The Doctor Strange sequel was the focus of the most recent trailer, released during the Super Bowl, but the original trailer emphasized the darker and scarier mystical elements. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness looks to be the biggest project since the record-breaking Avengers: Endgame, despite all the chaos and surprises that Spider-Man: No Way Home delivered.
WandaVision set the stage for the Avenger's villainous turn as she held an entire town captive to allow her to live out her fantasy life before she realized her full potential as the Scarlet Witch. With veteran horror director Sam Raimi at the helm, it appears set to deliver on expectations, as Kevin Feige has promised it will be the MCU's first scary film.
Multiverse of Madness promises a lot, but there's more to the sequel than just that.
According to The Cosmic Circus' Lizzie Hill, Wanda's role is the same as it was in the original cut. The most recent trailer shows the scale of the Multiverse romp between Ultron Bots and the return of Charles X.
Fans were reassured that Disney was not going to dial back the scary elements with the new trailer.
Wanda appears to be the villain of Multiverse of Madness based on the most recent trailer and previous rumors.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was initially revealed as the studio's scariest film yet, but it was made clear that it wouldn't go to horror levels.
Even with assurances from the cast and crew, many are skeptical that Disney will allow Raimi to truly embrace the scary direction.
The reshoots of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness began in November of 2021. Despite his fame, Raimi has always been a horror director. One scene showed Wanda stained with multiple colors of blood, indicating that she would be going on a killing spree, and this movie doesn't seem to be holding back on graphically depicting it. With the reality-bending witch now having reached previously unheard-of levels of power, she will pose a significant threat to Doctor Strange. Sam Raimi was brought in to direct the project because of creative differences, after original director Scott Derrickson left the project.
May 6, 2022, is when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be released. The heroic cast was already looking stacked with the return of Benedict and Elizabeth. According to recent reports, they are still intact.
