Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was first teased at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, released in December 2021. After the credits, audiences got their first look at the trailer for the May movie, and it’s clear that the sequel won’t just be a direct follow up to 2017’s Doctor Strange movie. The Benedict Cumberbatch-led flick will deal with some of the aftermath of several other Marvel movies and TV shows (which means there are spoilers ahead for every title through Spider-Man: No Way Home).
In the third Spider-Man movie, Doctor Strange (Cumberbatch) cast a spell that went wrong, cracking open the multiverse, allowing parallel universes to collide. While only those who had a direct connection to Spider-Man were affected in that movie, it looks like there might be more problems with the multiverse at large.
In the trailer, Strange seeks out Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) for help. She immediately starts to apologize for Westview, which WandaVision viewers will remember as the town she accidentally magically compelled into her grief-induced sitcom fantasy. However, he has bigger concerns now and asks Wanda what she knows about the multiverse.
The concept was already introduced in Disney+’s Loki — which included Loki (Tom Hiddleston) meeting various versions of himself from alternate timelines — as well as the animated What If…?, another Disney+ show that featured the voices of many cast members, including Cumberbatch as Strange.
