Park recently uploaded an early concept art of Wanda’s costume design to her Instagram page, which featured a more rounded crown, diadem-shaped, whose dark red color matched her leather jacket and coat collar. “This is my attempt years ago to put something on Wanda’s head that somehow mimics her classic headdress / crown,” he wrote. “I knew I wasn’t going to get any traction. But I couldn’t resist! In their first MCU appearances, the directors wanted something more of a real world feel rather than a comic book costume feel … I’m so happy that everything has changed! “
