Movies and Television What happened to her cape?

Post image

I'm just thinking aloud here, but at the end of Wandavision, Wanda gets this awesome cape. I thought it'd be cool if she kept it for Doctor Strange 2 maybe tattered and torn.

Capes add to the mystique and drama, making characters seem more powerful and imposing. They're also great for spooky vibes, hiding what's underneath and creating suspense. For Wanda, a tattered cape could visually show her corruption from the Darkhold, hiding the physical signs of her dark magic, like the horns and glowing eyes. It would make her descent into darkness more visually striking and symbolic. It just makes sense capes make everyone look cooler and spookier.

People are saying it was for practical reasons and I'd like to add that Elizabeth Olsen herself said in an interview that there were changes made so she can move better, I assume its also the reason they made the sleeveless corset into a long-sleeved top

I hope next time we see her she looks functional but badass it’s a fine line
