New Doctor Strange 2 Trailer Hints at Whose 'Blood' That Is Covering Wanda

Image
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  has been teased as the MCU's first horror flick, and as such, fans can look forward to plenty of scares and casualties. Marvel Studios remains tight-lipped as to who or what will be terrorizing Benedict Cumberbatch's magical Avenger this time around, but all signs are pointing towards Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch. Having held hundreds of civilians hostage in her own sitcom reality in  WandaVision , allowing her to live out her fantasy family life, Wanda Maximoff is sitting dangerously on the edge between hero and villain.

Virtually 20% shorter than the aforementioned average. With the synopsis promising multiple versions of characters, a deep look into the MCU's multiverse, and universe-changing outcomes, how can all of that get the time it deserves in 30 fewer minutes?

While many have marveled at the mind-bending visuals and interactions between leading stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen, the biggest talking point comes from an off-screen line of dialogue. "We should tell him the truth." ADVERTISEMENT Patrick Stewart's Professor X addresses a shackled Doctor Strange inside of a futuristic council room after he is guided through the hallways by Ultron bots.

At the time, it was unknown whether this meant Stewart would cont...
