BEWARE SPOILERS AHEAD: After Spider-Man No Way Home released fans got even more excited for Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
There have been lots of theories for this film, and we will go through all of them.
Everyone who knew Peter Parker is Spider-Man were about to arrive from all the universes and if we look closely, we could spot Rhino, Scorpion, Mysterio and even Kraven the Hunter. Until Tom’s Peter Parker told strange to make everyone forget that Peter Parker existed so that all the people who know him forget about him (including strange himself)
So, he did then Peter was on his own with his own apartment, nobody even knowing him.
He is now on his own with no help other than himself.
I recommend watching the following movies and shows to understand this upcoming movie to the fullest: Dr. Strange 1, Spider Man No Way Home, WandaVision, What If, and Loki.
The Confirmed Cast are Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Xochitl Gomez.
The Rumored cast are Tom Hiddleston, Tobey Maguire, Patrick Steward, Hugh Jackman, Kathern Hahn, Owen Wilson, Sofia DiMartino, Tom Cruise, Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, and Tom Cruise.
Without further ado let’s dive into this.
Marvel Studios has revealed that Multiverse of Madness is going to be a type of Horror film.
The Doctor Strange 2 teaser starts with an baleful montage backed by Strange pleading with an anonymous person. “It was the only way, but I never meant for any of this to happen,” he tells someone, likely referring to the spell he cast in No Way Home.
Theories suggest there could be multiple versions of Wanda Maximoff in Doctor Strange 2, including an evil multiverse Scarlet Witch.
The theory that Doctor Strange 2 features multiple versions of Scarlet Witch is even supported by its poster. Marvel debuted the first teaser poster alongside the trailer release. The Doctor Strange 2 poster shows Strange’s face three times and Wanda Maximoff’s face twice, each separated by some lines that have similarities like the time strange accessed the Mirror Dimension
Lots of people have been wondering if Loki will return for Multiverse of Madness because of what happened in the finale of Loki (Disney + Show)
We have a piece of evidence that he is indeed returning
In January 2021, Tom Hiddleston (Loki) appeared at the virtual launch for WandaVision to give a ‘fan question and he had the Loki hairstyle, as well as appearing to be in UK at the time. This was around the time that the Multiverse of Madness was filming in the UK, so fans put two-and-two together and came up with a cameo.
There have been Leaks that claim Tobey Maguire is returning for a short cameo with his suit but without showing his face in the movie.
We do not have any evidence supporting this cameo.
There are many guesses about how many villains are going to be in the film or who the villain’s even are.
Well, we might have an answer to that.
First of all, it has been announced by Marvel that Agatha The Harkness is going to be getting her own Disney + Spinoff show. My guess is that Wanda might ask for her help for something in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
There is a scene in the beginning where it shows Wong with a bloody face and his arms to the side by a red energy and that is Wanda.
Or if some of the Rumors are true, it is a variant of Wanda.
We spotted Gargantos for a quick second in the trailer throwing a bus at Strange.
We saw Strange Supreme at the end of trailer quoting: “Things just got out of hand”
So, we have a total of 3 Villains Confirmed, and one rumored villain.
In a second of the trailer, we saw Wanda with her powers and behind her was a TVA door (which is used by the TVA for going through different timelines) this could be where Sophia DiMartino (Sylvie) could make an appearance.
There has been a leaked art image in a scene in Multiverse of Madness showing Strange in green glowing cuffs, and being held by 2 Ultron Bots, Also shows Professor X sitting on a chair, facing strange, and beside Professor X you can see Mordo or it could be a variant of him.
We have 2 pieces of evidence that this art is real.
First of all, actor Patrick Stewart (who plays Professor X) revealed that he meet with Kevin Feige (President of Marvel Studios) for him possibly returning for a Unnamed Marvel Movie.
Second piece of evidence is that in the Trailer of multiverse of madness at approximately 1:34 of the Trailer for a split second we can see strange in green glowing cuffs being attacked by Mordo.
This leads me to believe that Professor X (Actor Patrick Stewart) is indeed in Multiverse of Madness.
Professor X is also the leader of the Illuminati which are a group of heroes who guard the multiverse. The other members of the Illuminati are Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Namor, Black Bolt, and even Doctor Strange.
It has not been revealed if Strange joins the Illuminati or if it is a variant of him.
People are guessing that the person who might be Iron Man that is a member of the Illuminati is going to be Tom Cruise. Because before Robert Downey Jr was cast as Iron Man, they had another option for that role such as Tom Cruise.
Namor is already set to appear in Black Panther Wakanda Forever as the villain.
And the Illuminati member Mr. Fantastic is most likely going be played by Ioan Gruffudd from the 2005, and 2007 Fantastic four, if he appears.
Lots of theories have suggested that some characters from the Fox universe might return, including Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman (member of the Fantastic Four), and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (Member of the X-men).
Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness releases on May 6, 2022.
It’s hard to determine who exactly is 100% going to make a cameo in Multiverse of Madness because the multiverse literally goes to Madness.
This Marvel movie is the most Unpredictable, mysterious Marvel Movie of all time.
Anything is possible and Expect lots of surprises along the way.
