Sam Rami to direct Dr Strange 2

[Nerys Myk]

The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards an alternate Ancient One as a possibility if he's not Xavier. That just seems like exactly the kind of role he would play.

I think they might shy away from casting another European as the Ancient One.

 

[JD]

Yeah, that's probably the one biggest point against that idea. But if you were going to cast a male version of Tilda Swinton, it would make sense to go with a white British guy.

 

[StCoop]

Kevin Feige has already said they were wrong not to cast an Asian actor in that role while ensuring they avoided stereotyping the character.

I don't see how anyone can read that quote from Patrick Stewart talking about how Xavier has come back from the dead before and still think he's playing anyone else.

 

[JD]

Oh, I must have misread that, because I just thought he'd said Xavier was dead.

My dream post credit scene for this film, is a shot of the X-Mansion and then zoom in to see Professor X (McAvoy) in a wheelchair. He raises his hand to his head and thinks "To me my X-Men" Then we see some shadow out of focus shapes move towards him.

As much as I love the Fox movies, I'm kind of hoping once the X-Men become a regular presence in the MCU that they start over from scratch. I'd like to see their own take on the characters, rather than just continuing what Fox did.
If they want to include the Fox movies as part of the multiverse, like they might be doing here, I'm fine with that, but I'd still like to see a new version of the team too.
I saw the trailer in the theater in front of The Batman yesterday, and was surprised to see it's Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness, this whole time I thought it was Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness.

So it seems they're still shooting the movie, two months before it's due to be released.

Still time to add in that Nicholas Hammond cameo that NWH lacked...

 

[CaptainWacky]

Adding Squirrel Girl foreshadowing.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

And Miles Morales cameo!

IGN has posted an article covering some of the new details revealed in the big Empire magazine article.
Apparently America Chavez's arrival, with her being chased by Gargantos, the one eyed tentacle monster in the trailer, is apparently what sets off all of the multiversal madness.
We'll also being seeing variants of Christine, Mordo, and Wong.
One of the producers confirmed that we will be seeing a 2D animated world.

[The Nth Doctor]

Ah, if only it were true...

...or maybe it's a double bluff!

 

[JD]

At first I thought maybe he's a Dr. Strange variant, and then I remembered what day it is.

 

[thribs]

April 2nd?

 

[JD]

It's the 1st for me.

 

[Saul]

April 2nd?

Time Zones. April 1st lasts for 2-3 days in the internet world.

A mini-trailer has been released to announce that tickets go on sale on Wednesday which gives us the best look at whoever is in the Superior Iron Man armour.

 

[thribs]

Do you think that’s Tom Cruise?

 

[Samurai8472]

I thought the current rumor was Lashana Lynch?

 

[StCoop]

It's a white man, so...
