Doctor Strange in Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron teased Stephen Strange’s future in the MCU.
After fighting alongside the Earth’s mightiest heroes in Infinity War and later in, Endgame, and after the Doctor Strange sequel as a highly trusted mentor of a Nexus Being America Chavez in Doctor Strange 2, Waldron suggested in an interview recently with ComicBook.com that Stephen Strange was “perhaps better suited than ever to really be an anchor of the Avengers, and everything moving forward.”
Can Doctor Strange 2 Be The Next Big Thing?
In his trademark horror fashion, Sam Raimi directed Multiverse of Madness which saw its end on a chilling cliffhanger: an agonizingly shouting Strange sprouted a third eye from his forehead – a consequence of the use of Darkhold against Scarlet Witch. “The Multiverse has forced a mirror up in front of his face, and has made him do some self-reflecting, that I think he’s refused ever to do,” Waldron said. He added, “Even when he got into that initial [car] accident [in Doctor Strange], instead of really thinking about who he was, instead he went and just became the most powerful sorcerer alive. This is a guy who doesn’t want to go to therapy. I think now, there’s been some forced self-reflection over the course of this adventure, and I think he’s probably more capable than ever at working as part of a team.”
How Does Doctor Strange 2 Have Ties To Sam Raimi’s Older Movies
Waldron also commented that this ending also has its ties to Raimi’s earlier films. “It was a little bit of a throwback to [Raimi’s] old Evil Dead, and that groaner of an ending, or it’s just like, ‘Oh my God, things turned out bad in the end.’ So, yeah. We’ll see what all that means for Stephen.” Strange uses the dark magic of the Darkhold to Dreamwalk into the corpse of a variant Stephen Strange, drawing from the same kind of corrupting power that the Ancient One called on as the former Sorcerer Supreme of the MCU. Considering that Strange went so far as to possess his own corpse, Waldron said, “Surely, there must be some fallout.”
Helmed by Sam Raimi, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is running in theaters now.
