The photos portray very closely the four protagonists of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange 2 is certainly the most anticipated cinecomic of the year, which has the arduous task of putting an order in the newly born Marvel Multiverse.
On the occasion of the now imminent release - scheduled for May 6 and in the United States for May 6 - the production house has released four new photos coming directly from the film and which portray, very closely, the main protagonists: Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Scarlet Witch \ Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), Wong (Benedict Wong) and new entry America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez).
In the cast - in addition to the stars just mentioned - Chiwetel, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams. Since this is a work based on the Multiverse, the appearances of many other heroes are expected - or hypothesized - coming from any angle told in the cinecomics taken from the Marvel comics.
The film, directed by Sam Raimi - father of the modern concept of "cinecomic" with his Spider-Man trilogy - will sanction the horror drift of the MCU, with Doctor Strange intent on fixing the "mess" combined in Spider-Man: No Way Home and to fight with its evil variant, which appeared in the animated series What If? To help the Sorcerer will be Wanda - retired from the world after the Westview disaster - and America Chavez, able to travel between alternative realities and therefore explain to Strange the complex dynamics of the Multiverse.
The Doctor Strange sequel has undergone several date postponements, finally landing on May 4 - the date on which no major competitors from other distribution companies will be released. It is also one of the few upcoming films to include new characters in the MCU, likely to be part of the New Avengers.
The task of presenting new protagonists has in fact been left to the TV series - only in 2022 will three shows with unreleased heroes be released, Moon Knight (March 30), Ms. Marvel (June 8), and She-Hulk (whose release date is yet to be defined).
