New ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Images Reveal Intense Look at All Four Leads, But Still No Villain
Marvel Studios has dropped four new images from the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The stills provide a good look at the four central characters — Doctor Strange, Wanda Maximoff, Wong, and franchise newcomer America Chavez.
While three of the four images are essentially intense mid-shots of Strange, Wong, and Wanda, the still featuring America Chavez shows her engaged in a bit of action. At a time when online chatter about the rather unambitious visuals of Marvel movies seems to be experiencing yet another bump, these images certainly invite further dissection — especially since they don’t really reveal anything about the film’s closely guarded plot.
Directed by Sam Raimi and written by Michael Waldron, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness picks up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which debuted in December to resounding success. Recent Oscar nominee (and who knows, by the time this movie comes out, he might even be an Oscar winner) Benedict Cumberbatch returns as Strange, who inadvertently split open the multiverse in No Way Home. That gaffe allowed for Peter Parkers from alternate universes to show up in the MCU in aid of Tom Holland’s version of the character. It is believed that Doctor Strange 2 will further explore this concept.
