The reckoning of Stephen Strange is long overdue in the latest TV spot for the highly (and we mean highly) anticipated Marvel sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This latest trailer, released courtesy of Marvel Entertainment, offers a few glimpses of new footage, including what appears to be a blood-soaked The Scarlet Witch laying waste to the temple believed to belong to The Illuminati.
As well as glimpses of footage we have seen before amongst the snippets of new stuff, including the three-eyed Doctor Strange, the big-screen debut of the one-eyed monster Gargantos, the TV spot once again demonstrates that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is going to be a hugely dramatic and dangerous adventure for the Master of the Mystic Arts.

The sight of Wanda Maximoff AKA The Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) covered in blood and destroying what looks like an Ultron drone’s head with her powers seemingly confirms once again that the former Avenger will slowly emerge as the villain of the piece. There have been hints throughout the marketing for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that Wanda will turn to the dark side as she and Strange endeavor to explore the multiverse, and this surely all but confirms it. Will Wanda wipe out The Illuminati not long after audiences have met them?
The final moments of the spot also show Doctor Strange shooting serpentine dragons from his hands, an ability that will be familiar to those who have seen the Disney+ series What If…?. Demonstrated by Dark Doctor Strange in the animated series, it’s also possible we may see the good Doctor dance with the dark side during the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

There is still much mystery surrounding Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with rumored cameos adding to the already monumental hype. A new report has even claimed that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will feature more surprises than both Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home combined, meaning that the sequel could indeed be the most exciting, most crowd-pleasing, and most franchise-changing Marvel movie so far.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the 28th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directed by Sam Raimi from a script written by Michael Waldron, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character alongside Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff AKA The Scarlet Witch, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will also introduce audiences to Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, a teenager with the ability to punch holes through dimensions. The character was initially due to feature in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but will instead join Team Strange following a shift in scheduling from Marvel Studios.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 6, 2022, as part of Phase Four of the MCU.
