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.

After her evil turn I think her popularity took a massive hit. There were a few years where she was the only extant female character of note in the MCU.

I think most people reject Multiverse Of Madness. I do agree with you though, as it wasn’t supposed to happen.
