Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There are several reasons a character might look completely different in a sequel from the previous movies.

Bo Peep at some point lost her bonnet but fashioned herself a bow; she also modified her skirt, so it doubles as a cape. 5 Wanda Maximoff Avengers: Age Of Ultron | Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Close Like the rest of the MCU cast, Wanda's look gradually evolved. This is strongly influenced by the culture of the comics becoming more widely appreciated and truer versions of the heroes' costumes being incorporated into the MCU. Wanda started out with just a red leather jacket as a not-overt homage to her comic book costume.
Of course, Genisys crashed and burned, only making the recast one scathing element of the whole mess. Linda Hamilton then returns as Sarah in Terminator: Dark Fate. She obviously looks different just because she is older, but some intentional changes are still made that give her a bold new look. In Dark Fate, Sarah has a shorter haircut and new gear, showcasing the natural evolution of her character if she had been fighting Terminators alone for decades.
