Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch costume from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on display...

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.

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.

Scarlet Witch and Vision costumes from the Avengers movies on display...

As it's the season of the witch in the run up to Halloween, today I thought I'd showcase two costumes worn by Elizabeth Olsen as 'Scarlet Witch' in Marvel Studios blockbuster Avengers movies. In addition, they also had her significant other, Paul Bettany's 'Vision' costume, on display as part of Marvel Studios retrospective costume exhibit at this year's D23 Expo in Anaheim, California on August 23, 2019.

This little seen super-heroic black and red costume (designed by Alexandra Byrne I believe), briefly appeared at the end of the movie when a new generation of Avengers recruits was assembled by 'Captain America' and 'Black Widow', including the 'Vision', 'Falcon' and 'War Machine'.

Plus you can also see the other costumes 'Wanda Maximoff' and her brother 'Quicksilver' wear earlier in Avengers: Age of Ultron, when they were manipulated by Hydra and 'Ultron' into being enemies of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

This look first appeared in Captain America: Civil War and you can get a closer look at this Scarlet Witch movie costume designed by Judianna Makovsky when it was previously on display.

Paul Bettany's Vision costume may not be the best photographed through the reflective display case, but it's the first time I've seen it up close in person. It was also great to see the costume worn by the Synthezoid Avenger from back and front, as his cape is pretty detailed and impressive.

This superhero costume was once again by Costume Designer Alexandra Byrne and features a muscle suit underneath.

We'll next see these two heroes in the Disney+ streaming service Marvel Studios TV series WandaVision, and I for one can't wait to see more of these characters.
