DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Will See The Title Hero "At The Height Of His Powers"

Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron has shared some intriguing details about where we find the Sorcerer Supreme when his sequel begins. Read on for details...

Doctor Strange made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2016, but he's been through a lot in the years that have followed. Thor: Ragnarok made it clear the Sorcerer Supreme has mastered his powers, and we really saw him come into his own in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame

Now, all eyes are on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness; that movie promises to be a game-changer for the character as he's joined by the Scarlet Witch and America Chavez on a trip through the Multiverse created in the closing moments of Loki's season finale last month. 

During a recent interview with Geek Vibes Podcast, Loki Head writer Michael Waldron - who also penned the screenplay for the Doctor Strange sequel - teased a big step forward for Stephen Strange.

"I think that Stephen Strange has been through so much between that first movie and now," the writer explains. "That first movie was an incredible origin story of how he became a sorcerer, but now he's been through that. He's fought Thanos and he's on the other end of it, and he's kind of at the height of his powers. So it's an interesting place to catch up with him."

If you're familiar with Doctor Strange's comic book adventures, you'll likely know that the MCU has only really scraped the surface of what the hero can do. Marvel Studios embracing that power in this movie is an exciting prospect, though it might speak more to the Scarlet Witch's powers.

Remember, WandaVision made it clear that she's even mightier than the Sorcerer Supreme himself...

After seeing him in Infinity War, I already kinda assumed that. There was such a power difference between that and his first solo outing, that it would be weird if this movie gives Strange a similar power set to that 2016 movie.

O.T Waititi’s latest comment about Thor love and thunder
(Unless this Is old??)

"Well, just between me and you and the readers, I've done some crazy shit in my life. I've lived, like, ten lifetimes. But it's the craziest film I've ever done. If you wrote down all the elements of this film, it shouldn't make sense. It's almost like it shouldn't be made. If you walked into a room and said, 'I want this and this and this.' Who's in it? These people. What are you going to call it? Love And Thunder. I mean, you'd never work again. Maybe I won't after this."

@manofillintent1 - It's old.

@Unites - ah, thought I heard him say something similar but didn’t remember this exact quote

I revisited doctor strange last month and I still think the script is solid, does lack some solid action scenes with strange though

On one hand, this makes me really excited for the movie. On the other, doesn’t it sort of imply that his powers will decline (or at least be maintained) in future installments?
Origame
Origame - 8/1/2021, 7:05 AM
@WeaponXCII - no, this is just hyping up the movie. Basically what they're saying is he's more powerful than ever. In other movies, he's gonna find new avenues for power, especially since he's now gonna be exposed to the dark hold and the multiverse.

@Origame - That seems like a better interpretation. I had a feeling that I was reading it the wrong way.

I'm really hoping this means they finally put the names of the spells on the screen when he cast them

@OmegaDaGrodd - why? This generates discussion among us, nerds.

@MadThanos - .....because that's how it looks in the comics and would be a nice visual element to make the action scenes even more dynamic

Infinity War Strange was a real treat

In terms of Doctor Strange appearances, I'd rank them as follows:
1. Infinity War
2. Doctor Strange
3. Thor: Ragnarok
4. Endgame

@MasterMix - boring ass. All we he saw him do was hold the water up in endgame. Should’ve frozen it or something. Didn’t he manipulate the elements in infinity war? Smh

@Mrtoke - When did he manipulate the elements?

You know, there's a plot hole in Infinity War. Why Strange asked Stark if he could drive them home? He had the Sling Ring.

Aside from that, Doctor Strange was the MVP of Infinity War. Went toe to toe against Thanos with 5 Infinity Stones and never used the Eye Of Agamotto (because Thanos already had the Space Stone).

@MadThanos - I don't think he can sling ring his way from planet to planet...at least not yet!
MadThanos
MadThanos - 8/1/2021, 7:44 AM
@LongMayHeReign - wow I only thought that he did just that in Endgame.

And Wong, a much less capable sorcerer created gigantic portals in Endgame.
LongMayHeReign
LongMayHeReign - 8/1/2021, 8:33 AM
@MadThanos - I mean he made all those portals but I think everyone he transported was on earth at the time he brought them to the battle right?

I mean the only notable exception was Howard the Duck if I'm remembering correctly.

@rexlincoln - Yup you're 100% right! I realized this way after the fact. Smh
