Leading into its May 6 release, much of  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness remains a mystery. And what Marvel fans do know has only added to its mystique. For instance, not only is it a sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange,  but  Doctor Strange 2  is also a continuation of  Spider-Man: No Way Home  and directed by Sam Raimi, the director of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy. Of course, this has led to speculation that Marvel Studios may have a Raimi and Maguire reunion in mind. After all, if Strange can be in a Multiversal Spider-Man movie, why can't a Spider-Man be in a Multiversal Doctor Strange movie? ADVERTISEMENT In addition to rumors that Tobey Maguire has a role in the upcoming film, a recent  Multiverse of Madness promo featuring Joe's Pizza from Spider-Man 2 has only heightened speculation. However, at the same time, new reports have also claimed just the opposite on the Doctir Strange sequel's connection to other S...

Since Disney acquired Fox in 2019, Marvel fans have been eagerly anticipating the MCU debut of the X-Men. While Marvel has teased audiences with Evan Peters' WandaVision cameo and even an X-Men location in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness looks to be the MCU's "let there be mutants" moment given Patrick Stewart's role as Professor Xavier in the upcoming film.  But still, how Marvel Studios intends to handle mutants after Doctor Strange 2 is a mystery; and since there's no dedicated X-Men project currently on the slate - apart from the animated X-Men 97 Disney+ series - audiences are expecting more mutant cameos to come as the MCU dives deeper into its Phase 4 story.  ADVERTISEMENT One cameo fans have been expecting is that of the weather-wielding X-Men heroine, Storm. Since the God of Thunder is poised to return in July in Thor: Love and Thunder , not only did a Storm cameo ma...

After a remarkable promotional push for Spider-Man: No Way Home ,  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is poised to be one of the highly anticipated films on the MCU's slate in 2022, mainly due to the rumors surrounding the film's cameos by different characters across the Multiverse. One of those characters is Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool from Fox's X-Men universe.  The upcoming MCU sequel will bring back Benedict Cumberbatch's titular sorcerer alongside new and old allies such as Benedict Wong's Wong and Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez. Plot details are still shrouded in secrecy, but the film's second trailer suggested that Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff will be the sequel's villain while also confirming a major cameo in the form of Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier.  ADVERTISEMENT Stewart's return as the famous mutant led many to believe that other heroes from Fox's X-Men universe will also make...

Hawkeye introduced Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop into the larger MCU, joining forces with Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton as they embarked to uncover a conspiracy involving her mother, Eleanor, and Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk a.k.a. Kingpin. The Disney+ series ended with the bow-wielding pair succeeding in their mission, with Kate and Clint going back to the Barton family farm to spend Christmas.  Kate's introduction in Hawkeye fueled theories about a potential Young Avengers team-up down the line. At this stage in the MCU, there have been several notable members of the young superhero group that is active, such as WandaVision 's Tommy and Billy Maximoff, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 's Eli Bradley, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania 's Cassie Lang.  ADVERTISEMENT As expected, Steinfeld was asked about her character's transition into a Young Avengers member during Hawkeye 's press tour. However, the Mar...
