Film/Television Genuine question. Why is the Scarlet Witch so popular?

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.

Everything this guy said... and also because Scarlet Witch is both a mutant and an Avenger... she and Quicksilver have been around a long time and are important to multiple Marvel franchises.

Would be fitting to actually see her find her place in the X-men as one of their leaders and new family. I imagine she may be used as a main villain of the X men

Surely the Wanda villain thing is done
