Steve Orlando Wraps His Scarlet Witch Run at Marvel

Steve Orlando has closed the book on his run writing Scarlet Witch at Marvel. The writer confirmed the exit with a farewell note thanking fans for following Wanda Maximoff through the series, signing off with a nod to one of the character's own signature lines about possibility and "sufficient cause."

Orlando's time on the title leaned into Wanda's messier corners - her guilt, her power, and her complicated standing with the rest of the Marvel Universe - rather than playing her purely as a cosmic-level problem solver. Marvel hasn't named a successor yet, but has teased that Scarlet Witch will resurface in unspecified future projects, suggesting this is a pause on ongoing solo stories rather than a full retirement of the character.

No word yet on who picks up Wanda next, but given how rarely she stays out of the spotlight in the current Marvel lineup, expect an announcement sooner rather than later.
