Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was a phenomenal movie that set the Box Office on fire. Marvel fans loved it and the conversation about the MCU film still continues months after its release. The plot was epic and the performances by the main characters were top-notch. Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch in the movie was especially noteworthy.
The ending sequence of the film was quite intriguing. Wanda Maximoff sacrificing herself and apparently dying was a site to watch! She destroyed the Wundagore Castle and seemingly died there and then. However, many fans are skeptical and believe that Wanda Maximoff, one way or the other, escaped death!
Fans Speculate About The Scarlet Witch’s Fate
Many fans have come up with theories about Wanda Maximoff’s fate after the ending scene in Doctor Strange 2. Some like Twitter user @zwollenaar1987 speculate that the red light that flashes when the castle collapses suggests that the Scarlet Witch may have teleported.
“Wanda can’t be dead right? Even though it looked like it when she brought down mount Wundagore on herself. I saw a red light flash.”
Other fans on Twitter have suggested the same. @McR1B69 writes:
“I wanted Wanda to be dead but I just noticed a little red flash after the building comes down on her. Could be used to retcon that she teleported out at the last second or something.”
Considering that the character Scarlet Witch has the ability to teleport in the comics, it is entirely possible that she may have survived the destruction.
