He falls to the ground, screaming, and reveals a third eye in his forehead, a la the evil Strange he battled in the destroyed dimension. Or at least, she’s the daughter of Dormammu in the comics. Here’s what you need to know about the Doctor Strange 2 ending explained, as well as who that was at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But first, a little recap about the plot that got us to that ending. After a battle leaves Strange stranded in another, nearly destroyed dimension with an evil version of himself who has a third eye in his forehead (remember this detail in a second), Wanda prepares to sacrifice America on Mount Wundagore, the origin place of the Darkhold. In order to stop her, Strange uses the Darkhold and Dreamwalking to jump into a dead version of himself that he had buried back on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Earth, risking corruption himself. Repentant, Wanda destroys Mount Wundagore, every version of the Darkhold in all the multiverse, and seemingly dies in the process. In the Doctor Strange sequel, the titular character, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, meets a young girl named America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez). America has the power to jump through the multiverse, though she can’t control her powers.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reveals that Strange now possesses a third eye. These are the potential reasons why it happened.

On the other hand, Doctor Strange only used the Darkhold as a last resort to stop Scarlet Witch. Granted, he committed the sin of Dreamwalking in the corpse of one of his multiversal variants, but that doesn't justify why his body was affected to the point of growing a third eye. Doctor Strange's next MCU appearance simply needs to confirm whether or not this is the case. This seems to suggest that the third eye is a direct consequence of using the Darkhold and that the Doctor Strange variant from universe 616 is doomed to go down a similar path. Instead, it may have accelerated the development of a special ability that only sorcerers as powerful as Doctor Strange eventually get to unlock. It pulled Agatha Harkness and Scarlet Witch into villainy, and Doctor Strange grew a third eye despite limiting his exposure to it. However, Doctor Strange's third eye, a tool that the Ancient One only hinted at during their first encounter in 2016's Doctor Strange, had never really appeared in the MCU before the Master of the Mystic Arts' battle against the Scarlet Witch.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now streaming on Disney+, and since the masses can see it at home, Marvel Studios has updated its official ...

"In the same way that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man helped cement what a modern superhero blockbuster could be, it feels like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is one of the first postmodern superhero blockbusters. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now streaming on Disney+, and since the masses can see it at home, Marvel Studios has updated its official Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline to include the film. The MCU timeline has become an increasingly complicated thing in Phase 4, but the timeline does match up with the release order of the films – presuming No Way Home also took place after Eternals. However, the real complications continue to be the natural questions and inconsistencies that tend to arise.

Disney+ confirmed when in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness occurred.

This is why it's odd that Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and now Doctor Strange have never referenced it; but hopefully, that timeline issue will be resolved in future stories. If this proves to be the case, this means Multiverse of Madness happened before Peter Parker moved into that New York City apartment and took a swing in his new suit through the snow. Dane Whitman, as well as others, saw this happen. However, now knowing that Multiverse of Madness happened before Hawkeye raises a few questions. Even though the MCU is deep into Phase 4, Marvel series and big-screen films aren't always released in chronological order. - Ant-Man

Wanda is alive. elizabeth olsen as scarlett witch, doctor strange and the multiverse of madness. DisneyMarvel Studios ; A new Wanda is on the way.

The third and final (improbable) option is that Wanda really is brown bread. We already know they exist in this universe thanks to the return of Patrick Stewart as an X-Men: The Animated Series-inspired Charles Xavier. This works in a number of ways for the likes of the Fantastic Four and Young Avengers alongside Wanda's children being major players. We've met Earth-838 Wanda, who was happily living with her boys before our Wanda used her as a murderous puppet to off the Illuminati in THAT big scene. If Wanda is trapped beneath the rubble, it leads us to question how/when she'll return. Not wanting to ruin the surprise, the sequel's writer refuses to confirm or deny whether Wanda has kicked the bucket.

What If did justice to Dr. Strange's romance with Christine Palmer while Multiverse of Madness faltered.

Whereas Multiverse of Madness followed Wanda’s search for power in order to be with her children, What If? gave Dr. Strange a proper solo story that delved into his ultimate love for Christine Palmer. In many ways, the What If? episode was more of a direct sequel to Doctor Strange than the live-action one, which was more concerned with the Scarlet Witch’s emotional arc than Strange’s own. Rather than spending the rest of his life studying the mystical arts to save his hands, he instead searches for a way to save Christine. It isn’t Strange’s arrogance or pride that leads to his search for power, which is what set him off on his journey to Kamar-Taj in Doctor Strange, but his love. That Christine’s death is an absolute point is significant to this Dr. Strange and every Dr. Strange in other universes — Christine is his absolute love. On the other hand, “What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?” puts Strange’s love for Christine at the center of its story. His appearances in the MCU since then — Infinity War, Endgame, and No Way Home — never explored what had happened to Christine. And while he gets to spend some more time with an alternate Christine in Multiverse of Madness, in a universe where he also comes across Marvel’s Illuminati, she is merely a plot device to help Strange and Chavez get to the Book of Vishanti. Even when Christine sticks around to help keep Strange’s body stable while he takes control of a zombie Strange in 616, the scene echoes her role in the first Doctor Strange in which she also keeps Strange’s body stable as he fights in the astroplane. While there were a number of rumors surrounding how director Sam Raimi would approach the Doctor Strange sequel — especially since Multiverse of Madness was his return to Marvel since the original Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey McGuire — there were still a number of surprises for fans. Of course, Stephen’s love for Christine still plays a part in the film, albeit a comparatively minor one. But love is a more human motivation, one that grounds the Scarlet Witch in a more sympathetic light, even as a villain. But for more dedicated fans of the MCU, the multiverse was already being teased in the multiple Disney+ series on streaming, from Wandavision, Loki, and more explicitly in What If? The Watcher, played by Jeffrey Wright, explores the various tangential paths across the universe, one of which is titled “What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?” In it, Strange loses the love of his life Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams) in the car accident rather than suffering hand injuries. In many ways, part of why Multiverse of Madness does a disservice to Strange and Christine’s relationship is that it doesn’t focus on Strange at all. And it’s Strange’s heart that was surprisingly missing in Multiverse of Madness, a film that continued to underserve Adams’ performance as Christine Palmer and pushed her romance with Strange to the sidelines. For many audiences, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was everything they were waiting for since Spider-Man: No Way Home opened up the Marvel Cinematic Universe to other universes.

The Wasp is known as one of the first key members of the Avengers in Marvel Comics' history, having appeared alongside Ant-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk nearly 60 years ago. "Yeah, I think I watched Aliens and was just thinking about the way those Marines get massacred, and, yeah, I was glad it worked. Waldron then explained how, initially, the Wasp was included in a version of the Illuminati, although the other team members weren't revealed. Waldron: "I was just trying to get through the first draft of the script desperately in August of 2020. And I just thought, 'Well, why don't I take a swing and drop the Illuminati in there?'" This included another version of Bruce Campbell's post-credits scene as the Pizza Poppa and a deleted moment with Rachel McAdams' Christine Palmer that gave further depth to her history with Strange.

– I invite you to consider what path you have set down: the one of pride, or the one of humility. We see it, too, in ourselves, in the mirror, in our own prayer and discernment. Are we seeking solely after riches, honors and pride, and in so doing demanding that the world look at us, look at me? We see it on the big screen in fictionalized sorcerers; we see it in our daily lives in neighbors and colleagues. And yet, we can’t help ourselves from wandering down this path – even with the best of intentions. For I do not do what I want, but I do what I hate. St. Ignatius of Loyola, in the Spiritual Exercises, gives us two standards with which to interrogate our impulses. … For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want. He’s a hero in the eyes of many. In one such podcast, in preparation for the recently released “Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” the hosts were discussing how Dr. Stephen Strange – the surgeon-turned-sorcerer – is really too powerful. We, too, are faced with the question – Are you happy? They literally need to put Dr. Strange in a different dimension so that Spiderman can be the protagonist of his own movie.

The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is now on Disney+. Here's what you need to know before diving into the multiverse!

Even if Thor’s half-brother Loki makes no appearance in Multiverse of Madness, the show does connect to the movie by introducing multiverses. Both Multiverse of Madness and Loki share a head writer in Michael Waldron, but Marvel resisted the temptation to force a connection between the two properties. In the process, she consumes Agatha’s dark magic, becoming the imperious Scarlet Witch. The series ends with Westview freed and Agatha seemingly destroyed, but with Wanda retreating to the mystical Mount Wundagore, where she uses her Scarlet Witch form to study a book of evil called the Darkhold. Although we all saw Vision die in Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision begins with not only the synthezoid alive and married to Wanda Maximoff, but the couple appears to be living in a black and white sitcom. Multiverse of Madness is the 28th feature film in the franchise, and that’s not counting numerous one-shots and television specials. Mere weeks after it debuted in theaters, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hit Disney+ on June 22.

A sly allusion to X-men '97 has surfaced in the closed captions of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Indeed, a rendition of the X-Men: The Animated Series theme is heard when Charles appears on-screen, but according to the official closed captions provided by Disney+, it's meant as a bit of an Easter egg. It is on Earth-838 that Strange and Chavez are apprehended by the Illuminati, a "meeting-of-the-minds" style team of superheroes who convene to make decisions that shape the fate of their world. It's called X-Men '97 and it actually has a connection to Doctor Strange 2.

Aside from liking and loving the film, the only true and worthwhile bonus feature is the Audio Commentary Track featuring Sam Raimi, Michael Waldron, and Richie Palmer. If commentary tracks are your thing, then purchasing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on digital is the best way to go. The Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness home media release comes with three featurettes, three deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and a commentary track with Sam Raimi, Micahel Waldron, and Richie Palmer. The upsetting part is that aside from the commentary track, the rest of the features can easily be found online. The commentary track is a must for MCU film nerds, or anyone looking for creative inspiration. However, if you’re the type to watch the bonus features of home media releases, then that’s another story. Dr. Strange and America Chavez’s universe-hopping adventure to escape the Scarlet Witch is now streaming on Disney+! When it is so easily accessible to watch the film, what is the best way to watch it? Chances are, if you’re a Marvel fan, you already have Disney+ because of the MCU shows.

I don't want to spoil his identity, but his name rhymes with "Mizza Moppa."

When the MCU’s Strange tells Pizza Poppa to back off, the Poppa gets ready to squirt mustard on what he believes is an imposter and a thief, only for Strange to magically cause Poppa to squirt the mustard in his own face and then begin punching himself in the face... But in his jaunt through the multiverse, Strange managed to create a new foe—one that might test him to his limits. If you’ve seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, you know the Marvel hero faces a bevy of villains—Gargantos the tentacle monster, the mentally unbalanced Scarlet Witch, and even an extremely evil version of himself.
