This week, Hasbro revealed the first action figures for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and we were left with lots to discuss. By far the biggest talking point was a new take on Stephen Strange dubbed "Defender Strange." Theories have since run rampant about whether this is another Variant or perhaps even the hero's new look in the MCU.

The sorcerer feels overdue for an updated costume, as he's been wearing the same old robes since 2016's Doctor Strange. This iteration of the character is also an Avenger and superhero, so dubbing him a Defender (we'd love the film to end with Strange assembling that team) makes a whole lot of sense.

Following the debut of that Marvel Legends action figure, some supposed leaked footage from the set of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness appears to show Benedict Cumberbatch suited and booted as Defender Strange for a green screen sequence.

While we can never say for sure with these things, the footage appears to be legit and not something that's been cleverly cobbled together by a tech-savvy fan. In terms of spoilers, this really reveals nothing, so we remain in the dark about what to expect from the sorcerer in this film! There have been plot leaks circulating, but none of them mention this change in appearance for Strange.
