Scarlet Witch appears in Multiverse of Madness, having mastered Chaos Magic and resolved to reunite with her sons Billy and Tommy in a parallel universe after the events of WandaVision. Wanda chases America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) in doctor Strange 2 for her power to navigate the multiverse, influenced by the Darkhold book, while doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) tries to protect America and find the Darkhold's antithesis, the Book of Vishanti. The Scarlet Witch's desire to slaughter all who stand in her way defines her as a monster on the surface, but there's a lot more to her than that.
Wanda lives in the grey region between hero and villain, driven mostly by her personal interests rather than a desire for power, as she endures tragedy after tragedy. Thanos, Loki, The Winter Soldier, Black Panther's Erik Killmonger, and Shang-Chi and the legend of the Ten Rings' Wenwu coexist with more sympathetic and nuanced opponents like Thanos, Loki, The Winter Soldier, Black Panther's Erik Killmonger, and Shang-Chi and the legend of the Ten Rings' Wenwu. In doctor Strange 2, the Scarlet Witch defies Marvel's long-held tenet that a villain must remain a villain regardless of their intentions.
Multiverse of Madness establishes the Scarlet Witch in a league of her own among MCU villains by highlighting Wanda's distinctiveness and the harsh judgement of her character.
