The R&D Team is circling in on the cause of the Madness and its connectedness to the TVA ’s not - so - nonexistent Department of Deferment . But as they dig deeper into the TVA ’s secrets , they ’ll observe that some peril should never be unveil .

The Scarlet Witch of the MCU has been off the board since her supposed demise at the conclusion ofMultiverse of Madness , but Marvel Comics may have institute the perfect mode to convey her back into the fold . Trading the Illuminati for the TVA ’s chemical group of fighter , this version of Wanda returning could inflict some major legal injury on Marvel ’s entire multiverse . It ’s not confirmed that this iteration of the fictional character would actually be the exact version play by Elizabeth Olsen in Marvel ’s movies and TV , butthe unique Scarlet Witch costumeon the cover is selfsame to her last appearance .

In theTVAseries thus far , a ragtag group of multiverse - displaced Hero have been recruited by the formation to stop The Madness , an obscure entity that has been manifesting people ’s speculative fright and turn them violently against them across dozens of timeline . Although this is n’t the usual M.O. of thevarious comic variants of Wanda , the mysterious great power is passably exchangeable to tricks that the MCU ’s Scarlet Witch has used . If that variant of Wanda has been resurrected from the MCU and has initiate to plague Marvel ’s multiverse in the comics , the TVA ’s Hero of Alexandria will be in serious danger .

Peggy Carter Also Gets a Rematch Against The Scarlet Witch

One of the most memorable scenes from the MCU Scarlet Witch ’s last picnic was her swiftly kill various members of the alternate universe Illuminati ina truly impressive exhibit of raw power . If they ’re really about to enter a conflict with this Wanda , theTVAseries ’ team of heroes face a similar fate to those fall characters . Along with the various employees that make up the TVA , Gwen Stacy ’s Ghost - Spider , a variant of Gambit , Wolverine ’s son Jimmy Hudson , and Peggy Carter ’s Captain Britain chassis out the team that will go up against the baddie that has already hit multiple superheroes .

Marvel ’s new " TVA " comic series is a concrete link to the MCU , suggesting a greater academic degree of connectivity in Marvel ’s vast multimedia system Multiverse .

That version of Scarlet Witch has already killed a Peggy Carter variant in the film , in her superhero identity element as Captain Carter , so it should be interesting to see howTVA ’s Captain Britain fares in a new fight with the powerful witch . SinceMultiverse of Madness ’ Wanda was able to veil a few ofMarvel ’s major backbreaking - hitters , like versions of Captain Marvel , Black Bolt , Professor X , and Reed Richards , the odds are for sure stacked against the comic team as they face this predominant threat . However , with the limitless potential of the TVA , the multiverse - assembled squad could still stand a chance .

Scarlet Witch as The Madness is a Shocking Twist - But Shouldn’t Come as Too Much of a Surprise

The MCU to Comics Synergy is Strong in “TVA”

While the MCU version of Scarlet Witch potentially thwart over to the comic would be a surprising replication , that kind ofsynergy from the film and telly universe to the comics has been present throughout theTVAlimited serial publication . pretend asa funny rendering ofLokiseason 3 , the serial publication has get the dramatis personae of character from the Disney+ serial publication together with various comics heroes . Since there have even been references toDeadpool & Wolverine , it almost should have been obvious that The Madness villain is a character to the title of theDoctor Strangesequel where Wanda terrorized the multiverse .

It ’s potential that the version of Wanda featured on Pérez’sTVAcover is n’t really the material Scarlet Witch from the MCU , and could be another trick from the mystical villain or perhaps an very variant from another turning point of Marvel ’s multiverse . But the very similar costume and her possible unexampled identity as The Madness certainly orient to this version of Wanda dealing with the fallout ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessin the pages of Marvel Comics . If this truly is the unexpected comeback of the MCU’sScarlet Witch , the TVA could be the next affair she destroys .
