Elizabeth Olsen Never Met Doctor Strange 2's Illuminati Cast
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Elizabeth Olsen reveals she never met two significant members of the Illuminati while filming Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Following the events of WandaVision, Olsen makes her return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Sam Raimi’s Multiverse of Madness, and this time, she emerges as the true Scarlet Witch. Unfortunately for Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Wanda Maximoff has been corrupted by the Darkhold/Book of the Damned and wants America Chavez’s (Xochitl Gomez) universe-jumping power so that she can be with her children.
Scarlet Witch being a true villain is far from Multiverse of Madness’ only surprise. In the film, Strange escapes to Earth-838 and is brought before the Illuminati, a group of heroes consisting of Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), Maria Rambeau/Captain Marvel (Lashana Lynch), Black Bolt (Anson Mount), Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic (John Krasinski), and Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart). Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t take long for Earth-616’s Scarlet Witch to dream walk, possess the body of 838’s Wanda, and attack the Illuminati base, brutally murdering pretty much every member of the superhero team in the process.
