With Benedict Cumberbatch still waiting to make his MCU debut as Doctor Strange, the two preeminent magic-users are Loki and Scarlet Witch. But who is more powerful? The Asgardian God of Mischief or the mind-altering manipulator who's rumored to be recieving a power-upgrade in Captain America: Civil War? Commenting first, Elizabeth Olsen stated, "I think Scarlet Witch would win — she's one of the most powerful people in the universe. I’m betting on Scarlet Witch". Tom Hiddleston was quick to counter, "The thing is, you're dealing with someone who's a witch, which is admittedly impressive biographically. But you put that up against a god, I'm just not sure that there's a fair contest. He's an immortal being, so my chips are firmly in Loki's corner. "
If and when Loki makes his return to the MCU, it will be interesting to see whether he crosses paths with Wanda Maximoff. Would Wanda be able to see through Loki's enchantments and warn her Avengers teammates? Would Loki be able to resist Wanda's mental misdirection? While Thor and Asgard may be sitting out the superhero fisticuffs in Civil War, surely they'll factor largely in the proceedings that will unfold in Infinity War. Odds are, these two mystical practitioners should be crossing paths, sooner rather than later.
