It is only fair to speculate that this might mark a return for Olsen as the character in an MCU solo project, and those speculations might be fully realized later.
This mainly comes from the simple fact that Marvel Comics rarely makes solo comic book projects if they do not wish to use them in the MCU itself. So maybe we will be seeing Olsen return as an Avenger shortly to the MCU!

It’s been reported that Maximoff is now reborn as a hero in the Marvel Universe, and is willing to use her powers in a new way to help those who need them the most. This comes after her redemption inX-Men: Trial of Magneto.

In the official Marvel announcement post on their website that reveals the first look ofScarlet Witch,the writer had some words for the upcoming comic book series-
“Since I first stepped into the House of Ideas, the Scarlet Witch has been with me – in fact, she was the star of my first Marvel work ever, kicking ass, weaving spells, and humbling Doom in Darkhold! So, there was no way I could pass up the chance to work on Scarlet Witch”
“Wanda Maximoff has finally broken free of the shadows she’s wrestled with for years. And now? Sara Pichelli, Russell Dauterman, and I are unveiling the next chapter of her powerful, improbable, magical life. When you have nowhere else to turn…you turn to the Scarlet Witch. And God help anyone who gets in her way.”
That’s a truly exciting statement for the upcoming series, and we couldn’t be any less excited about its release. Let’s hope this also means that we’ll be seeing a new solo MCU movie for the character sometime sooner than later.
Scarlet Witch, based on Wanda Maximoff, will be debuting in January.
