Marvel Comics fans had been eagerly anticipating the official transformation of Wanda Maximoff into the Scarlet Witch since her debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Right from the beginning, the MCU implemented several strong alterations to the character. Scarlet Witch’s transition from villain to hero was fast, but WandaVision readied fans for her true villain arc. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opened the door to the multiverse for the MCU, and fans were eager to see mutants join the fray — especially since Wanda is a mutant in the comics, and the X-Men rights had just been acquired from Fox.Going from beloved hero to villain is a difficult arc to portray well, and adaptations of iconic comic arcs of this nature have often disappointed fans. Fox has tried twice to bring the famous “Dark Phoenix Saga” storyline from the X-Men comics to the movies, where Jean Grey becomes the malevolent Dark Phoenix. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was a chance for the MCU to reintroduce one of its strongest characters with a well-executed character arc. Sadly, the movie failed to do so, making the same errors as X-Men: The Last Stand and Dark Phoenix.Although Wanda’s character has taken on various forms, she’s always been the adopted daughter of Magneto, a notorious X-Men antagonist, Romani and Jewish, and a mutant. Thus, a Wanda that was entirely Eastern European with abilities that stemmed from an Infinity Stone was a significant departure. The reboot of Wanda’s backstory as well as Fox’s X-Men cameos in WandaVision excited fans due to the MCU’s acquisition of the X-Men. The iconic arc from the X-Men comic books, the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” sees Jean Grey becoming a powerful villain after being corrupted by an outside entity, but this has yet to be successfully adapted in cinema.RELATED: The MCU Needs to Reboot – But Just a Little Bit
