Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is just over a week away, and fans are on the edge of their seats with anticipation. The upcoming Marvel Studios project is set to take a deep dive into the many realities that make up existence. Alongside Benedict Cumberbatch's titular hero, Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch, Benedict Wong's Sorcerer, and Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez will be joining the fray. Wong has seen an expanded role in the MCU recently. As of  Spider-Man: No Way Home , the character was revealed to be the Sorcerer Supreme—a role lost to Stephen Strange thanks to being blipped. ADVERTISEMENT On top of saving existence in the upcoming film, the sorcerer has, and will likely be, a busy man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In  Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings  he can be seen overseeing Abomination, and if rumors are true, he'll be popping up for a notable role in  She-Hulk . So who would the actor want to int...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  will soon hit theaters. Not only will the magical blockbuster see the return of Doctor Strange, Wong, and Scarlet Witch, but it will also feature the debut of Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez, the latest Young Avenger to be introduced in the MCU in Phase 4. 15-year-old Marvel newcomer Xochitl Gomez will make her first appearance as America Chavez in  Multiverse of Madness . The young hero's powers not only include superhuman strength, speed, and durability but also the ability to traverse the Multiverse - a talent that will prove to be a great asset to Doctor Strange and his team. ADVERTISEMENT America Chavez is both a lesbian and of Latin-American origin, two character traits that will carry over to her live-action portrayal. Unfortunately, due to restrictions on releases in certain regions, Chavez's LGBTQIA+ status and mention of her "two moms" has led to  Multiverse of Madness  being ban...

The upcoming  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is a sequel full of both second steps and new beginnings. The film will continue the long-running stories of Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange and Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, while also launching fan-favorite rookie characters like Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez. Since the promotional campaign for  Doctor Strange 2  kicked off in December 2021, America Chavez has been at the forefront alongside the film's leading stars. While Chavez is a Marvel Cinematic Universe freshman, she has been prominently featured on Marvel Comics pages over the past decade. ADVERTISEMENT In the comics, Chavez possesses the unique ability to travel through the Multiverse via her star portals. This defining power is set to translate to the big screen, as director Sam Raimi previously revealed that Strange will have  "to learn from a kid"  how to navigate the concept he knows frightenin...

It may seem quiet now, but  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is about to make a lot of noise. The upcoming  Doctor Strange  sequel has been in the works for years at this point, suffering from creative changes behind the scenes as well as multiple delays due to the ongoing worldwide pandemic. To say this film has had a bumpy road to release would be the understatement of the year.  But it seems it may not be smooth sailing from here as many would assume with the film done and ready to hit theater screens. Last week it was reported that  Multiverse of Madness  would be outright banned in parts of the world due to its inclusion of LGBTQIA+ themes.  ADVERTISEMENT America Chavez (played by newcomer Xochitl Gomez) is set to join Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange and Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff and is the one who finds herself at the center of this controversy. Chavez in Marvel Comics lore is openly gay, so many assumed that was w...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is only a short time away from releasing in theaters, already set to change the MCU landscape as magical mayhem ensues in this sequel. Tilda Swinton’s Ancient One teased how vast the Multiverse truly was in both 2016’s Doctor Strange and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame , and now, that vastness will be fully shown in Benedict Cumberbatch’s second solo adventure. With just under a couple of weeks until fans see what this movie brings, Marvel Studios has ramped up its efforts for Doctor Strange 2 's promotional tour to push the hype train forward. As fans get ready for potentially Endgame -level reveals and surprises in this massive solo movie, new footage and interviews provide more clues about what will hit the big screen. ADVERTISEMENT Doctor Strange and others will have to take on bigger leadership roles in this sequel as the foremost experts on magic, especially with the Ancient One having been killed more tha...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is just around the corner, meaning that fans will soon witness the returns of Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen as Stephen Strange and Wanda Maximoff, respectively. Following the events of  WandaVision ,  Loki , and Spider-Man: No Way Home , Strange is tasked with exploring the Multiverse along with Scarlet Witch, Benedict Wong's Wong, and Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez. Leading up to the release of the film, new featurettes and short TV spots are being revealed on a near-daily basis. In most of these cases, the released footage is only raising more questions, rather than providing answers. However, in one instance, Patrick Stewart's Professor X, who was all but confirmed in the main trailer, was given an expanded look. ADVERTISEMENT This was thanks to the ScreenX format that some theaters offer, which expands the camera shot and allows the viewer to see farther on each side. The quick glimp...

The MCU is set to take its next deep dive into the Multiverse with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , starring the master of magic himself alongside Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch. Following her Westview antics in Disney+'s WandaVision , it appears that Wanda Maximoff will be on the hunt for her conjured-up children, Billy and Tommy. This apparently involves the Scarlet Witch falling deeper into the grasp of the Darkhold. The first trailer for Multiverse of Madness showed Olsen's witch still seemingly deep within her self-taught teachings, complete with the climatic costume she donned in WandaVision' s season finale. This includes her signature red crown and Vision-inspired molding on the top of her chest.  ADVERTISEMENT While not much about Olsen's costume has seemed to change throughout Multiverse of Madness ' promotional materials, a recent video showed a minor addition to the already well-recognized outfit.  Scar...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is only two weeks away, which may be hard for many to believe. After all, it feels like it’s been the topic of conversation forever. The project has seen its fair share of turmoil throughout that time, with the main bit being the departure of original Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson back in early 2020. To replace him, Marvel Studios was able to bring aboard the famous Sam Raimi, who is renowned for his work on the first trio of Spider-Man films. With this change of leadership, many thought the creatives behind the project were going to be leaning away from the heavy horror elements that Derrickson wanted to embrace. ADVERTISEMENT Thankfully, this doesn’t seem to be the case. One has to remember how Sam Raimi’s filmmaking roots lie in horror as well, leaving him just as versed in that genre as he is with superheroes. Now a new TV spot has given fans their best look yet at how scary the adventure migh...

Marvel Studios now approaches the finish line for the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , a feat that is certainly cause for celebration thanks to this sequel’s scale and expectations. However, even with a story that breaks the Multiverse open and introduces potentially dozens of new characters, the lead-up to its debut hasn’t come without its hiccups. Particularly in Phase 4 of the MCU, the franchise has made a more concerted effort than ever toward bringing much-needed representation to the big and small screen. This started with Phastos being portrayed as gay in last year’s Eternals , and Doctor Strange 2 will continue that trend, but it’s clear that parts of the world still have progress to make in this area. ADVERTISEMENT Just the other day, Saudi Arabia banned the release of Doctor Strange 2 in its theaters due to America Chavez being shown as gay on-screen; she’s a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in the comics as well. Now,...

Despite being just two weeks away, the plot of  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  remains vastly mysterious. Fans know the film will feature Benedict Cumberbatch's titular hero teaming up with Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch and Xochitil Gomez's America Chavez as they navigate the Multiverse, but the specificities of the dangers that arise are still up in the air. Olsen's Scarlet Witch has been rumored to walk the line between good and evil, while trailer footage has spotlighted the tentacled titan Gargantos as a Kaiju that the heroes will have to do battle with. From there, speculation takes over. How will Patrick Stewart's Illuminati factor in? Is there a Captain Marvel Variant flying around? What does Kang the Conqueror think of all this? ADVERTISEMENT Uncertainty stays at the forefront of  Doctor Strange 2 , but new footage has begun to steer fans in the right direction. Doctor Strange 2's Book of Vishanti Are you...

As Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness comes over the horizon towards its release date, the anticipation begins to build to a fever pitch. New advertising has shown off fresh moments from Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff while other reports have teased once again how this movie will connect to other projects in theaters and on Disney+. And of course, even that still leaves a Patrick Stewart-shaped elephant in the room to address. Ever since Marvel Studios delivered the Super Bowl trailer for Doctor Strange 2 , Patrick Stewart's Professor X has been one of the most consistent conversation topics in regard to this movie's impact on the MCU. Stewart has even commented on the footage a couple of times, even denying having seen it at all at first, although he expressed his thrill to be back in a new version of the role with Marvel Studios. ADVERTISEMENT With the leading X-Men figure being such a major reveal within this incredible story, ...

When Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  was officially announced during San Diego Comic-Con 2019, horror elements were part of the promise of the film's cast and crew. Even though original director Scott Derrickson departed the project, Sam Raimi's takeover of the sequel has led many to believe that those elements will stick, especially considering his experience directing the Evil Dead franchise.  In the months leading to the premiere, rumors and quotes from the cast teased the sequel's dive into horror. Wanda Maximoff actress Elizabeth Olsen previously  described the MCU sequel as a  “bonkers”  movie while also pointing out that the crew is  “going for that horror show vibe.” ADVERTISEMENT A past rumor also indicated that Multiverse of Madness  would have an  “impressive body count"  while also teasing that it would largely be rooted in the horror genre.  Now, more evidence has emerged that the sequel will embrace the horro...

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe enters a brand new chapter, the superhero franchise is pushing for more representation in Phase 4. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings introduced a stacked Asian cast, while Eternals  delivered powerful performances from its diverse group of heroes.  On top of racial equality, the MCU is also leaning towards LGBTQ+ representation. Eternals pushed the diverse group to the forefront by showcasing Phastos' love for his husband Ben through an on-screen kiss, marking the first time for a Marvel movie.  ADVERTISEMENT However, the inclusion of Phastos' on-screen kiss with his husband led to a ban on Eternals in several middle countries, mainly due to Disney holding its ground not to censor the aforementioned scene.  Now, another Marvel sequel has fallen victim to the ban in the Middle East for the same LGBTQ issue.  No Doctor Strange 2 in Saudi Arabia The Hollywood Reporter shared that Doctor Strange in the ...

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...
