Avengers: Age of Ultron - Who is the Scarlet Witch?

So Avengers: Age of Ultron is coming soon to cinemas around the world, and one new member of the team is turning some heads! Elizabeth Olsen made her on-screen début as the magic-wielding sorceress in the end-credits scene of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and  was referred to as a 'miracle' alongside her on-screen twin brother Quicksilver - played by Aaron Taylor Johnson - by Hydra boss Baron von Strucker. 

In this article I will be taking you through the powers, affiliations and back-story of the Scarlet Witch (meaning there will be spoilers from the comics in this post). However this may result in very minor spoilers for the upcoming films in the MCU, but this is all speculation, so do not fear...

The tension was high and so were the stakes, so read on to hear more about my thoughts. 

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2 Speculation

CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR CATCHING FIRE AND MOCKINGJAY PARTS 1 AND 2

On thursday, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 will be released across the UK, and I sincerely cannot wait to see it. I remember seeing Catching Fire in the cinema very vividly. As you may recall from my review, the cinema erupted into applause not once, not twice but three times - something rare in the more conservative UK movie going audience. The cliff hanger of District 12's destruction was powerful despite me already having read the book, and so I will now try to discuss where I believe Mockingjay Part 1 should leave off...
