Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is finally here! You all know what that means. Your fellow nerds got on Twitch and cooked up some delicious theories. By the looks of it, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be one wild ride. The film is set to showcase a who's who of the Marvel pantheon, while also furthering the character arc of our favorite sorcerer.
In a film that appears to be filled with several shady characters, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) may be the biggest question mark of all. Will she help Strange restore order to the Multiverse? Or will she take matters into her own hands just to bring back her "sons" Tommy and Billy, who were last seen in WandaVision?
While two after-credits scenes have become standard fare for MCU films, there's still the possibility that Multiverse of Madness has just one stinger. Of course, that sole scene would be expected to make a staggering impact on its lonesome. In that case, Kevin Feige and director Sam Raimi will have to drop a massive bombshell to satisfy the MCU faithful.
How about the long-awaited appearance of a beloved mutant or two? With the Multiverse tearing at the seams, all sorts of portals could open across the globe, leaving the path open for some familiar faces to enter. Translation: nothing should get in the way of a Wolverine cameo from happening at this point.
