Surprise New Characters Will Debut In Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness promises to expand the horizons of the MCU at a crucial time. That’s because, over the next decade or so, the MCU will have to stretch to accommodate a lot of new IP. Not only have Disney and Sony Pictures apparently inked a deal to allow their own Marvel universe to cross over with the MCU, but Marvel Studios are hard at work figuring out how to best incorporate the X-Men and Fantastic Four.

It seems we may get to see some answers for the latter in the aforementioned Multiverse of Madness as well. Kevin Feige recently spoke with students at the New York Film Academy, where he dropped some pretty strong hints about big surprises in store for the good Doctor:

“Sometimes you’re choosing the title hero, choosing which main character or main team you want to bring to the screen and often times, it’s as you’re making and developing the movie [asking] ‘Who will come into it?’ and ‘Who will fit into it? “The next Doctor Strange film, for instance, features some new MCU characters which will be making their debut in that movie you won’t expect or won’t guess who it is but we found a cool way to make it work because we want to make a particular type of movie there and there was a character who we always wanted to do something with who will fit really well there.”

So, who on Earth could he be talking about? Well, mentioning “new MCU characters” covers a wide range of possibilities, whether they be ones the studio’s owned the rights to for a long time or ones they’ve just acquired. As such, there’s an outside chance we might see Doctor Strange villains Shuma-Gorath or Blackheart – both baddies with extra-dimensional qualities that haven’t yet been seen. But who (other than Marvel vs. Capcom fans) is going to get excited about them?

Perhaps more likely is that this fits in with what our sources have told us about Deadpool’s arrival in the MCU. Word is that Doctor Strange will visit a number of alternate universes on his journey through the multiverse, with one of them being Fox’s X-Universe. Here’s we’d see cameos from a few characters, one of whom’s lined up to be the Merc.

We did just get confirmation that Marvel Studios are working on Deadpool 3, after all, so they definitely are in need of a “cool way to make it work” to get Reynolds’ hero in the MCU. Or, it could be something that no one predicts, and if you’ve got any guesses of your own, be sure to let us know in the comments section below.

Avengers: Endgame Fans Spot New Back To The Future Easter Egg

The Back to the Future films come up more than once in the dialogue of Avengers: Endgame, mostly as an example of the kind of time travel logic that Anthony and Joe Russo’s movie seeks to avoid.

The first references come in the scene where Scott Lang approaches Tony Stark with his initial idea for a “Time Heist.” The two “rules of time travel” listed by Ant-Man – no talking to your past self, and no betting on sporting events – seem directly inspired by 1989’s Back to the Future Part II, before Iron Man mentions the franchise by name when he asks:

“Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on Back to the Future?”

The reference comes back a little later when Scott hears how time travel actually works in the MCU, and realizes that the Robert Zemeckis sci-fi movies are “a bunch of bullshit.” But if a new video shared by Reddit user Malechite (check it out via the link below) is anything to go by, then Endgame also features a subtler nod to the second Back to the Future much later in the film.

The opening third of Back to the Future Part II sees Marty McFly journey to the then-futuristic year of 2015, where he sees a cinema advertising a screening of Jaws 19 on “HOLOMAX.” Towering above the movie theater is a cartoonish hologram of the infamous shark himself, who bends down to take a bite out of Marty before disintegrating into nothing.

Now, jumping ahead to the climax of Endgame, there’s a moment after Tony Stark snaps his fingers where we see a rather shark-like Chitauri Leviathan swooping down towards Rocket. But just when it looks like the creature has Rocket in its mouth, it suddenly turns to dust.

Given the film’s more obvious references to Back to the Future, it’s easy to believe that the callback was intentional, suggesting that while Avengers: Endgame may reject the time travel logic of the movies, it still takes some inspiration from Doc and McFly’s adventures.
