‘Doctor Strange In the Multiverse Of Madness’ – New details On America Chavez, Scarlet Witch And All The Doctor Stranges

There are a ton of new details out about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness thanks to a new article in Empire Magazine. Here are the big takeaways.

How does America Chavez fit into the story?

Helping Strange movie through it is a brand-new addition to the MCU: America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a young girl who has the power to switch between parallel universes. Finding herself chased by mysterious creatures intent on siphoning off her power and using it for their own nefarious ends, America arrives in our universe, pursued, as the trailers suggest, by a one-eyed, tentacled superbastard called Gargantos. Just in time for Strange to save her with the aid of his boss, Bendedict Wong’s Wong, who is actually the Sorcer Supreme of the MCU. “I call it Phase Wong,” laughs Wong of his run of recent appearances in Marvel movies, starting with Shang-Chi and the Legend Of The Ten Rings. “It’s a nice, interesting shift. Wong has taken on a new role, and that dynamic change between them both.”

What is Wanda’s role in this big adventure?

For Strange, who is still troubled by the dalliance he had with the Multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home, America leads him to investigate further. “He is very aware that he must not allow Multiversal episodes like we experienced in No Way Home,” says Raimi, “because he saw how dangerous they were.” Turning to the only other person whom he knows might have knowledge of this Multiverse malarkey, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) , Strange and America are then propelled through a vast array of different worlds. A stranger in a stranger land, he comes face-to-face with variants of Wanda, his old friend-turned-foe Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Wong, his old flame Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams), and even himself.

How many Stephen Stranges does it take to make a Multiverse story?
