As expected, the Super Bowl LVI that was held last morning from February 13 to 14 left us a good number of movie trailers and television series. And in the case of the former, that of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” stands out, which with its second video advances us a little more in some of the plots that we can enjoy in theaters from May 6.
The multiverse has gone mad
We are all clear that the multiverse has been unleashed. Since what happened in the last chapters of the Loki series , the Marvel universe has taken a brutal turn in which dozens of plot branches will begin to mix that were either closed or were waiting to be revived in a future. moment like the one that promises us that it will arrive with the second Doctor Strange movie (Strange for a somewhat more chariot generation).
The fact is that if you’ve seen this second trailer, it’s very possible that you’ve missed some things, not so much because you don’t know the twists and turns of the plot and lore of the Marvel universe, but because of the speed with which the images and that make it very difficult to know what we are seeing. So we are going to reveal some little secrets that have become evident over the hours.
Wong, Illuminatis, Scarlet Witch, Professor X…
Although in Loki it is clear that the multiverse is unleashed, it is even more so with what happened in Spider-Man No Way Home where the famous spell that tries to make humanity forget who Peter Parker is fails. Wong, as you may remember, warns him of the danger of using it . Well, in this second trailer it is possible to see the monk scold Doctor Strange for what he has messed up. And reason is not lacking.
The Illuminati also seem to be in this new film and in the trailer they are not seen as such, although there are moments when it seems that they could be crouching there: especially when Baron Mordo seems to stop Strange. That’s when a voice is heard saying “We should tell him the truth.” Without a doubt, one of the biggest cliffhangers of the entire video.
Professor X is another one who seems to have a place in the new movie. Played by Patrick Stewart in Fox productions in the early 2000s, his arrival in the Marvel universe would be the starting signal for the X-Men to finally get that deserved spot that all fans expect them to occupy in the next years.
Variants and more variants
Special mention deserve the variants of the protagonists. That The Scarlet Witch was going to be in the movie was known since the end of Wandavision , but with the arrival of this trailer it is clear that we will have clashes between different versions of the same character because of the multiverse. In the purest Street Fighter 2 style , we will live a Wanda Maximoff vs. Scarlet Witch, or a Doctor Strange vs. Defensor Strange.
The truth is that the unknowns are high because in the case of Wanda, her status as a Nexo character makes it difficult to imagine how it is possible for her to face a different version of herself , but therein lies the magic of the open door around of the multiverse: we can expect almost anything as long as it has a reasonable explanation (Tom Cruise’s Ironman and all). Hence, the trailer has also left us clues of the presence of Captain Marvel or the avenging America Chavez (Does Miss America sound familiar to you?).
