Zack Sharf Digital News Director Elizabeth Olsen has no idea when she will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, but she’s hoping her character finds humor and redemption whenever that time comes. Scarlet Witch was the villain of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which ended with the character being crushed under a collapsing building after she sacrificed herself to destroy the Darkhold, the evil book of sorcery that had corrupted her. “We can do anything with her now!” Olsen recently told ScreenRant about Scarlet Witch’s next appearance. “I feel like we’ve done so much. Now, we can really have fun; I feel like there’s a lot more humor to be had with her. She’s often the emotion of a story, and I’m curious to see what we can explore. And hopefully [we can] give her some redemption.”

Another season of Love Island came to a close on Monday 13 January, with Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan announced as the winners of the winter 2023 series. The series, which was the second ever winter edition of the ITV2 dating show, ended on Monday with Maya Jama presenting the grand finale live from the iconic villa in South Africa. The final episode included the finalists' heartwarming declarations of love as well as clips from their last ever day in the villa, and each couple got to look back at their highlights as they sat down with Maya, 28, for a live interview.

Despite the fact Love Island contestants spend a vast amount of time in the villa in swimwear, that hasn’t stopped the girls from turning out some seriously enviable looks this season. From bombshell episodes to dramatic recouplings, the drama has been high this season, and if one thing is for sure, it’s that the Islanders aren’t missing an opportunity to pull out some show stopping outfits as they try to find love in the villa.

Another season of Love Island is set to soon draw to a close, with the final of the winter 2023 series scheduled to air on Monday 13 January. Just four couples are left in the villa and one pairing will be crowned the winners of the series, with viewers asking to vote for either Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi or Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad.

If there was one character that seems to have gone through a hell of a lot in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen. Heartbroken after ‘Infinity War’ and the death of her love, Vision, Scarlet Witch created a new reality in “WandaVision” and then went on a massive, multiversal killing spree in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” seemingly dying at the end.
