Evan Rachel Wood and James Marsden on Westworld S4
What we know about their return, so far. (kinda spoilery) And a little bit of theory.
1. At least on the surface, it looks like they will both be playing different characters. During the ATX Festival, Evan herself said that Dolores is definitely dead, and that she’ll be playing a writer named Christina.

2. We know Christina will be dating James Marsden’s character.

Here’s my theory on what might happen on S4.
From the trailer they showed on the ATX festival, an announcement was made that a Delos expansion has happened. “We’ve created our own new world,” Host? William said. From the teaser trailer, we’ve seen clips of what looks like a futuristic New York.
I think Christina is a new host but is still Dolores underneath. And James Marsden’s character is still Teddy.
I’m convinced that this scene in the teaser suggests a similar loop to Teddy picking up the can of milk that Dolores dropped.
Also, Christina is wearing Dolores’ clothes in this set leak.
Found this photo just now on Twitter.

At first, I didn't really like what they did with Dolores in Season 2. She seemed like more of a 2-dimensional villain now. But upon rewatch, the weren't trying to set her up as a villain. She's intimidating, sure, and ruthless. But at no point does she do anything that's actually malicious. She knows that no matter what she does, a lot of people are going to die, and she has a clear idea of what she needs to do next in spite of this fact. She definitely has an "the ends will justify the means" mentality, but Westworld is one of the few shows I've seen that has had the balls to say, "Hey if the ENDS are stopping slavery, and the MEANS are killing the masters in cold blood, maybe there's a little more to this MORALITY thing than how confidently a radical pursues her goal". She doesn't hurt anyone innocent, and when someone resists her will, she'll voice her concerns but ultimately she respects their choice. She still feels genuine remorse for her oversights/things beyond her control.
THIS is what an anti-hero is! Not just "A bad person who we have to like because they're the main character". Seasons 2 & 3 don't try to make revolution look pretty or one-sided. But it also doesn't pretend like the hero is an irredeemable monster the second that upsetting the status quo starts to result in bloodshed... namely because the status quo was in itself horrible and violent, so blaming the victim for going "too far" to demand equal rights would be a tad intellectually dishonest. (Not that being intellectually dishonest has stopped other shows from framing the debate this way HINT HINT!) But yeah. When given more time to mull it over, I have to say she looks pretty hot in that ammo belt.
