“The Multiverse is life or death,” Stephen Strange is heard saying in a new trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the sequel serves as a continuation of the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where the stability of the universe was severely affected following the botched spell that summoned the arachnids and villains of past franchises.

The trailer shows a bit more about the conversation between Doctor Strange (Cumberbatch) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). “We can take the help of an Avenger,” he tells her, to which she replies, “There are other Avengers.” 

The sorcerer promises that they will soon return from this mission and convinces her to join this adventure that will address the chaos in the Multiverse. Later on, Scarlet Witch is shown fighting alongside Wong (Benedict Wong) against unknown forces.

Likewise, Chiwetel Ejiofor can be seen back as Baron Mordo and who would be Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) using powers very similar to those of Captain Marvel. Xochitl Gomez, the 15-year-old actress, also makes an appearance as America Chavez, the member of the Young Avengers who will mark her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
