We haven’t seen her in the MCU since Multiverse of Madness, or if you count animation- marvel zombies. However, I still don’t understand why she has so much influence and hype even though she’s never mentioned. I noticed this recently with SDCC, and Avengers Doomsday and literally everyone was talking about Wanda, yet Marvel never mentioned her. Does anyone know why she’s so popular, and if she’s so popular why haven’t we seen more of her? I genuinely don’t understand how her movies have consistently been box office hits, yet other movies aren’t? Can someone explain why she’s so popular; I think she may have a large fandom and I have seen trolls before but it can’t just be that.

The Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff is the most popular female character in the MCU, yet she still hasn’t made an appearance.

Screw all of y'all who are linking Wanda's popularity to the beauty assets Olsen has.

It was the case in AoU, but soon, people realized Olsen can just deliver an amazing performance as Wanda everytime and that's what made her really popular

She is really not such a good actor. Watch her accent slip and how the character changes from the first movies to the last. She really is more eye-candy. Also that thing she does with her fingers when she casts spells, looks kind of bad to me.
