In her youth Wanda Maximoff and her brother Pietro were rescued from hostile villagers by Magneto. Born with a gift for effecting improbable events through her natural acumen for hex magic; Scarlet Witch joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants under Magneto's guidance, but after battling the X-Men, turned over a new leaf as an accepted charter member of "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" - The Avengers!
Elizabeth Olsen stars as Scarlet Witch in the Disney+ television series: WandaVision. The show is very loosely inspired by storylines from the second Vision and The Scarlet Witch mini-series, and issues of Avengers West Coast, among others. The 9 episode series is Olsen's fifth outing as the character after appearing in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, and the Avengers sequels Infinity War and Endgame. She will return in the upcoming Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness.
Did You Know: As an adult Wanda learned Magneto was her true father, but this too was challenged decades later when a spell targeting her bloodline failed to impact Magneto. The High Evolutionary led her to believe The Maximoffs were her true parents all along, and she is not a mutant.
