Scarlet Witch has played a vital role in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Captain America: Civil War." So does this mean that Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. Scarlet Witch is ready for her very own movie? Elizabeth Olsen, who plays the fictional superhero, may have her reservations but she is not shooting down the idea.
If Scarlet Witch will be given a chance to have a solo movie, it will definitely diversify the current slate of Marvel Films. Since the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe remains firmly a male-lead affair, it is going to be refreshing to finally have a female lead Marvel movie. So is Elizabeth Olsen up for it?

Despite the exciting news of a possible "Scarlet Witch" movie, not all Marvel fans are happy about it. Many preferred that Marvel will prioritize a Black Widow movie first before jumping into Scarlet Witch story. Since being introduced in 2010, Black Widow has been an important player in Marvel. However, aside from Hawkeye, Black Widow is the only one of the Avengers to not star in her own movie. This has been to the dismay of many fans, including actor Clark Gregg, a.k.a. Phil Coulson on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., who believes it's time for Black Widow to go on her own adventure.
