Doctor Strange 2: Scarlet Witch's Illuminati Scene Inspired By Aliens
WARNING! Spoilers for Doctor Strange 2 below.
The writer of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reveals how the 1986 sci-fi classic Aliens inspired the brutal fight scene between the Illuminati and Scarlet Witch. Multiverse of Madness marked the 28th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and served as a sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange. The film follows the titular character as he is forced to protect a teenager named America Chavez, who possesses the special and highly-coveted ability to travel through the multiverse. With Scarlet Witch wanting these powers for herself, Doctor Strange 2 sees Wanda chase America through the multiverse so she can use America's powers to reunite with her children.
Conversely, the story of James Cameron's Alien follow-up stars Sigourney Weaver as the iconic Ellen Ripley and centers around a group of marines as they, with the help of Ripley, investigate a colony following a loss of contact. However, even the battle-hardened veterans with the latest weaponry are no match for the aliens that have invaded the colony as they get picked off one by one. This is quite similar to Wanda's own attack on the headquarters of the Illuminati on Earth-838. Doctor Strange 2 sees Scarlet Witch wipe out the entire group (including John Krasinski's Reed Richards, Patrick Stuart's Professor X, Lashana Lynch's Captain Marvel, Hayley Atwell's Captain Carter, and Anson Mount's Black Bolt) in brutal fashion.
