“Dr. Strange 2”: Why are There so Many Expectations?

The release of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” was a real success because it was the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to incorporate characters from past Sony productions. However, it may be nothing compared to what we will see in “Dr. Strange 2: Into the Multiverse of Madness.

From here on out, just about anything is possible, as all those superheroes and antagonists who weren’t part of the MCU may now have a cameo in this sequel.

Everything we know about “Dr. Strange 2”

The trailer for “Dr. Strange 2” drove all the fans crazy. The first thing to mention is that Marvel commented that this film would be the first “100% horror” production of the franchise. For this, they decided to bring back a dedicated director, who is none other than Sam Raimi himself, a specialist in this genre.

This director is considered by many fans as the creator of the best superhero saga in history. We are talking about the adaptation of Spider-Man by Tobey Maguire, who not only told a story faithful to the comics but also managed to give an artistic stamp on the Marvel saga.

Now, it will not only be a film with artistic criteria different from everything we have seen so far. Actually, the ambition of the plot, added to the possible fan service, makes this film one of the most anticipated of 2022.

As for the theories, it is said that the charismatic Deadpool, a popular character played by Ryan Reynolds in individual Sony films, could appear in this new film. Even many fans consider that there are certain indications that can be found in the official posters and that confirm this appearance.

Also, there is the possibility of the return of the X-Men. The trailer for the sorcerer sequel reveals the appearance of Professor X, played again by the legend of Patrick Stewart, who promises to “tell the truth” to Dr. Strange.

In this sense, they could join, either as allies or as villains, Dr. Strange’s team in this film. Hugh Jackman is rumored to make a cameo appearance as Wolverine in this film, leading the versions of the X-Men.

There would also be a surprise that will excite fans: the return of Iron Man, but this time played by another actor. We refer to Tom Cruise, who could become the Superior Iron Man, an alternative version of this character so loved by fans.

In fact, many consider that an alternative version of The Avengers could appear. As for the alternate versions, it is expected to see an iconic character from the animated series “What If”: Supreme Strange, an evil alter-ego of Dr. Strange.

The zombies of the series could also appear since in the official poster there is a zombified image of the protagonist. In the same way, it was confirmed that Xochitl Gomez will appear as America Chavez and that Captain Carter will also be there, which was another of the star appearances of “What If”.

All this shows that “Dr. Strange 2” will be the most ambitious movie in all of Marvel, even more than “Spider-Man: No Way Home”. It will be necessary to see how they will integrate so many appearances in the same plot, but it is clear that Strange’s decision to open the doors to the Multiverse will have great consequences in the franchise. The film will be released on May 6 this year.
