Leading up to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' release, Bruce Campbell teased Marvel fans about his role in the film on social media, including an April Fool's posting on him as a Doctor Strange Variant.

The trippy 2020 movie "Palm Springs" stars Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg as a maid of honor and wedding guest, respectively, who hook up, only to get trapped in a time loop. This popular animated series by Dan Harmon ("Community") and Justin Roiland follows the mad (and usually intoxicated) scientist Rick and his grandson Morty as they go on adventures across the multiverse with the aid of Rick's inventions. That's more reason to check out "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" now. In late April, a new TV commercial for "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" featured an apparent flash of Peggy Carter's Union Jack shield from the comics (and a certain episode of "What If..."). The ad fueled speculation that the Carter character will play a role in the new film. Turns out "Spider-Man: No Way Home" wasn't Spidey's first time at the multiverse rodeo.

Disney+ confirmed when in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness occurred.

This is why it's odd that Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and now Doctor Strange have never referenced it; but hopefully, that timeline issue will be resolved in future stories. If this proves to be the case, this means Multiverse of Madness happened before Peter Parker moved into that New York City apartment and took a swing in his new suit through the snow. Dane Whitman, as well as others, saw this happen. However, now knowing that Multiverse of Madness happened before Hawkeye raises a few questions. Even though the MCU is deep into Phase 4, Marvel series and big-screen films aren't always released in chronological order. - Ant-Man

Disney+ revealed today that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film to join the streaming platform in IMAX ...

In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Stephen must explore multiple dimensions to prevent a powerful villain from conquering the entire universe. With Ms. Marvel still going strong after three episodes, the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Disney+ release should also give hardcore fans some more means to pass the time before the next MCU secret is revealed. Love or hate Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it’s impossible to ignore that Raimi is a filmmaker with a beautiful personal style, which he gladly brought to the MCU. So, having 26% more of Raimi is a good enough reason to watch (or rewatch) Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on Disney+.

But even though the latest Spider-Man movie preceded Strange in theaters by almost five months, Doctor Strange will be streaming on Disney Plus weeks before No ...

But Disney's "windows" -- the period of time after a movie opens in theaters but before it starts streaming -- have been all over the map. Sony and Starz, on the other hand, have been locked in a deal struck years ago, before the pandemic sped up how quickly new films reach a streaming service. Even though the pandemic upended movie release traditions, Sony's deal with Starz still abides by those pre-pandemic standards. Almost immediately, Disney reimagined the service as an outlet to release big new movies. Each company can arrange to "borrow" the characters (and the actors who play them) from the other to be part of its own MCU films. So Starz will start streaming No Way Home on July 15.

Ritchie Palmer: "And swing you did. Those Jonathan Hickman Illuminati comics were some of the greatest comics ever written, I think those New Avengers comics ...

The Wasp is known as one of the first key members of the Avengers in Marvel Comics' history, having appeared alongside Ant-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk nearly 60 years ago. "Yeah, I think I watched Aliens and was just thinking about the way those Marines get massacred, and, yeah, I was glad it worked. Waldron then explained how, initially, the Wasp was included in a version of the Illuminati, although the other team members weren't revealed. Waldron: "I was just trying to get through the first draft of the script desperately in August of 2020. And I just thought, 'Well, why don't I take a swing and drop the Illuminati in there?'" This included another version of Bruce Campbell's post-credits scene as the Pizza Poppa and a deleted moment with Rachel McAdams' Christine Palmer that gave further depth to her history with Strange.

Commentary: As Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits Disney Plus, we're running the risk of the multiverse and fan-service cameos making ...

No Way Home showed there's a way to utilize fan-pleasing appearances to improve the storytelling and character-building experience. It's not just the MCU. Sony's Morbius teased the appearance of Spider-Man: Homecoming's Vulture (Michael Keaton) in commercials, but it ended up being a midcredits tease. The use of cameos is powerful. Then I thought back to the last time I felt this way, and it was another Marvel property. seeing Black Bolt's brain sort of pop made me cringe). But there was a feeling of emptiness that followed. It's what I had feared: The massive success of No Way Home, which brought back Spider-Men from two previous franchises, has set off a trend of multiverse-inspired cameos.

Pizza Poppa was played by Bruce Campbell in Sam Raimi's sequel, and he's back in a deleted scene you can watch here.

That’s when the Pizza Poppa is finally free to carry on with his life. The Digital release comes packaged with bonus features on Vudu, Fandango’s video-on-demand streaming service. Campbell makes a brief appearance as Pizza Poppa in the Doctor Strange sequel, who exists in another universe entirely.

A sly allusion to X-men '97 has surfaced in the closed captions of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Indeed, a rendition of the X-Men: The Animated Series theme is heard when Charles appears on-screen, but according to the official closed captions provided by Disney+, it's meant as a bit of an Easter egg. It is on Earth-838 that Strange and Chavez are apprehended by the Illuminati, a "meeting-of-the-minds" style team of superheroes who convene to make decisions that shape the fate of their world. It's called X-Men '97 and it actually has a connection to Doctor Strange 2.

Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), aka The Wasp, could have appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Marvel Studios. Marvel's ...

Waldron continued: "Yeah, I think I watched Aliens and was just thinking about the way those Marines get massacred, and, yeah, I was glad it worked. And I just thought, 'Well, why don't I take a swing and drop the Illuminati in there?'" head writer Michael Waldron said ( via The Direct). Didn't really have a second half of the second act and had no idea where the hell I was going.

The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is now on Disney+. Here's what you need to know before diving into the multiverse!

Even if Thor’s half-brother Loki makes no appearance in Multiverse of Madness, the show does connect to the movie by introducing multiverses. Both Multiverse of Madness and Loki share a head writer in Michael Waldron, but Marvel resisted the temptation to force a connection between the two properties. In the process, she consumes Agatha’s dark magic, becoming the imperious Scarlet Witch. The series ends with Westview freed and Agatha seemingly destroyed, but with Wanda retreating to the mystical Mount Wundagore, where she uses her Scarlet Witch form to study a book of evil called the Darkhold. Although we all saw Vision die in Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision begins with not only the synthezoid alive and married to Wanda Maximoff, but the couple appears to be living in a black and white sitcom. Multiverse of Madness is the 28th feature film in the franchise, and that’s not counting numerous one-shots and television specials. Mere weeks after it debuted in theaters, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hit Disney+ on June 22.

Aside from liking and loving the film, the only true and worthwhile bonus feature is the Audio Commentary Track featuring Sam Raimi, Michael Waldron, and Richie Palmer. If commentary tracks are your thing, then purchasing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on digital is the best way to go. The Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness home media release comes with three featurettes, three deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and a commentary track with Sam Raimi, Micahel Waldron, and Richie Palmer. The upsetting part is that aside from the commentary track, the rest of the features can easily be found online. The commentary track is a must for MCU film nerds, or anyone looking for creative inspiration. However, if you’re the type to watch the bonus features of home media releases, then that’s another story. Dr. Strange and America Chavez’s universe-hopping adventure to escape the Scarlet Witch is now streaming on Disney+! When it is so easily accessible to watch the film, what is the best way to watch it? Chances are, if you’re a Marvel fan, you already have Disney+ because of the MCU shows.

I don't want to spoil his identity, but his name rhymes with "Mizza Moppa."

When the MCU’s Strange tells Pizza Poppa to back off, the Poppa gets ready to squirt mustard on what he believes is an imposter and a thief, only for Strange to magically cause Poppa to squirt the mustard in his own face and then begin punching himself in the face... But in his jaunt through the multiverse, Strange managed to create a new foe—one that might test him to his limits. If you’ve seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, you know the Marvel hero faces a bevy of villains—Gargantos the tentacle monster, the mentally unbalanced Scarlet Witch, and even an extremely evil version of himself.

Daniel Craig almost appeared in Doctor Strange 2 and it's easy to see why fans are taking about it. Major spoilers for Doctor Strange 2 ahead.

That tweet contained a GIF of Craig, implying that he was the actor. However, it turns out that we almost had one more, as it was recently revealed that James Bond star Daniel Craig almost appeared in the film too. Would you have liked to see Daniel Craig play a version of Mr. Fantastic or Balder the Brave in the MCU? Let us know in the comments below! Major spoilers for Doctor Strange 2 ahead. In response to the news that Daniel Craig almost made a cameo appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, digital artist BossLogic took to social media to share an incredible image, imagining what Daniel Craig could have looked like as Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic. And just to make it all the more of a “What If…?” scenario, digital artist Boss Logic has given us an idea of what he could have looked like.

Marvel Studios has officially released Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on the Disney+ streaming service today and fans are already gushing about ...

The multiverse isn't just a MacGuffin where we're like, 'Okay, this is just a kitschy thing that we're playing with in this movie.' If you're faced with alternate realities and with alternate versions of yourself that has to become the emotional heart, exploring who you might be if you were a different version of yourself, if you made other choices, the right choices or the wrong choices. During a previous interview with SFX Magazine, the Loki and Doctor Strange scribe detailed how Marvel Studios use of the multiverse could become a double-edged sword. But the opportunity in the multiverse is to have characters confront literal 'What ifs?' and alternate versions of themselves and perhaps others in their lives. Michael Waldron, who wrote both Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Loki, recently detailed what he believes is a major concern with Marvel Studios' use of the multiverse. Theron is being set up for future appearances due to Stephen Strange creating an incursion after his use of the Book of the Damned aka the Darkhold. It's for certain that Strange will return in a future film, but now Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that he hopes to finish his trilogy. I would love to do another one," Cumberbatch told New Indian Express. "Doctor Strange is such a complex character and it feels like there is so much more to explore with him.

A breakdown of every character that was cut from Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

For instance, eliminating the additional Variant of Wong and Christine likely led to a tighter film and one that focused more on Strange, Wanda, and America Chavez. The fact that the film went in a different direction is actually a good thing. While Derickson never got the chance to actually shoot his Doctor Strange sequel, the concept of dreams did play a role in Raimi's take on the film. However, a deleted Doctor Strange 2 scene confirmed that her heel turn was supposed to be conveyed even earlier. It's unclear why Wasp didn't make it past the first draft, but it could have been due to scheduling issues with getting Lilly in for filming. Still, there is evidence to suggest that a Loki cameo had been in the works. Writer Michael Waldron revealed on the film's commentary track that Hope Van Dyne's Wasp was originally part of the Illuminati roster. Evangeline Lilly's character was also supposed to fight Wanda too, coming at the Scarlet Witch in full, pint-sized, force. “It did change a little bit from what I was originally told, [which was] that it would be three different versions, and we wound up with two different versions in the end. Surprisingly, this member of Earth-838's secret society wasn't just considered in concept art or first drafts of the script. In addition to Rachel McAdam's Christine Palmer, Benedict Wong's Wong, and Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez, the former Sorcerer Supreme also shared the Doctor Strange 2 spotlight with Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, fresh off of her own solo project, WandaVision. In addition to playing Earth-616's version of Strange's love interest who marries someone else, McAdams also played a Variant of Christine on Earth-838.

The Scarlet Witch massacred a number of characters throughout the runtime of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, especially during the Illuminati ...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is streaming on Disney+ now, and Thor: Love and Thunder will hit theaters on July 8th. The Illuminati’s role in Doctor Strange 2 was a rollercoaster for hardcore fans, who had been waiting and theorizing over this moment. Ouch. While The Wasp is still young in her superhero career, it would have definitely been sad to see her get so unceremoniously squished by Scarlet Witch in the Doctor Strange sequel. The same fate also came to beloved returning actors like Patrick Stewart and Hayley Atwell as Professor X and Captain Carter respectively. But it turns out that a number of heroes were floated around to join that team, including Evangeline Lilly’s Wasp. On the audio commentary for Doctor Strange 2, (via The Direct) writer Michael Waldron opened up about the grisly death that would have followed the microscopic hero if she made it into the movie, saying: Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a wild ride so far, with filmmakers making bold narrative swings on both the small and silver screens.

This means Multiverse of Madness includes a few gory moments where a villainous Wanda aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) gets rid of almost everyone in her ...

In the film's first draft, a version of Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) was supposed to be among Wanda's victims. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is streaming now on Disney+. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers follow.

Led by director Sam Raimi, he's joined by writer Michael Waldron and producer Richie Palmer as the three break down the movie, giving insight to a lot of ...

At one point, Waldron had a different reveal for the ending of the movie. And there's a funny story where Charlie actually has the prop of the fork from Army of Darkness that he brought to set that day… They changed it around for a few reasons, one of which was so the story of Strange vs. The scene didn't build tension or raise the stakes, so it was cut. It's the fork that the tiny Ash's use on real Ash's butt. This character is essentially the personification of law--more importantly, multiversal law. That was Raimi's idea as he said, "Get me a leg on a broom!" The movie's writer, Michael Waldron played the best man in the wedding scene, but most of his scenes were cut, according to him on commentary. "Yeah, we like update with images from some of the more recent Disney+ series and movies and make sure that it's always up-to-date with some of the coolest images from our movies," explained producer Richie Palmer. "This one, we did something special. Movies Anywhere hooked us up with a code of the movie for this coverage. However, it also arrived on various digital retailers available for purchase, and with purchase, you actually get access to the audio commentary for the movie. I think it was Sam [Raimi] and Bob Murawski, our editor, and Kevin [Feige] came together and said, 'You know, we should do something special for Doctor Strange and put in more images of Doctor Strange and Wanda in there than we've ever seen before.
