Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be the 28th installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is being directed by Evil Dead and Spider-Man 2 filmmaker Sam Raimi from a script written by Jade Halley Bartlett and Michael Waldron. The sequel sees Benedict Cumberbatch reprise the role of Stephen Strange, alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer.

The sequel will also introduce Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, a teenager who possesses the ability to punch open doorways between dimensions. As demonstrated by one of these new images, America Chavez may come to regret joining the superhero fray, as she finds herself in a glass cage alongside Strange.

Rumors and speculation continue to swirl around Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with the MCU sequel expected to feature all kinds of crowd-pleasing cameos. One such moment has been teased in the recent trailer, as well as these latest images, with Doctor Strange rumored to have been imprisoned by The Illuminati, a superhero team comprised of Professor X, Namor, and Mr. Fantastic among others.

Benedict Cumberbatch has teased some of these surprising “encounters,” as well as offering some insight into the journey Doctor Strange will embark on in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. “There’s a lot of reckoning,” the actor said. “And a lot of self-discovery. Strange is almost a stranger to himself before this film unfolds and reveals what, essentially, is in his nature, that he then has to either confront or resist or fall into or become.”

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is likely to cause some serious fallout on the MCU, with Cumberbatch revealing that the conclusions may not be what many expect. “There are some very bold ideas, and some extraordinary tests of Strange and encounters,” Cumberbatch continued. “There are some very unexpected conclusions.”

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released on May 6, 2022, as part of Phase Four of the MCU.
