Official IMDB casting inadvertently spoils surprises for the upcoming MCU film!
By Zan Haider
Sam Raimi’s Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness promises to explore the entire multiverse, and with the recent events within the MCU, this film aims to be among the most ambitious MCU films yet. With the literary convention of the “multiverse,” the MCU can now integrate famous Marvel properties and characters, explore stories from the past/other studios and incorporate those within the MCU, and/or bring famous actors to reprise iconic characters in a manner that fits with its cohesive storytelling (cough*Tobey*cough*Andrew*cough*). However, before we even encounter all of those endless possibilities, we should follow the events that have led to the creation and the madness of the multiverse.
Firstly, Wanda gained access to the Darkhold and peered out into the multiverse, heard the voices of her lost children, and promptly left her house in search of them.
Secondly, Loki fails at preventing his female variant, Sylvie, from killing He Who Remains, resulting in the growth of multiple Marvel timelines/universes.
Thirdly, Dr. Strange attempts to help Peter Parker in casting a spell that will preserve his secret identity, but this inadvertently breaks the multiverse and brings Spidey villains from every single (cinematic!) universe into the MCU.
Which brings us to MoM, and with it being poised as the culmination of the events of WandaVision, Loki, and No Way Home, this movie will have no shortage of surprising events and characters.
However, while Marvel is tight about security, they made a tiny mistake! On the MoM IMDb page, stunt doubles for Owen Wilson’s Mobius, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, and Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie are all listed. Curiously, Wilson, Hiddleston, and Di Martino are not listed as cast members for this film. While it’s possible that the stunt doubles simply got hired for a new job, I highly doubt Kevin Feige would hire those stunt doubles without utilizing Mobius, Loki, and Sylvie. Considering that Loki directly influences and correlates with the story of MoM, I think it's guaranteed that they are returning!

Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is appearing to be the most ambitious film yet– even more so than Spider-Man: No Way Home. Look at these leaked VFX pictures and tell me I’m not lying.
Oh yeah– your eyes aren’t seeing a Dr. Strange illusion. That’s Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff/Scarlett Witch fighting Patrick Stewart’s Professor X from the Bryan Singer X-Men films! And yes, those are Ultron drones, holding Strange hostage for an apparently devious Professor X (an evil variant of our favorite professor? Fingers crossed!), but look at the actual setting itself– is Professor X in Apocalypse’s lair??
Either way, Multiverse Of Madness will blow your minds. Coming May 2022!
