Welcome back to new breakdown article i'm techno junction and this is a breakdown of the latest trailer for marvel's doctor strange in the multiverse of madness which assures us i will always be there old friend check me we are getting an mcu illuminati lineup including patrick stewart charles xavier what is this movie i gotta admit i've outdone myself on this one folks analyzing this trailer frame by frame for details i don't think anyone else is insane enough to see or to talk about and uh yeah i'm also gonna include some stuff in the tv spot version of the trailer and clues in the official poster and thanks to true bill for sponsoring today's video more on them later let's get started every night i dreamed the same dream then so the trailer opens in strange's nightmare a frightening hellscape covered in bones and skulls dead trees bent askew and in front of him a representation of the sanctum sanctorum melting into inky nothingness like the other new york buildings
we saw in the first trailer all evoking the comic book ink melting of reality and what if episode 4 except that this isn't exactly strange's sanctum it's significantly thinner than we last saw in spider-man no way home and it is one floor taller the effect is a more gaunt structure like a croaking haunted hotel what was his healthy sanctum fortress is now a withering skeleton of itself and notice in the sky is a glowing red eye reminding us of course of the red edges of wanda maximoff's hex reality and one division this whole nightmare could be being projected into strange's mind by the scarlet witch since the commercials in wanda vision were confirmed to be messages from strange to wanda these two share a psychic link now this strange has a patch of blue sewn into the cloak of levitation an inverse of the red patch on blue of defender strange who saves america chavez in a second blue versus red seems to be an important point of contrast in this film strange
has been shifted from his normal red tones to blue tone along with a lot of the settings in this to signal passivity all to contrast wanda maximoff's red chaos and violence now on the other side of the sanctum doors there's a reverse shot of strange's entrance from the first trailer now we see how the stormy sea has claimed the whole sanctum structure saved for the central staircase which now extends up and up and up into nowhere like a trick luring one to heaven except it's not it goes into this hellish red eye and at the base of the staircase these weren't there the pastimes we saw the sanctum now these two statues one male one female both bearing torches may be representing the maximoff twins then a teacup shatters on the ground behind it looks like the wheel of an old wheelchair now this isn't exactly the wheelchair professor x from the x-men films but i suspect a lot is going to be changing for whatever cameos show up in this film then america chavez gets strung up in front of a star portal which if you look closely opens up to endless more star portals within that portal this is our best known power to kick open these star-shaped portals we might actually be seeing the origin of our powers right here we actually saw the same setting in the first trailer i think it is her home reality the utopian parallel in the comics the utopian parallel faces destruction from black holes so her mothers sacrificed themselves their particles dispersing throughout the multiverse and the creature attacking her here maybe go with me on this the demiurge who is the embodiment of earth's sentient life in the comics the original source of her powers and we should mention is one final form of billy kaplan wiccan wanda maximov's son which could be how this film ties the fate of wanda and her sons to that of american chavez then again the demiurge hasn't really been shown to be this hostile and demonic actually another possibility here this
entity's ribbony appearance like glowing electrical tape could connect to strange's spell the crimson bands of citrax which he used to restrain thanos and infinity war which could make this fella maybe citrac himself now the tv shot actually showed in this moment an alternate defender doctor strange hair tied back in a ponytail with stripes saving america chavez from this thing using what looks like a three-dimensional version of strange's normal flat eldritch magic to hold off the entity which would then lead to the shot we see in this trailer of that same ponytail doctor strange tumbling through a star portal a shot that flips upside down to find us back with our doctor strange in bed but is it our doctor strange because his hands are fully healed when in past films strange's hands are always meant to be forever scarred and weak there's an ipad left open on his bed coffee filters into test tubes on his nightstand strange said in this part of the trailer that he has
the same dream every night hell sanctum his alternate self saving a kid and then the nightmare begins so the nightmare might be this reality that he wakes up into a reality where he never became a sorcerer he never injured his hands and really just aged into a lonely douchebag falling asleep with its pornhub tab still open moving on the nightmare begins i did what i had to do now when strange says the nightmare begins we should also acknowledge the possibility that the demonic entity nightmare could be the villain of this film as this idea was floated by the original director scott derrickson the marvel studios title card turns purple and has tentacles snaking across the letters evoking the limbs of gargantos but also one of the multi-limbed creatures and what if which this movie seems to be showing the live-action versions of in fact on the poster for this film in the lower right corner one broken shard of glass shows the shield of captain carter hinting that
haley atwell may show up in this film as a live-action version of that character then dr strange conjures these red orbs if you look closely they are coming from the dark hole on the floor there that's marvel lore's book of the damn that appeared on wanovision first in agatha's possession before it was claimed by wanda that's why the magic he conjures is now red like wanda's chaos magic as we saw her conjuring in that final wanda vision scene we could be seen a depiction of the various universes being connected in this movie with dr strange trying to locate one world in particular and in the foreground of that shot that looks like that is one of maximoff standing there with him but then strange suddenly afraid slams all this magic back into the book as if he's trying to hide it from the person in the room with him and on that page you can see a triangle perhaps a symbol of marvel's illuminati a location he wants to hide from wanda maximov for reasons i'll get to
later as we move on to protect our world you can control everything strange you open the doorway between universes and we don't know who or what will walk through it so strange argues that he did what he had to do to protect our world our world as in his actions saved his universe at the expense of all other universes strange used the time stone to give his universe an improper advantage to undo thanos's snap and more recently he used his magic of the runes of cough call to basically gaslight and warp society into a whole bunch of plot holes mordo warned us about this that when strange would push the laws of reality like this the bill comes due always and like strange in that what-if universe bypassing an absolute point this strange's reality has begun to melt the same exact way and opened itself up to interdimensional threats we see a new look at this melting from the rooftop individual bricks breaking off cars floating in that blizzard headlights still shining
now the melting of the buildings here seems to merge into these black strands reminding us of the ancient one's dark branch timeline that she warned bruce banner about an endgame and here it's not just that reality is melting into nothing but that chaos is spinning into one beneficiary destination on to the next clip wanda what do you know about the multiverse this had his theories he believed it was dangerous he was right so we see scarlet witch once again holding the seance in the comartaj courtyard we know that's where it is because you can tell from the statues behind her in the floor beneath her the same tiling that we see beneath that minotaur sorcerer later we get a better look of him in this trailer this is rantra from the comics but yes the scarlet witch is probably the one attacking kamertage because actually in the tv spot the sorcerers in that courtyard race their shields to some floating figure overhead i'm pretty sure that is wanda now compared
to her look at the end of wanda vision during the seance her scarlet witch wardrobe has evolved her sleeves now cover her arms fully and darker tones streak through her chest piece and her tiara also as we pointed out before the tips of her fingers are black similar to agatha's fingers when she would use dark magic and i like this right as we hear strange say wanda a shock wave blows out from her body now in her orchard if that is what it really is wanna tell strange that vision had theories about the multiverse that was dangerous so despite vision warning wanda she still created an alternate reality in that westview hex and now continues to peer through alternate universes to find her children and yes this peaceful orchard with sheep is probably an illusion because later in the trailer as wanda points out the double standard of strange breaking the rules and him getting to be a hero strange is wearing the same outfit as he is here in the orchard suggesting that
wanda is actually in a much darker place in this moment both in her mindset and in her literal surroundings moving on i'm sorry stephen your desecration of reality will not go unpunished so strange brings america chavez and christine palmer to the ruins of what i think is utopian parallel and christine wears this sleek blue outfit and that's because this might actually be an alternate christine palmer whom strange found working at illuminati hq because the tv spot reveals christine in these clothes plus a white lab coat in their detainment sector then mordo or perhaps an alternate version of mordo that might actually be sorcerer supreme from his native reality detain strange using these nifty love the design of these because it's a mix of analog sorcerer machinery with runes engraved into that spinning lock in the middle but overall they have this chunky silver chrome of something more futuristic something that might be connected to the vibranium tech of
these ultron sentries ultron centuries who escort dr strange in this awesome location that looks like a supreme court hall of justice you see four kneeling winged statues and then a warrior with a sword in a ring the way a certain multiversal warrior captain carter emerged from a circular portal with her sword in hand now this whole interior the glass ceiling the curved staircases the classic columns is actually the interior of the british museum in london a place i've been to many times i love the british museum it's famous for having the rosetta stone one of the earliest artifacts that anthropologists have used to translate and decode cross-reference old languages which is super fitting for charles xavier to model his multiversal nexus point on such a cultural touchstone now assuming this is illuminati hq i find it fascinating the parallels between this and the citadel of he who remains in loki which also had a lit tower inner columns and four statues in its
central chamber one of which was mysteriously destroyed we never got an answer to what that was all about now there are six chairs on the illuminati panel but we only see three members in this trailer could kang have been a fourth member of the illuminati who was cast out leading to him constructing his own crude imitation of the illuminati citadel a citadel and a sham judicial bureaucracy of his own run by three puppets it's just a theory now if you're keeping your fingers crossed that the beanie baby collection in your mom's attic is going to regain its value and all of your money concerns will be gone our friends at truebill are here to help take some of the pressure off of claude the crab and patty the platypus truebill is an all-in-one finance platform that helps you save more and spend less the personal finance manager allows you to manage subscriptions lower bills monitor your credit score and build your savings all in one place i really like how easy

the illuminati now marvel's illuminati is a secret alliance of tony stark charles xavier reed richards doctor strange black bolt and namor black panther was initially gonna be part of it but he backed out actually in iron man 2 tony stark had a little app on his phone labeled illuminati fun little easter egg there but here the illuminati if they will still go by that name in the mcu seem to be serving as a multiversal governing body with representatives from across universes by bringing fox x-men characters into this they're building on the metal logic from spider-man no way home marvel studios is now adopting formerly separate cinematic universes as mere universes within their multiverse and expanding to the fox x-men titles but if patrick stewart is a representative from a separate reality that could limit how much of that separate reality we actually see in this movie and which other fox x-men cameo just yet like ian mckellen magneto hugh jackman wolverine
maybe maybe not but ryan reynolds deadpool very likely as he has been long confirmed to cross over to the mcu and now that door has been opened i mean this could also give us some context finally to why evan peters was cast as wanda's brother pietro in her hex now yes the show producers did say this is just a ralph boner joke but the logic is all in place now we never saw ralph after wanda's hex so it could just be as simple as wanda's ability to warp reality might have caused her to pull the likeness of a pietro from the nearest adjacent universe like if tom holland peter parker were to die in the mcu and juan maximoff wanted to create a pocket reality where peter was alive once more the peter in that hex might look like andrew garfield if that makes sense to you evan peters actually being pietro from his fox x-men timeline crossing over into juan division could make an equal amount of sense now meanwhile i don't know if this is the charles xavier from the exact
fox x-men timeline whatever that was at the end of that series because one thing that was clear is that charles xavier died in the year 2029 in logan after it was revealed he accidentally killed all the x-men or most of them i think it's likelier that this charles could be from a branch timeline within that universe because time travel screwed up a lot of stuff there let's be honest he actually could be something closer to a live-action version of the x-men 97 a version of charles xavier that existed in the branch timeline that eventually discovered multiversal technology now yes there are six chairs so let's try to fill these chairs who they belong to two of the figures are seated and one walks in with a cane so i'm wondering if this could be charles who in this form has found his ability to walk once more now the seated figure on the left wears a form-fitting suit that you could say looks a lot like the vibranium armor of black panther and yes this illuminati
lineup may include a new actor playing a variant t'challa however i think this particular figure just looks a bit more slender in the arms like reed richards but that would also make it less likely to be john krasinski yeah let's be honest he's jacked ryan but let's slide over to that other seated figure who is hooded could this be sorcerer supreme mordo or all reality photon or spectrum monica rambo or were those ultron centuries a clue that one member of this panel is actually ultron infinity from what if or that brilliant ship of theseus white vision from one division but my favorite version of this would be this could be a reality in which tony stark's ultron protocol actually succeeded instead of turning on him which led to him being able to evolve into the superior iron man one played by tom cruise i mean we've heard this speculation for years and now it just seems all possible doesn't it but let's focus on what charles actually says here we should tell him
the truth what truth the truth that strange maybe didn't do anything wrong or that him becoming a sorcerer was a mistake or that all of this is just some kang exposed sham organization perhaps but i think the truth here is that the mcu that we have loved all these years is not the core reality of this multiverse that instead we have actually been living in an incomplete post house of m reality where mutants have been erased this whole time we just didn't see it as anything wrong and now it is time to fix that let's move on [Music] things just got out of hand okay some real bonkers here doctor strange and american chavez fall through a reality with dinosaurs a t-rex fight a triceratops but then to top that they insanely smash into an animated cartoon reality this could be one way doors open to crossovers with what if this can actually be how the animated captain carter gets roped into this then strange in america explode into cubic puzzle pieces a visual that
looks like a mix of draxes reality stone hit and infinity war and joe quesada's art of the scarlet witch on the house of them variant cover some of their blocks look like stones from a statue and you can actually see the rows of steven's individual teeth still intact in his gums on each block onto the next clip [Music] you break the rules look up become a hero i do it i become the enemy so yeah it looks like wanda will invade illuminati hq and get into a huge brawl with someone who looks like they're going binary the way captain marvel does but if you look at that person closely this is a woman of color now i know some of you think this is tom cruise with a goatee but that's just a contouring of her cheeks tom cruise's figure is not this womanly folks this is definitely either monica rambo or her mother maria rambo maria rambo's call sign was photon and in the main mcu she died of cancer during the blip but in one of vision monica rambo powered up into the
superhero we assume will either be photon or spectrum and the moment that happened her body was split into several alternate selves as she passed through that hex wall and i think one of those alternate selves could be this one we are seeing now if you think about it monica fighting wanda seems to be the most epic collision considering these two were both there for the battle of west view in wanovision then we see the attack on camertaj in the tea room that we saw in the 2016 film including master hamir returning from that film then a close-up of america chavez gives a good look at her wardrobe stars embroidered on her jean jacket along with the phrase amores amore love is love and flag pen signaling some lgbtq plus representation gargantos throws the bus with an ad on the end for la llave coffee the key with the tagline unlock a better day and then over to the left the phone booth has an ad for celestial tea the magic of tea then i love this shot strange looks up at
another alternate sanctum with a statue out front a statue that has no facial hair though in this new york greenery and oddly curved wind turbines cover all the buildings and white flowering trees line the streets trees like the ones in wanda's fake orchard so in strange's nightmare we saw the darkest timeline here this looks like the brightest timeline where a variant strange has used his powers only to better society moving on that doesn't seem fair [Music] okay so interesting two wandas meet each other and this is wanda's west view house in one division you can see two scooters in the background belonging to her sons billy and tommy one of their baseball gloves on the floor there but this place is wrecked the staircase handrail the blusters are broken as if there was a fight between these two wandas and the standing one is the one who is barefoot yacht i actually wonder if this kneeling wanda tried to recreate the west view hex to have her children once more but
failed and now defeated she's letting the darker side of her identity take over if you think about it the last time we saw her in one vision her consciousness was split into two conscious selves something people who astrally project normally can't do there was one in casual wear brewing tea and then the other one in the scarlet witch forum searching for her kids actively now i'm wondering which of those two is actually the deadlier threat the one who's searching for her kids or the one who's just sipping tea not giving up can we see that shot again of morto striking strange's cuffs now i'm wondering if mortar might be doing this on purpose to freeze strange so that strange can help them fight this invading scarlet witch but it might be too late because a huge explosion from red chaos magic tears through the hq leading to these elaborate fireworks as we think rambo's form gets blasted through that explosion then this other sorcerer uses a sick move with a lasso to
attack gargantos the tv spot actually showed american chavez beneath this gross underbelly and in these close-ups so you can see how each of its tentacle suckers are actually barbed with teeth ugh then this gnarly shot of wanda aiming red chaos magic she's at the doorway of illuminati hq her face is bleeding like crazy and separately she has black ink stains on her shirt behind her in the distance looks like one of the bells of camartage perhaps after sacking that location and holding her seance there she used that to access the gateway to this compound but why does she want to get in here well when the camera zooms into her eye there's a brief image of two holding cells these are illuminati detention cells dr strange was cuffed in one of these and in the tv spot christine palmer works among other techs who hold america in another cell so i think the reason wanda hasn't been able to find a reality with their sons the reason why her attempt to recreate west view
didn't work is that the illuminati are detaining billy and tommy here in these two cells and for wanda that's especially infuriating because it's exactly what hydra did to her and her twin brother locking them up in adjacent cells like in the comic house of m all of this madness comes from a denial by professor x and by doctor strange to allow wanda reality with her children and it's gonna end with wanda drastically warping all that reality but in this case i think a restoration of mutants alongside avengers in the mcu on to the final clips so we end with a version of doctor strange and wong on this snowy mountaintop trying to reign in these demonic figures these beans look like they're actually made of the same inky texture that the buildings and the other surfaces are melting into as if this is the chaos that it's all bleeding into now the tv spot actually shows strange facing another peak across the way with some winged devil at the peak of it that
spot also shows a close-up of strange whose face is rotting away looking a lot like his zombie strange self and what if episode v i pointed out because the tv spot also includes a shot of wanda looking especially zombie-like now while zombie strange and that episode got devoured by ants zombie wanda survived and she returned in the final episode so i don't know if these are zombies as much as they're just animated corpses but it is insane to see their souls so strong that they can keep their bodies intact long after their flesh should have expired the final shot shows this rotting strange blocking a rift into darkness dozens of inky skeletons trying to shove out past him skeleton arms fan out behind him evoking the images of icon pose that he formed when fighting thanos infinity war now counteracting that spell was the one time we saw the soul stone being used in the mcu and i find it interesting that strange's soul is all he has left the film title comes together from hundreds of pieces like the shattering and reassembling shards of reality in this movie but this is the third title design we've seen it's almost like the studio wants us to constantly reframe the reality in which we see this movie every time they talk about it so folks you've got to check out our new merch options including two sick mephisto designs at new rockstarsmerch.com follow me on instagram and twitter at you boss follow new rockstars subscribe to rockstars for more analysis of everything you love thank you...
