This is the Marvel website listing for the new Sorcerer Supreme #1, which launches at the end of December 2025. And it is the biggest sign that, no, it's not Magik, but Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch, is taking the role. The writer is longtime Scarlet Witch writer Steve Orlando, rather than Magik writer Ashley Allen. The artist is Bernard Chang.

Sorcerer Supreme (2025) #1
Published December 31, 2025
Writer: Steve Orlando
Penciller: Bernard Chang
Cover Artist: Lesley "Leirix" LI
THE SORCERER SUPREME IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE SORCERER SUPREME. In the aftermath of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, a new power rises. One willing to defy tradition, break every rule and chart a bold, new path. Will this rogue Sorcerer Supreme bring magic in the Marvel Universe to new heights or leave it in ruin?

Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, was created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee for X-Men #4 in 1964. Originally described as having the power to alter probability, the Scarlet Witch evolved into a powerful sorceress by the 1980s. Over time, she has learned to tap into immense magical forces, allowing her to alter reality itself. She is widely recognised as one of Marvel's most powerful heroes. Elizabeth Olsen played the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
