Marvel officially reveals the next Sorcerer Supreme, taking up the mantle after Doctor Doom is defeated. Having stopped the Blood Hunt with help from Doctor Strange's Sorcerer Supreme powers, Doctor Doom stole the title and conquered the world. However, Doom's time as Sorcerer Supreme was limited, as a new hero would eventually take his power away.
As Doom's reign ends, Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. Scarlet Witch is officially set to become Marvel's next Sorcerer Supreme, Marvel confirms. Wanda will star in her own series, Sorcerer Supreme, starting December 2025. Cover variants suggest Wiccan, Agatha Harkness, Stephen Strange, and Chthon will be involved.

Scarlet Witch’s ascension to Sorcerer Supreme felt inevitable. Wanda Maximoff has evolved from an unstable powerhouse into one of Marvel’s most disciplined magic users. Her recent victories over the Griever at the End of All Things, Gargantos, and some of Hadad's Black Winters prove that she operates on a cosmic scale few can match. After years of struggle, magic now bends at her will.

Wanda's Power Might Make Her Even More Dangerous Than Doctor Doom

The Sorcerer Supreme power elevated Doctor Doom's already well-developed magic skills to godlike levels, granting him control over time and the power to reshape reality. In Wanda’s hands, the Sorcerer Supreme’s might could push her far beyond anything the Marvel Universe has ever witnessed. The terrifying question is whether any mortal being, even one as evolved as Wanda, can truly contain that kind of power.
The same power that might make Wanda the best Sorcerer Supreme in history could also make her the most dangerous. While she’s overcome the instability of her House of M era, her potential for chaos still lingers deep within her. A single emotional fracture or external manipulation could unleash devastation on a multiversal scale. If Wanda were ever to lose control again, even for a moment, it could be game over.
