In less than ten days, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will land in our theaters. To celebrate this, Marvel gives us a new trailer full of surprises. Professor Xavier of the X-Men in the game?
The X-Men finally in the MCU?
Even though The Walt Disney Company had acquired the Marvel brand in 2009 to obtain the rights to Iron Man, Captain America and many others, certain characters, including the X-Men, belonged to an entirely different company: 20th Century Fox. Since the giant with big ears bought this studio in 2019, the X-Men can finally be exploited. It would seem that Disney is having a great time since the X-Men are on the way to joining the MCU according to the latest rumors. Besides, a certain Professor Xavier more or less made an appearance in the very latest Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer, the Marvel film expected for May 4 in our region.
The trailer released four days ago already revealed a lot, but the latest trailer for Doctor Strange 2 unveiled just a few minutes ago goes into overdrive. Indeed, in this last video, Strange, always camped by Benedict Cumberbatch, is escorted by Ultron drones in a courtroom which contains six chairs. On one of them, we can see Baron Mordo and on another Professor Xavier who, according to various rumors, would once once more be played by Patrick Stewart (X-Men, Logan…). This means that the various X-Men might also return to center stage in future MCU productions.
The Illuminati, an association of superheroes
But finally, this new trailer goes even further, since Baron Mordo also formalizes the presence of the Illuminati, a secret society made up of many great heroes including Charles Xavier of course, but also Mr. Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic 4. It might therefore be that this other character appears in this Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, especially since a Fantastic 4 film is already planned. Its filming will begin in 2023.
As a reminder, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is expected for May 4. It is directed by Sam Raimi, the director to whom we owe the Evil Dead saga, but also the first Spider-Man trilogy in cinema. In addition to Benedict Cumberbatch, note that we will also find Elizabeth Olsen in the role of Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff or even Xochitl Gomez, a young actress who we have already seen in the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home by Jon Watts.
