Marvel announces its new ‘Sorcerer Supreme’

Steve Orlando and Bernard Chang will plot a new course for the Scarlet Witch in December.

With the One World Under Doom crossover series set to wrap up in November, Marvel has been teasing a new character will step into the role as sorcerer supreme — someone besides Doom or the traditional bearer of the title, Doctor Strange.

This week Marvel revealed who would take on the job when the Sorcerer Supreme title launches in December, and it is none other than the mystical Avenger, the Scarlet Witch. The tale of how she gets her new gig will be told by longtime Scarlet Witch scribe Steve Orlando, joined by artist Bernard Chang.

“When it comes to the Scarlet Witch…anything’s possible,” Orlando said. “Those are the words Wanda lives by, and they’re the words we as creators live by, too.

Marvel’s Imperial is the gift that keeps on giving. The miniseries that’s redefining Marvel’s cosmic characters — and spinning off many of them into their own series — will also give us a new Wiccan miniseries.

Wiccan: Witches Road is a five-issue miniseries by Wyatt Kennedy and Andy Pereira. And while Wiccan and Hulkling have been out in space since Hulkling became leader of the Kree/Skrull Alliance, this miniseries will bring Wiccan back to his mystical roots — which should please fans of the Disney+ series Agatha All Along.

“It’s a real thrill to be able to take Billy in such an unexpected direction and put him out of his element, introducing a new villain and a surprising ally that I know fans have been wanting to see,” Kennedy said. “Obviously getting the chance to write one of Marvel’s best couples is a joy, but I’m really excited to dive deep into who Billy is as a single individual and explore what his title as Wiccan really means to both himself and the greater Marvel universe.”
