Disney has put forth a new synopsis for their upcoming film ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’, reports Collider.
The film, which will star Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular Sorcerer Supreme, will begin following the events of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’. The spell which Strange performed for Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) had some pretty serious consequences, and the Sam Raimi-directed sequel is expected to explore those repercussions.
“In Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the MCU unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its boundaries further than ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary,” reads the synopsis.
While no specific allies or adversaries are explicitly called out, fans can make some guesses based on the trailer that served as the second post-credits scene of ‘No Way Home’. The adversary (as the trailer makes it seem) would appear to be a variant of Strange, similar to the one displayed in What If...? last year.
Some of the allies would also likely be Wong (Benedict Wong), Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams), and America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez). It also remains to be seen how Wanda/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) will factor in, considering how both characters' arcs ended in their previous excursions of WandaVision and Doctor Strange, respectively.
Directed by Sam Raimi from a script written by Michael Waldron, the film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, with Michael Stuhlbarg and Rachel McAdams.
‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ hits theaters on May 6, 2022.
