Tickets for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness recently went on sale, and the TV spots that accompanied the announcement have now been updated with brief TikTok adverts featuring the Master of the Mystic Arts (Benedict Cumberbatch) and the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).
The later teasers for the sequel made no secret of the the fact that Wanda will be taking a villainous turn, and the tormented magic-wielder looks positively sinister here.
Director Sam Raimi recently confirmed that we'll see an "altered version" of the Scarlet Witch in the movie, so it sounds like the evil Wanda we meet is most likely going to be a Variant, and not the established MCU hero we know and love. This would make more sense than Marvel Studios turning such a popular character into a ruthless villain, to be fair!
In Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the MCU unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its boundaries further than ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, with Michael Stühlbarg, and Rachel McAdams. The film is directed by Sam Raimi, and Kevin Feige is the producer. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Eric Hauserman Carroll and Jamie Christopher serve as executive producers. The screenplay was written by Michael Waldron.
The Doctor Strange sequel releases in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2022.
