It's no secret that Marvel Studios is the master of PG content, but sometimes, just sometimes, it gives us a glimpse of what could be if it dared to venture into the darker side of its universe.
Now let's make this clear: we're not talking about the occasional brooding Thor or a sulking Tony Stark who learned of his parent's death at the hands of Bucky. No, we're referring to the truly dark and twisted stories that characters like Wanda Maximoff (better known as Scarlet Witch) bring to the table.
Recently, the official art concept book for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness surfaced on Reddit, and Marvel fans were in for a treat - or should we say, a scare? The art depicted Scarlet Witch wearing a crown created from her own flesh. This was not some Halloween prank; this was Marvel hinting at a much darker storyline for Wanda.
The art suggests that the use of the Darkhold, the magical grimoire that holds some of the most malevolent spells, was intended to not only rob her soul but her physical appearance as well. These designs reflected how deeply corrupted Wanda had become, a far cry from the hero we once knew in the Infinity War saga.
