Sir Patrick Stewart reprises his role as Professor X in the trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. As the multiverse grows in prominence, the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel will place the concept front and center once more, continuing story threads from its predecessor and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Super Bowl trailer also shows Dr. Christine Palmer getting married with Stephen Strange not being the groom.
The evil version of Stephen Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, will appear in Doctor Strange 2. Since the first Doctor Strange showed that the Masters of the Mystic Arts derive their powers from alternate realities, it's not surprising that one of their members comes from a different universe. Like the rest of the new character and story revelations in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer, this moment teases an entertainingly horrible second solo outing for Doctor Strange. Gargantos, the monster from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is an enemy of the Sub-Mariner in the comics.
Early on in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Super Bowl trailer, a multiversal monster restrains America Chavez, possibly in Stephen Strange's nightmare.
Karl Mordo is shown attacking a restrained Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Super Bowl trailer. There is a chance that Strange and Mordo will become allies once more to defend Earth from a bigger threat than either of them could handle alone.
Doctor Strange's position as master of the mystic arts was solidified in the movies, where he played a key role in the battles against Thanos. With the multiverse unleashed once more, it is not surprising that one variant of Doctor Strange, known as Defender Strange, will aid the mainstream version as well. The multiversal premise of Doctor Strange 2 and the multiverse heroes and villains in No Way Home makes Stewart reprising his role in the MCU unsurprising. While Stewart's voice in Doctor Strange 2's trailer is unmistakable, the footage doesn't offer a clear look at Professor X, perhaps saving it for another trailer or the film's theatrical release.
The scene likely takes place early in the film before the monstrous entities from the multiverse invade Strange's reality. America Chavez, a superhero from another reality who becomes a defender of the mainstream universe, will be seen in Doctor Strange 2. The ramifications of Stephen Strange's spell in No Way Home will put his reality and others in jeopardy, as Doctor Strange 2 will give him his greatest challenge yet.
Karl Mordo was promised by the end of Doctor Strange that he would rid the world of magic. The figure may end up being a hero from another reality, like Professor X from the Fox X-Men films. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gets a full trailer during the Super Bowl in 2022. Mordo has more justification for his mission due to Doctor Strange's multiversal tampering. Chavez shows her super strength from the comics in the rest of the trailer.
The final shot of the trailer shows an unnerving image of another Doctor Strange variant.
As an ominous cloud gathers around them, Rintrah is shown among the other Masters of the Mystic Arts.
Doctor Strange and Wong will be joined by the Scarlet Witch, who is still coming to terms with her heartbreaking character role in WandaVision.
