Charlize Theron shared a sly reaction to her new role in the MCU after she appeared as Clea in the post-credits scene of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and her response has fans excited to her future in the franchise. The highly anticipated sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange and follow-up to 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home arrived in theaters this weekend to a slightly divisive if overall positive response. In Marvel's latest offering, Doctor Strange is sent on a mind-bending journey to protect America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) from Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), who hunts her down in order to take her power to travel through the multiverse.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has 2 credits scenes, the first of which unveiled a brand-new MCU character. Strange was approached on the street by Clea (Theron), a purple-clad enchantress who traveled from the Dark Dimension to ask Strange to help with an incursion that he caused. Viewers last saw the Dark Dimension on-screen in Doctor Strange, when the sorcerer outsmarted Dormammu in a time-loop to protect his world.

After assuring Clea that he wasn't afraid to tackle the task, Strange and his new third eye followed Clea through the portal into what will surely shape up to be another multiversal adventure.
