Synopsis Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
The trailer, which was uploaded to Marvel Entertainment's YouTube, opens with a monologue from Stephen Strange, who is plagued by the same dream every night after the events of No Way Home. Reporting from the Techradar page, this film will invite the audience to focus on the multiverse or multiuniverse and follow the journey of Dr. Strange who is continuing his research on the time stone.
His research will be interrupted by enemy threats, one of which is Mordo. WandaVision villain Agatha Harkness hints that the Red Witch will "destroy the world".
Meanwhile, Scarlet Witch needs Strange to team up with other super-powered creatures to overcome the enemy. They were obviously about to join forces with Chavez, Wong, Rintrah, and the other mages, but it seemed like they needed more help to stop someone as strong as the Crimson Witch.
It's possible that when Strange enlists Wanda's help in tackling the multiverse, he uses his forbidden magic which will only make matters worse and spread chaos.
