A new trailer for Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, debuted during Sunday’s Super Bowl. Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, and Chiwetel Ejiofor return as Doctor Strange, alongside newcomers Xochitl Gomez (as America Chavez), Michael Stuhlbarg (as Dr. Nicodemus West), and Elizabeth Olsen (as Dr. Nicodemus West) (reprising her role as Wanda Maximoff from other MCU productions). The first trailer for the forthcoming film was released in December, and now we get a new look at it.
With the possibility of a universe collapse looms, Strange continues to cope with the implications of decisions he’s made earlier in the series in the trailer. We show Strange in handcuffs, presumably facing judgment for his decisions, concluding with a mystery figure (who sounds very similar to Patrick Stewart) stating “we should give him the truth.” We also get a better look at Gomez’s America Chavez, a battle between Strange and Ejiofor’s Mordo, an evil version of Strange, and more information about Wanda’s involvement in the Strange sequel.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, directed by original Spider-Man trilogy filmmaker Sam Raimi (who replaced Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson) and written by Loki showrunner Michael Waldron (who replaced Jade Halley Bartlett), will be released in theaters on May 6, 2022.
