Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

At the end of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” Strange emerges from his sanctum with a brand-new third eye on his forehead, a clear sign that the Darkhold’s influence has begun to take a toll on him. This suggests that he may now be vulnerable to Wanda or other dark entities, possibly setting up further conflicts. As for Wanda, she is not truly dead; her fate lies in her own hands—her dark magic and her quest to reunite with her children haven’t been fully resolved. The ending hints that she remains a powerful threat in the multiverse, especially since she is depicted as the Scarlet Witch still capable of conjuring chaos.

The mid-credits scene introduces Clea, played by Charlize Theron, who in the comics is a significant character and love interest of Strange. She arrives through a portal, seeking his help with an “incursion,” which is a collision between parallel universes threatening destruction. Clea’s introduction is particularly noteworthy because her family is linked to Dormammu, a longstanding foe of Strange, being his sister. This sets the stage for future stories involving multiversal threats and mystical battles in the Dark Dimension. The scene hints that Strange’s adventures are far from over, potentially leading into major crossover events like “Secret Wars” or other multiverse crises, making clear that the story’s surprises only begin here. Wanda’s ongoing presence and the appearance of mystical characters suggest that the multiverse is more unstable than ever, leaving open the possibility for more conflicts and exploration of the mystical side of the MCU.
