What's that saying, "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". That's sadly the case with Elizabeth Olsen's 'Wanda Maximoff' who has been corrupted by the first demon Chthon's spell book, The Darkhold, in Marvel Studios new movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In the MCU film directed by Sam Raimi, she wants to steal the powers of the multiverse-hopping 'America Chavez', who is under the protection of the Master of the Mystic Arts, in order to be reunited with her children and have the power to find any possible cure for them in the future from across the multiverse if they become sick.
Scarlet Witch costume worn by Elizabeth Olsen
in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
This spellbinding costume was photographed on display at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre on May 9, 2022.
Olsen's 'Scarlet Witch' costume first made its debut in the WandaVision series finale and was designed by Costume Designer Mayes C. Rubeo and Marvel Studios Concept Artist Andy Park.
This evolved, or devolved version, is by Costumer Designer Graham Churchyard and now has added sleeves that wrap around her thumbs, plus the skirt detail is frayed at the edges as if her costume has been corrupted by the Chaos Magic she wields. There's also a fractured, or splintered, chest piece design which seems to radiate out from her heart in this creepier, witchier red, black and burgundy outfit. And her dark crown seems less of a regal statement of power and more of devilish horns this time around.
Some fans may be confused, or betrayed, by Wanda's descent into madness, corruption and murder, but The Darkhold is called the Book of the Damned for a reason. She does redeem herself by movie's end by destroying all the Darkhold books throughout the multiverse and seemingly taking her own life.
Fans of the actress can also enjoy her previous Wanda Maximoff costumes from the Avengers movies.
Plus stay tuned in the days to come for more screen-worn costumes from Doctor Strange 2 on display.
