The messy Marvel Cinematic Multiverse is about to come back below some new administration… or somewhat, new managers are about to be revealed within the upcoming Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness. Because as this latest teaser for the movie has revealed, the erstwhile Sorcerer Supreme is about to be hauled in entrance of the Illuminati for his rampant reality-tampering.
The Illuminati, if you happen to’re unaware, is/was a secret council within the Marvel Comics universe comprised of Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Professor X, Namor the King of Atlantis, Black Bolt the King of the Inhumans, and Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, who have been stealthily working collectively to “mold and shape the status of the superhuman world and the world around it,” in line with Marvel’s official bio page for the group (Black Panther was invited to affix, however declined), after the occasions of the Kree-Skrull War. The rumors that the Illuminati can be part of Multiverse of Madness erupted when Patrick Stewart’s distinctive voice was heard within the film’s final full trailer, main followers to suspect the actor can be reprising his position as Professor X from the (now Disney-owned) X-Men film franchise. This is sort of definitely true, now that this teaser has confirmed the Illuminati are actual:
They additionally appear to be in command of governing the multiverse, except Marvel Studios goes to retcon the X-Men films into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which appears extremely unlikely (certainly they’d need a clear mutant film slate, though because of multiverse shenanigans Stewart might once more play Professor X within the new films, simply as J.Okay. Simmons returned as J. Jonah Jameson within the Spider-Man films). But how the Illuminati do or don’t mesh with Kang, the opposite man who appointed himself in command of the multiverse within the Loki TV sequence, will certainly require a solution.
Still, the larger query is, who else will probably be a part of the Illuminati? Because it will possibly’t simply be Xavier sitting up there. Will Robert Downey Jr. come again to play a Tony Stark from one other actuality, or will another person step in? Those are Ultron-esque bots main Strange to the council, in spite of everything. Might Anson Mount from the Inhumans miniseries make an look? Hopefully not, as a result of Inhumans stays the very worst MCU-adjacent thing Marvel has ever made, and in spite of everything, he’s busy commanding the Enterprise. Could the film introduce Namor or Mister Fantastic, or will different characters fill their seats? Will somebody aside from a white man/inhuman make the minimize?
We will discover out very shortly, as Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness premieres on May 6. Oh, and simply because there are a number of empty chairs within the teaser doesn’t imply they received’t be full within the film; keep in mind, Marvel has a behavior of photoshopping characters out of promo materials they wish to preserve secret…
