Doctor Strange 2 plot: What will happen in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? Then again, he lives in London, so it could just be a coincidence. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he was "expected" to appear and Hiddleston was in London when the sequel was shooting. Talking of Loki, the finale of that show did hint that we could well see Tom Hiddleston pop up in Doctor Strange 2 as well. But then again, it is the multiverse of madness so you never know.Īlso, following Loki's big final reveal, we'd be surprised if Jonathan Majors (so far only confirmed for Ant -Man: Quantumania) didn't pop up somehow as one or more variants of He Who Remains. The trailer shows Christine getting married, but it doesn't look as though Strange is the lucky person she's marrying.īaby-Sitters Club star Xochitl Gomez is joining the cast as America Chavez, a fan-favourite from the comics, while Sam Raimi regular Bruce Campbell has heavily hinted at a cameo role in the sequel too.Īs for Tilda Swinton returning as the Ancient One, she is technically dead so we're unlikely to see her in Doctor Strange 2. Many presumed Rachel McAdams would likely return as Strange's sort-of love-interest Christine Palmer, and it was officially confirmed in December 2020 that she will be back, along with Benedict Wong as Wong. The main theories are that he will either return as a reluctant ally of Doctor Strange (especially if Scarlet Witch turns out to be the 'madness' that's creating the multiverse in the first place), or he'll be a secondary antagonist to Nightmare, as most superhero movies have multiple baddies. Given her connection to Wanda, it would make sense that the Doctor Strange sequel will feature Agatha too, but that's just speculation on our part for now.Ĭhiwetel Ejiofor confirmed in June 2020 that he'll be back in the sequel as Mordo after the plot synopsis had basically confirmed it anyway. It feels totally connected to the series."Ĭould Olsen be joined by her WandaVision co-star Kathryn Hahn? It's been confirmed that Hahn will be back as Agatha Harkness in a spin-off show and, intriguingly, the deal is said to see her reprise the role in MCU movies as well. I do feel like it fully leads into where we find her. " With WandaVision's post-credits scene seeing her study the Darkhold, will that mean Scarlet Witch will be an antagonist in the movie?Įither way, Olsen has confirmed that you do need to have seen WandaVision: "Without WandaVision, Doctor Strange wouldn’t make sense. She said: "I really wish that there was a plan that someone shared with me a little sooner. However, she also confirmed that she didn't get the story for Doctor Strange 2 until two weeks before WandaVision wrapped. Olsen teased that the WandaVision finale is a "complete tee-up for my character" in the sequel. It was confirmed back at Comic-Con 2019 that Olsen would be reprising her role as Wanda Maximoff, who we should perhaps now call the Scarlet Witch, after the dramatic events of WandaVision. Those reshoots are nothing to worry about, and Benedict Cumberbatch explained that it was to both improve what they have and shoot things they couldn't before because of COVID.Ĭumberbatch will be joined by some familiar MCU faces in the sequel and we'll start with the most exciting one: Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff. There were reshoots that were completed in September 2021 and now, as mentioned, there was another round that finished in January 2022. Hopefully, this new date will stick.įilming took place between November 2020 and April 2021 with a brief delay due to increased restrictions in the UK.
