Marvel Launches Sorcerer Supreme Starring Wanda Maximoff on Dec. 31
The official comic positions Wanda at the center of Marvel’s magic during a Doom-focused MCU phase.
Overview
- Marvel Comics confirmed the series with Steve Orlando writing, Bernard Chang on art, main and variant covers by Leirix, and new costume and variants by Russell Dauterman.
- Set after “One World Under Doom,” the story finds the mantle vacant as the Vishanti reject Wanda, appoint Agatha Harkness, and send Wanda into a confrontation that leads her to Limbo under Madelyne Pryor.
- A leaked first-look panel reported by Bleeding Cool shows Wanda holding the Eye of Agamotto and the Cloak of Levitation, signaling classic Sorcerer Supreme iconography.
- Earlier this year, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal confirmed Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, while Benedict Cumberbatch was notably absent from the lineup.
- Coverage notes that Elizabeth Olsen’s return as Scarlet Witch in live action is unconfirmed, and any links between the comic shift and upcoming MCU films remain speculative.
