Scarlet Witch

Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch (born 1989), is a superhero and a major character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She first appears as a cameo character in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, one of the tritagonists (alongside Quicksilver) of Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of the major characters in both Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, and a minor character in Avengers: Endgame. She is also one of the titular protagonists (alongside Vision) of the WandaVision series and is set to return in Doctor Strange: Into the Multiverse of Madness.
She is a Sokovian native who was born with the power of chaos magic, but was experimented by HYDRA alongside her twin brother Pietro, which gave the ability of psionic manipulation. Wanting to get revenge on Tony Stark due to his weapons being used in a bombing that killed her parents, she worked with Ultron to destroy the Avengers. Once she learned of Ultron's true motives, Wanda and Pietro joined the Avengers to stop him from destroying Sokovia at the cost of her brother's life. Wanda would remain with the Avengers until the Sokovia Accords was created, and clashed with Iron Man's faction before being briefly imprisoned in the Raft.
Living with her boyfriend Vision, Wanda returned to the Avengers to stop Thanos from obtaining the Infinity Stones to wipe out half of the universe. She was among the causalities of the snap, but was resurrected in 2023 by the Hulk, and assisted the Avengers in fighting Thanos. After the defeat of the mad titan, Wanda attended Stark's funeral to honor his sacrifice, but was left with grief and personal loss of Vision. Using her chaos magic, Wanda created an idyllic life in Westview, enthralling its citizens to live peacefully with her own creation of Vision. When her neighbor, Agatha Harkness, wanted to take her chaos magic, Wanda decided to stop her before ending her idyllic life to understand her powers from reading the Darkhold.
She is portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen.
