We're not sure anyone would really consider the following a spoiler at this stage, but just in case, spoiler warning!
The first trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gave us a brief glimpse of a mysterious figure while a familiar voice said, "we should tell him the truth." It was later confirmed that, yes, this was indeed Sir Patrick Stewart, who is set to reprise the role of Professor Charles Xavier for Sam Raimi's sequel.
Now, an international Screen X teaser has found its way online, and in addition to a few snippets of new footage, the winder format gives us a much better look at Professor X in his chair.
Check out the promo below, along with a new IMAX poster.
Stewart is only expected to make a cameo appearance as a member of the Multiversal Illuminati, but his presence obviously opens the door to his fellow X-Men castmates following suit and making the jump to The MCU. Of course, Marvel Studios will most likely reboot the mutant heroes for at some point, but the team could include a few previously established characters.
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.
