With just a few weeks ahead from the release date of the new movie, there is still a lot of uncertainty regarding what is actually going to happen in the film. A Marvel movie has never had that many amount of rumors. Not even with Spiderman: No way home (where everybody was trying to guess if Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would show up as their respective Spiderman versions on it). Here we are going to give it a look at some of those rumors and things we would love to see happening in the sequel of Doctor Strange.
1- Wanda vs Strange
While it has been reported that the focus of this movie is going to be the conflict between the Scarlet Witch and the Supreme Sorcerer, it is not clear yet how is it going to happen or why none of the trailer has teased a real conflict between the two. However, we can be sure of one thing: if it happens it will be totally epic.
2-The illuminati
For those who do not know, The Illuminati were a secret group of the mightiest heroes from different existing superhero groups, such as the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and so on. Originally formed by Tony Stark in the comics, the idea was to unite all the existing super teams into one unit for larger threats facing Earth. It has been teased in the trailer that they will be there, and it could also mean the incorporation of the X-Men and the Fantastic 4 to the MCU.
3- Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
It may be a rumor, but the appearance of this character portrayed by Hugh Jackman as a cameo in the new Marvel movie would something that Marvel fans would love to see. Even though it is not clear yet if that rumor is true, how cool would it be to see Wolverine team up with Doctor Strange and other superheroes against a multiversal threat?
4- Iron Man variant?
As the creator of the Illuminati group and the opening of the multiverse it is now a possibility that we get to see Iron Man one more time after his tragic death. There has been rumors that point to a version of Iron Man from another universe appearing in the movie, and portrayed by Tom Cruise (who was considered for the role at the beginning of the MCU). This would certainty be crazy. Would you prefer to see this new version of the superhero or would you prefer the legendary Robert Downey Jr making an appearance in this movie? Can you imagine the theatres blowing up if this actually happened?
5- Deaths, many many deaths.
The MCU can be said to be almost perfect (not like the DC universe which I will do a post about soon), but if there is something that most of his movies is missing is the sense of actual danger. We want to see the heroes going through their limits, we want to see actual possibilities of some of them dying. Not many MCU movies have given me this kind of sense (like Captain America 2, Avengers: Age of Ultron or Avengers: Endgame did). It almost feel like even if they are not winning at some point, our heroes have everything under control. This movie is apparently going to show "many deaths" and with the quantity of rumored characters appearing, those deaths could be very very impactful if played well. Could you imagine Wanda Maximof fighting Charles Xavier from the X-Men and resulting in the death of this one? How hard would that hit? We will just have to wait a little more to see if all this hype is deserved.
Let me know in the comments what other things you would like to see in this movie!
