The multiverse has already arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the sequel about the sorcerer played by Benedict Cumberbatch, has already landed in theaters and the film explores this key term of the study’s Phase 4 . What is the multiverse? If you have seen the animated series Disney + What would happen if…? You will already know enough, but if you are not familiar with it, we summarize that it is a word that is used to define the set of many existing universes. It seems that the multiverse is here to stay and further expand the MCU. Imagine the number of possibilities that something like this implies in the franchise. Considering that Doctor Strange 2 will take Marvel fans on a journey through it, how will the movie impact the future of the MCU?

“I think this idea of the multiverse, which has already been introduced through Spider-Man, is an incredible opportunity to tell stories,” Elizabeth Olsen responds at SensaCine. The actress returns to life as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch in the sequel to Doctor Strange (Doctor Strange), which has Sam Raimi in the director’s chair.

“I think a lot of us, in our lives, think about what would have happened if we had gone to this other school, or if we hadn’t gone through this breakup, or if we had taken this job… All of our decisions and the decisions of our parents have led us exactly to the place where we are now, “adds the actress, who returns as her character after the events that occurred in the series Scarlet Witch and Vision, the one in charge of kicking off Phase 4 of the franchise.

As Olsen continues:

I love this idea of being able to explore the multiverse and see all the other opportunities and lives that these characters could have had if they had made different choices at some point. That, for storytelling, is infinite and I think it could create amazing stories in the future Not only that but the multiverse also allows you to introduce alternate versions of characters. In What if…? the Peggy Carter ( Hayley Atwell ) from another universe was shown in which she is the one receiving the super-soldier serum. To give another example, the fiction also told what would have happened if Yondu ( Michael Rooker ) took T’Challa / Black Panther ( Chadwick Boseman ) as a child instead of Peter Quill / Star-Lord ( Chris Pratt ).

The trailers for Doctor Strange 2 have already shown some of the alternate versions of Stephen Strange that we’ll see. This is the case of Strange Supreme, an evil version of the protagonist, and Defender Strange, the version of the sorcerer with a different costume and the two highest gray hairstreaks. Raimi has confirmed that there will also be other versions of Scarlet Witch.

“Fresh air. It was fresh air”, Cumberbatch tells SensaCine about having the opportunity to give life to the different versions of his character. “It was the most exciting challenge for me. ”

The secrecy surrounding Marvel movies is a tradition by now, but the studio hasn’t wanted to show too much about Doctor Strange 2 . Cumberbatch also confirmed that the film’s surprises will be “somewhat similar” to those we saw in Spider-Man: No Way Home, a film in which fans have already had an approach to the multiverse with the returns of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire as his respective Peter Parkers.

Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has confirmed that the death of The One Who Remains ( Jonathan Majors ) in Lokiwas what caused Doctor Strange’s spell in Tom Holland’s third installment of Spider-Man to go awry and open the door. to the multiverse.

The wait to learn all the secrets of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is over. Above these lines, don’t miss our interview with Cumberbatch, Olsen, and Benedict Wong, who returns as Sorcerer Supreme Wong.
