If the teaser for Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness that was attached as a post-credit sting on Spider-Man: No Way Home promised a big, bold and frankly crazy adventure, then the trailer certainly keeps that idea alive...
The fallout of Strange's actions No Way Home reverberate in a big way here, as Benedict Cumberbatch's hero faces the consequences. There are massive problems ahead, with creatures spilling into our world and all manner of splintering realities.
Consulting with Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff (herself in healing mode after the traumatic events of WandaVision), Stephen Strange learns that what he did to help Peter Parker will have far bigger implications that he ever dreamed (or had nightmares about). And he's also going to have to answer for what he did – from the looks (and especially sounds) of it to some familiar faces from Marvel adventures. Yup, spoiler alert, that would certainly appear to be Patrick Stewart, likely just the tip of the cameo iceberg. Not to mention the appearance of the alternate Strange from What If...
Sam Raimi, returning to the Marvel universe for the first time since his Spider-Man Days (and making his MCU debut) certainly has been given free reign to indulge his visually startling style (with a script from Loki's Michael Waldron), and we honestly can't wait to see more from this one. The film will be out in cinemas in our dimension on 6 May.
