Following those awesome character posters, Marvel Studios has released the first featurette for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. There are quite a few new snippets of never-before-seen footage to be found here, though most of it is extended versions of scenes or moments we've already seen in the handful of trailers and TV spots released for the sequel so far.
We hear from Benedict Cumberbatch and Benedict Wong, along with director Sam Raimi who says, "We wanted the fans to go, ‘Oh, how cool.’ That really was our goal. We wanted to give the fans what they wanted, just not exactly what they expected." That's intriguing, don't you think?
In terms of what the footage does reveal, it's definitely "Defender Strange" running from a monster that looks a lot like a living version of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, while America Chavez is at his side. The bloodied Wanda Maximoff, meanwhile, has her hands full with that Captain Marvel Variant.
