DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Promo Features New Footage Of America Chavez In Action

Another international TV spot for Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been shared online, and this latest promo for Sam Raimi's mind-bending sequel packs in quite a bit of new footage.

Up until now, we haven't really seen (or heard) very much from new MCU recruit America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), but the reality-hopping hero gets the spotlight here as she takes the (former) Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Cumberbatch) on a little trip through the multiverse.

A scene with Chavez, who is expected to be portrayed as an openly gay character, mentioning her "two moms" resulted in Saudi Arabia effectively banning Doctor Strange 2 when Disney refused to cut/edit the exchange. They may still relent, but we can't see it happening after a similar situation arose with Eternals last year.

In Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the MCU unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its boundaries further than ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, with Michael Stühlbarg, and Rachel McAdams. The film is directed by Sam Raimi, and Kevin Feige is the producer. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Eric Hauserman Carroll and Jamie Christopher serve as executive producers. The screenplay was written by Michael Waldron.

The Doctor Strange sequel releases in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2022.

Wait, she is lesbian, AND her moms also are? oh, boy, I dont know if they realise they are not giving the message they originally intended...

@Waddles - For decades, homophobic groups were against gay couples adopting because "they will turn children gay", which is absolutely ridiculous and absurd, so, America being a lesbian raised by a lesbian couple, sounds like an homophonic stereotype...which I'm sure wasnt the intention, but it does looks like it.

@Waddles - I would understand if part of the LGBT community gets offended, this is an offensive stereotype.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 4/28/2022, 12:56 PM
@Waddles - But it would be understable if black people gets offended by that, you know what I mean?
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 4/28/2022, 1:13 PM
@Waddles - I agree, lets see how they do it.

@TheHumanSpider2 - not really. I'm black. I wouldn't be offended

@TheHumanSpider2 - How about we just don't try to find reasons to get outraged yet again? Maybe we could just not view everything through a culture war lense. Maybe we can have minority characters that don't constantly have to clear extra bars in order to send perfect messages.

Everything can be seen as offensive if you just try hard enough. And I'm sure the usual suspects will throw their usual hissy fits over America Chavez as they always do. But I would argue that the only people who would do that aren't really worth listening to anyway. Because at the end of the day it's just a different way of getting angry over a gay character being gay.

@Waddles - Is it just me or does it get increasingly harder to differentiate between bigoted outrage and progressive outrage?
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 4/28/2022, 2:34 PM
@Drace24 - Outrage is outrage.
However, "progresive outrage" would be understandable in this case, imo.

Drace24 - 4/28/2022, 2:43 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - Well, what's currently understood as "progressive" anyways. Which feels more and more like bigotry with extra steps and a woke paintjob.

This actually quite nails it:

Dang. Dr Strange gotta be a babysitter back to back movies lol

@KWilly - In my city, they started putting up posters for this movie, and I was suprised to see how not only is Wanda prompted as big as Stephen, but she is also on the left side...if it wasnt for the title, you would think this is a Scarlet Witch movie, not a Dr Strange one.
And then you have posters like these where Dr Strange is not even in it!



I think Wanda is a lot more popular than we though she was.
I dont mind, her arc so far has been great, and Lizzy earned it, but...poor Strange, lol

@KWilly - It's about to push him to make the Strange Academy, and have Wong lead it.

At least, that's my dream!
