The ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Super Bowl Trailer Teased an Exciting Crossover

The trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been released, and it potentially teases a very exciting crossover.

The trailer sees Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) waking up from a nightmare and dealing with the ramifications of his spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home that resulted in the multiverse being opened up.

However, at around the 1:19 mark, someone’s voice can be heard saying: “You should tell him the truth” as an imprisoned Strange is brought in front of them. Now, we have no solid evidence to back it up, but it sounds to us a lot like Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), creator of the X-Men.

While we already knew Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff would feature in the Doctor Strange sequel, any appearance by Professor X hasn’t been confirmed.

Disney acquired 20th Century Fox and therefore the rights to X-Men in 2019, and fans thought they’d seen the first MCU/X-Men crossover when Evan Peters turned up as Quicksilver in WandaVision, although it turned out to be just an excellent piece of stunt casting.

Stewart has also previously spoken about the possibility of appearing in the MCU, saying back in 2020 that there had been “moves and suggestions, which include Charles Xavier” in conversations with Kevin Feige.

However, he did also say he felt his character’s arc in Logan “changed all that.” That said, a lot can change in a couple of years.

This Super Bowl trailer follows on from a first look at the movie, which debuted late last year and gave us our first glimpse at Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez as well as the return of Benedict Wong’s Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Mordo, and Rachel McAdams’ Christine Palmer. All are seen again in the new trailer.

Strange argues that his actions were necessary to protect “our world” – but Wong reminds him that he can’t control everything and there’s no knowing who might turn up from other worlds.
