Age of Ultron The Official Scarlet Witch Thread - Part 1

[TeeKay]

Yeah I agree with others here, she kinda looks like Jean Grey but I dig it. Looks good to me.

 

[AvengerPA]

higher res:

I hope she get's a real costume by the end of the film...

I think that she looks like a disaffected European youth. That is what I think she is when introduced.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

It seems some of the core elements are intact. They have the red colour scheme, they have the jacket segueing right into gloves, they have a dress, albeit not a mobility-limiting pencil skirt that goes down to her feet and leaves flowing trails to trip her up. I like the look for the movie, though more red in the outfit wouldn't hurt.

The jacket and the gloves are separate.

 

[Chewy]

They could have easily redesigned the core elements of the outfit and still make it fitting for film while being distinctly "Wanda".

What exactly is wrong with something like this:

Especially compared to what everyone else in the Avengers is wearing?

Isn't the whole point that SW and QS are very much NOT Avengers? They represent everything the Avengers are not, so I imagine the grungy plainclothes is meant to contrast the shiny pristine uniforms of the others

So what's wrong with something like that is she's a hero and an Avenger there, not a troubled, lonely outsider

higher res:

I really dig it! But this is her Hydra Outfit. I'm sure her Avengers Costume will look different. I really can't wait to see her in action!

 

[Chewy]

I wouldn't exactly bet on her having an "Avengers outfit" here. In a sequel, sure

Neither do I.

Elizabeth Olsen said she has to wear a secrecy cloak to and from set because they don't want to show what her costume looks like. She also said that her costume is elaborate. They wouldn't show her final costume in this special if they are making her do that. What they showed us in the concept art is just civilian clothes that she wears earlier in the film.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The jacket and the gloves are separate.

My point was there's no skin separating the two. You go from jacket right into the big gloves. And the gloves are pretty damn stylish, at that.

Yeah, I don't doubt she'll get a change in attire once she switches allegiance from HYDRA to SHIELD.

 

[Chewy]

They'd make her wear the cloak either way, as they want as few paparazzi photos out there as possible. And that costume looks fairly elaborate to me.

It's probably not exactly what she'll wear but it's in the ballpark

And I do not understand this "early civilian clothes" idea. Whedon's adding them to the film due to the conflict between their ideology and the Avengers'. There's no point in including them if they're just going to suit up and make nice after the first act. Maybe they'll wear something else in the final battle or something but this is likely their look for most, if not all, of the film

 

[Dev-El]

I think they're going for her Xmen Evolution look or at least a more realistic version of it. If your going to have Scarlett Witch in live action its probably the best way to go.

Another point to consider is that there isn't really such a thing as an "Avengers uniform." They all just wear their own clothes. I wouldn't have any objection to Scarlet Witch wearing something like this for the whole film. The only thing that makes me think she may get a costume change is what appears to be a HYDRA patch on her jacket in this pic.

Good point, although you can't really tell whether that's a HYDRA logo in that pic. Seems similar but it could be anything

Maybe she rips the patch off

 

[Zarex]

Scarlet Witch's power is nothing like Jean Grey's, not to mention they don't even look alike (Wanda is brunette, while Jean is a ginger), so I won't worry about that.

In an interview with Jimmy Fallon Joss mentioned that Wanda had both telekinetic powers,

Spoiler

which are revealed in the CA:TWS mid credit scene

and can "get inside your head", so there's telepathy involved as well. In terms of her power set, the MCU Scarlet Witch may be much closer to Jean Grey than her 616 counterpart.

Wanda's costume looks fine, though I think I may have bumped into her twin at a Madonna concert back in the mid 80's.

It's a HYDRA octopus....check the HD shots.

So yeah, the concept art is only for HYDRA Wanda; once she makes nice and joins the good guys, she very well may adopt a costume that's more "canon." The only question is at what point that face turn happens.

 

[hoy-small-fry]

I love the design, looks really good! But then pretty much anything would on Olsen...

Above all else it still doesn't pass the "squint test". By a raise of hands, who would've immediately recognized this as the Scarlet Witch prior to Olsen's casting?

I've the same issue with Webb's Green Goblin. It's so utterly removed from the comic book aesthetic I'm immediately turned off by it. Now, if it's a progenitor of the actual suit, ok. That's fine. But I can't be a fan of something that doesn't even resemble the basics of the character.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Even a chicken suit?

 

[BoredGuy]

Judging by the concept art of QS, I'd say this is most definitely her look at the beginning of the film, not the end

The QS pic looks like it comes later in the film, and he's wearing a much more superhero-y look, while fighting Ultrons

You can pretty much guarantee she'll have a different outfit by the end.
Whether or not it's closer to the comics, that's another question.

 

[hoy-small-fry]

Didn't your parents ever teach you its what's under the chicken suit that counts?

Have a link?

Anyway, I'm fine with her being MCU's version of Jean Grey. Wanda's powers have always seemed rather vague and undefined so making her powers easier to understand for the GA seems like a good idea. Plus, I've admittedly never been a big fan of her powers.

No, it doesn't look elaborate at all. It's jacket/gloves/and some grungy pants, the very definition of simple. Also, no one is saying that they'll "make nice and suit up" after the first act, so you clearly misinterpreted that. We're saying that they'll do that near the end of the movie, in time for the final fight.

The twins did not start out as heroes or Avengers in the comics and they won't in the movie either.
