A few weeks ago, Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, revealed that “ WandaVision ” is launching the Madness Multiverse, which will be explored in detail following “ Doctor Strange. ”

But this network of parallel realities will not stop there.

During an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Feige said the consequences of “ Doctor Strange 2 ” will have ramifications for future MCU adaptations.

“’Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ is a very literal title, because the plot will encompass a lot of madness, and we won’t stop there. The events of the film will also be explored in other productions. I’m saying the multiverse is the way, but this madness will be explored before and after ‘Doctor Strange 2’. ”

He continued:

“As we like to do, there are multiple connections that will be seen and discovered over time … This plot isn’t limited to Doctor Strange, but he was the most suitable character to work with this idea.”

So, will the multiverse open the doors when the “X-Men” and “Fantastic Four” arrive in the MCU? What do you think?

Previously, Feige spoke about the feature on Disney Investor Day and promised the plot would be “scary, exciting and surprising.”

Additionally, the filmmaker also said the production will “break the boundaries of the narrative,” continuing the events of the ‘WandaVision’ series and connecting with the events of ‘Spider-Man 3’.

It was also announced that Xochitl Gomez has joined the cast as America Chavez, a Latin heroine and member of the LGBTQ + community.

Benedict Cumberbatch will play Doctor Strange again. The sequel will also feature the return of Benedict Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen and Rachel McAdams.

The premiere is scheduled for March 25, 2023.

“After the events of Avengers: Ultimatum, Dr. Strange continues his research into the Time Stone. But an old friend turned enemy ends his plans and causes Strange to unleash unspeakable evil. ”

While the friend who became an enemy could easily apply to the Scarlet Witch (if she truly embraces the dark side of “ WandaVision ”), it seems much more likely that Baron Mordo (Chiwitel Ejiofor) is the cause of phase 4 conflicts.

Initially as Strange’s mentor, the former resident of Kamar-Taj ended up turning his back on his colleagues to pursue the power of the Ancient One for himself.

The mention of the Time Stone is also interesting, given that the Infinity Jewel protected in Agamotto’s Eye was destroyed during the events of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.

Baron Mordo’s intervention can open the door to evil to enter our world from other dimensions.

Recalling that the studio hired Michael Waldron (“Loki“) to rewrite the script for the sequel, which was being written by Jade Halley Bartlett.

Sam Raimi (Spider-Man Trilogy) will lead the project in place of Scott Derrickson – who left the film due to creative differences, but remains in the position of producer.
