Doctor Strange Gets Tangled in the Mayhem of the Multiverse in His Sequel Film's Trailer

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues its quest into the multiverse in the next Doctor Strange film. On Dec. 22, Marvel Studios released the teaser trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — a sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange that finds Benedict Cumberbatch's character entangled in a world of mayhem after the multiverse is tampered with.

"The Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little," Sorcerer Supreme Wong (played by Benedict Wong) declares at the start of the trailer. In the clip, Strange joins forces with Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) — following the events that occurred in WandaVision — as they embark on a mission to learn more about the multiverse.

Prior to its official release, the mini trailer originally appears as a postcredits scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The latest Doctor Strange instalment picks up on the fallout that happens after Strange casts the spell that altered space and time. As a result, Strange also encounters the evil version of himself, Evil Strange, aka Strange Supreme, in the trailer.

Aside from Cumberbatch reprising his role, Doctor Strange 2 also marks the return of Dr. Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams) and Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor). America Chavez (played by Xochitl Gomez) also joins the new instalment as a newcomer. There's a whole lot of chaos happening in the next Strange movie, and we can't wait to see what else awaits us. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theatres on May 6, 2022. Watch the first teaser trailer above.
