Marvel Comics has recently teased a possible romance between Loki and Scarlet Witch, evident from a new comic cover. In a year filled with controversial moments in the comic book world, both DC and Marvel have been making bold moves.
Are Loki And Wanda About To Hook Up?
Marvel Comics announced the potential connection between Loki and Scarlet Witch through a captivating cover for Scarlet Witch #8, illustrated by Russell Dauterman. The cover portrays the two characters on the verge of kissing, accompanied by the text “MISCHIEF AND CHAOS COLLIDE!” prominently displayed above them. While further details about their potential relationship remain scarce, Marvel tweeted about the upcoming storyline, stating, “This September, Wanda and Loki fall under each other’s spell as mischief and chaos collide in ‘Scarlet Witch’ #8.”
This revelation follows the introduction of Kat Dennings’ portrayal of Dr. Darcy Lewis, who appeared in both WandaVision and Thor: Love and Thunder, in a recent Scarlet Witch comic run.
Potential Power Dynamics And Unleashed Chaos
Based on the current hints, it appears that Wanda Maximoff and Loki might become the notable couple of fall 2023. Although both characters have shown romantic interests in others in the comics (most notably Vision for Wanda), this potential connection between Loki and Scarlet Witch presents a unique intertwining of their paths.
The combination of Loki’s mischievous and conniving nature, alongside Scarlet Witch’s inclination for chaos and her sometimes universe-altering destructive magic, has the potential to create an unprecedented power dynamic in the Marvel Comics universe. Fans may find themselves unprepared for the consequences that could arise if the two actually become a couple.
However, it’s important to note that the storyline’s description, “God vs. Witch!” from Marvel, suggests that the duo might be pitted against each other rather than pursuing a romantic relationship. Perhaps the narrative will involve destructive one-upmanship intertwined with a flirtatious and playful dynamic, as Wanda tries to thwart Loki while simultaneously attempting to court him.
