Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: new photos of the protagonists shared!

The photos portray very closely the four protagonists of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Doctor Strange 2 is certainly the most anticipated cinecomic of the year, which has the arduous task of putting an order in the newly born Marvel Multiverse. 

On the occasion of the now imminent release – scheduled for May 6 and in the United States for May 6 – the production house has released four new photos coming directly from the film and which portray, very closely, the main protagonists: Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), Wong (Benedict Wong) and new entry America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez).

In the cast – in addition to the stars just mentioned – Chiwetel, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams. Since this is a work based on the Multiverse, the appearances of many other heroes are expected – or hypothesized – coming from any angle told in the cinecomics taken from the Marvel comics. 

The film, directed by Sam Raimi – father of the modern concept of “cinecomic” with his Spider-Man trilogy – will sanction the horror drift of the MCU, with Doctor Strange intent on fixing the “mess” combined in Spider-Man: No Way Home and to fight with its evil variant, which appeared in the animated series What If? To help the Sorcerer will be Wanda – retired from the world after the Westview disaster – and America Chavez, able to travel between alternative realities and therefore explain to Strange the complex dynamics of the Multiverse.

The Doctor Strange sequel has undergone several date postponements, finally landing on May 4 – the date on which no major competitors from other distribution companies will be released. It is also one of the few upcoming films to include new characters in the MCU, likely to be part of the New Avengers. 

The task of presenting new protagonists has in fact been left to the TV series – only in 2022 will three shows with unreleased heroes be released, Moon Knight (March 30), Ms. Marvel (June 8), and She-Hulk (whose release date is yet to be defined).

The Master of the Mystic Arts seemed to be acting very out of character, which inevitably led to him being identified as the Phase Four 438 candidate only to ultimately be revealed as Mephisto in disguise. Of course, that line of inquiry was drawn a blank once again, but there’s no denying that Strange wasn’t the same as always.

Doing a favor for a teenager who ended up tearing apart the very fabric of reality and allowing the multiverse to open up a bit more was not in keeping with the Sorcerer Supreme’s duties as the man charged with keeping such things in check, but Cumberbatch asserted in an interview with Variety that he did it all in the name of love.

“Having those three films culminating at that moment was an extraordinary thing to be a part of. And letting my character make some serious mistakes out of love, actually, out of generosity towards someone who he realizes really cares.”

Cumberbatch was one of the most sought-after names in the Spider-Man: No Way Home cast, but his actual contributions to the plot made him more of a cipher than a genuine supporting character, especially when he disappeared for a large part. weather. runtime, only to conveniently appear at the last moment during the third act’s climactic action sequence.
