Once he secured his new powers, Doom used them to conquer the world in the 2025 crossover event One World Under Doom. But now with Doom defeated, Wanda\u2019s ready to take on the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme. But there\u2019s one big problem: the Vishanti.<\/p>\n<p>The trio has chosen instead Wanda\u2019s mentor, Agatha Harkness\u2014generally a sage crone in the Marvel Universe, only recently de-aged to better match the snarky character that Kathryn Hahn plays in the MCU. When Wanda defies the Vishanti by refusing to give up the title, she\u2019s sent to Limbo (Marvel\u2019s version of Hell), where she comes face to face with its current ruler, the Goblin Queen Madelyne Pryor, who MCU fans might know as the evil clone of Jean Grey recently seen in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/x-men\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X-Men \u201997<\/a>. Fortunately, Wanda doesn\u2019t need to go through Limbo alone, as she can count on the help of her council, which includes her son Wiccan of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/young-avengers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Young Avengers<\/a> and, of course, Doctor Strange himself.<\/p>\n<p>But Wanda\u2019s best ally is the person writing her adventures. Orlando has been doing excellent work on the character for years now, penning both her solo series and her series with brother Pietro in the miniseries Scarlet Witch &amp; Quicksilver.<\/p>\n<p>Even with such forces behind her and such great power at her disposal, things will be hard for the Scarlet Witch. But that\u2019s always how it is for Wanda Maximoff, whether in the pages of Marvel Comics or in live-action adventures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n<p>Sorcerer Supreme #1 hits comic store shelves on December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Doom gained the title in the 2024 crossover event Blood Hunt, in which vampires launched an all-out assault&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-237229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
