Elizabeth Olsen Calls for MCU to Adapt Controversial 'House of M' at LA Comic-Con

The comment revives speculation about how Marvel will handle mutants, with no plan announced by the studio.

Overview

  • Speaking on a panel in Los Angeles with Paul Bettany, Olsen said she wants the MCU to take on House of M and referenced the storyline’s famous 'no more mutants' moment.
  • House of M, a 2005 Marvel Comics event centered on Wanda reshaping reality and depowering most mutants, is considered challenging to translate given the MCU’s gradual mutant rollout.
  • Wanda’s on-screen status remains unresolved after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and subsequent references in Disney+ series left her fate unclear.
  • Inverse highlights unconfirmed theories that Disney+’s Vision Quest, set for 2026, could incorporate elements of House of M, noting Bettany’s description of the show’s themes and the showrunner’s LA Comic-Con presence.
  • ComicBook.com reports Olsen’s use of 'we' when discussing Marvel’s future, which the outlet reads as a hint of ongoing ties, while broader expectations point to Avengers films integrating X-Men without any House of M adaptation confirmed.
