Marvel Studios released the second trailer of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness during Super Bowl LVI here on Sunday (U.S. Pacific Time).
The trailer, according to ‘Variety’, presents new secrets, including glimpses of Elizabeth Olsen’s character of Scarlet Witch potentially breaking bad, and a brief audio cameo from what sounded very much like Patrick Stewart reviving his role as Professor X from the X-Men series.
The first stand-alone sequel to Doctor Strange, the film follows the Sorcerer Supreme’s efforts to deal with the aftermath of the multiverse-a distorting spell that he had cast in Spider-Man: No Way Home, a dangerous move resulting in villains from across the multiverse bleeding into the central Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
The film is also set after the events that occur in WandaVision and Loki and portrays Doctor Strange teaming up with Wanda Maximoff.
Multiverse of Madness also stars Benedict Wong as Wong, Rachel McAdams as
Dr Christine Palmer and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo. Xochitl Gomez is set to make her MCU debut as America Chavez with the film, which is directed by Sam Raimi.
The script for the film has been written by Michael Waldron and Jade Halley Bartlett. The film will arrive in theatres on May 6 after a year-long delay due to the
Covid-19 pandemic. (IANS)
