Warning! Spoilers ahead for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Screen Rant's latest Pitch Meeting episode imagines how the idea for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' story was conceived. Marvel Studios' latest film brings back Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange as he ushers a brand new hero into the MCU in America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez). The pair teams up against Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) who embraces her Scarlet Witch destiny and has become a full-on villain.
Directed by Sam Raimi, who replaces originally helmer Scott Derrickson, with the story written by Loki's Michael Waldron, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness dives deep into the concept of the multiverse. The idea to further explore alternate realities is intriguing as it allows Marvel Studios to imagine how the Sacred Timeline differs from an endless number of other universes. It also allows the franchise to bring in several high-profile actors for cameos without affecting the Sacred Timeline's continuity, like Patrick Stewart's Professor X and John Krasinski's Mister Fantastic.
