Multiverse of Madness Concept Art Gives Scarlet Witch a Horrifying Flesh Crown

Concept art created for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reveals the Scarlet Witch's original horrifying crown of her own flesh.


While Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have been scary already, her first redesign was even more horrifying.


Per a selection of images posted on Reddit that originally appeared in Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: The Art of the Movie, Wanda's embracing of the Darkhold was originally meant to physically transform her. This version of the character seemingly wore her crown as he own skin with stretches of flesh covering her glowing red eyes. Several other versions continue the trend of Scarlet Witch's gruesome headpiece with one covering her in what appears to be fire and blood and another warping the actual look of the crown.


Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness shocked audiences by unleashing the full might of the Scarlet Witch on the titular superhero. Following the events of WandaVision, Elizabeth Olsen's character becomes obsessed with the possibility of leaping across realities in a bid to track down a universe where she is happy with her children. In her desperation, she attempts to harvest the powers of America Chavez, a teenager capable of ripping down the barriers of the multiverse at will, who seeks the protection and guidance of Doctor Strange himself.


Scarlet Witch Dead?


Multiverse of Madness concluded on a mysterious note as the fate of the Scarlet Witch was left widely open to interpretation. After coming to her senses, he opts to destroy Mount Wondergore and the Darkhold, seemingly burying herself in the process. While many fans believe her to be dead, others have suggested a flash of red light that erupts as the mountain topples means that Wanda somehow survived and may return in a future Marvel Cinematic Universe project.


As for Olsen, the actor has been open about the fact that even she is unaware of Marvel Studios' plans for her character. She has insisted that she may be done with the role as she wants to diversify the roles she accepts. "I’m trying to figure out…Because, specifically in the last four years, my output has been Marvel," Olsen said. "I don’t want…it’s not that I don’t want to be associated as just this character. But I really feel like I need to be building other parts back up for balance."


Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is available to stream on Disney+ and can be purchased on Digital, Blu-ray and DVD.
