Doctor Strange 2: Tony Stark’s Ultron Plan Worked On Earth-838 Confirmed
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness producer Richie Palmer confirms Tony Stark’s Ultron plan worked on Earth-838. With a script by Loki creator Michael Waldron, director Sam Raimi’s Multiverse of Madness features many callbacks to previous Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.

Partway through Multiverse of Madness, Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) escape their Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) on Earth-616 and land in the seemingly Utopian universe Earth-838. There, they’re arrested and escorted by Ultron sentries before the Illuminati: a secret society of superheroes consisting of Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), Maria Rambeau/Captain Marvel (Lashana Lynch), Black Bolt (Anson Mount), Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), and Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic (John Krasinski). Fans long theorized that the “good” Ultron bots seen in its trailer signified Tony Stark/Iron Man was an Illuminati member. While neither Robert Downey Jr. nor Tom Cruise appear in the film, Multiverse of Madness’ producer has confirmed a suspected connection between Earth-838 and the events of Age of Ultron—which sees Tony fail to put a “suit of armor around the world.”
