join any lame superhero team (this is before defenders so it makes sense).

There's 100's of other smarter ways you could introduce her too but I'm not going to brainstorm them here for you who clearly doesn't want to admit defeat, arguing about how his lack of imagination and narrow mind makes sense. If I said Lady Sif should cameo in Agents of Shield I'm sure you'd say it's contrived too, why would an Asgardian be on Agents of Shield? That's what writing is! You make it work in the plot!
