Clea Is Doctor Strange's New MCU Love Interest, Confirms Multiverse Writer
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron explains the movie's post-credits scene character. The Doctor Strange sequel is fresh off its stellar opening weekend in which it made $450 million at the worldwide box office, the fourth-highest opening for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Multiverse of Madness sees director Sam Raimi make his highly-anticipated return to the Marvel fold following the original Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, though Raimi seems to have drawn more from his work on acclaimed horror films like the Evil Dead trilogy for his MCU debut with Multiverse of Madness.
In what has now become a common tradition for new Marvel movies, Doctor Strange 2 features two credits scenes, one that plays during the middle of the credits and the other at the end. While the post-credits scene is merely a joke involving Raimi movie regular Bruce Campbell, the Multiverse of Madness mid-credits scene introduces a new important character and is clearly setting up a future Doctor Strange story. After years of rumors and fan-castings as Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, Charlize Theron has finally joined the MCU as Clea.
