Photograph: Courtesy of Marvel Studios/APĪt the centre of Wanda’s focus is teenager America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), who has the power to jump between universes but initially cannot control it. How did you feel about her transition to supervillain? America Chavez, the horror, the horror, and inter-dimensional anticsĪll for America … from left, Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr Strange. Fortunately Olsen makes a wickedly evil protagonist, and one we know from the events of Wandavision is now powered-up to the extent that even Strange can’t take her down. And yes, it’s a pity this ties into the sexist “mad mom” narrative that sees mothers as over-emotional creatures who make bad decisions because they love their children. Her only mission is to reunite herself with the twin sons she discovered during Wandavision, Wiccan and Speed, having worked out that numerous alternative realities exist in which she and they live contented lives together. Despite having apparently found some kind of peace at the tail end of Disney+’s Wandavision, when she finally worked out it wasn’t cool to trap an entire town in her own heavily-stylised and rapidly shifting version of reality, Wanda now seems to have cracked again after coming into her full powers and chancing upon an evil book of dark magic known as the Darkhold. It has been quite the journey for Olsen’s character, from minor eastern European supervillain to fully paid-up member of the Avengers, to all-American housewife and now back to baddie in Multiverse of Madness. Which witch? … Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff in Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.
