Unleashing Unprecedented Magic: A Triumphant Alliance to Rescue the Multiverse in Doctor Strange 3 Fan Poster

Summary

A fan poster for Doctor Strange 3 featuring three Sorcerer Supremes suggests a multiversal mission in the MCU, tying into Avengers: Secret Wars.

Doctor Strange has become increasingly significant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, indicating that he will have a significant part in Avengers: Secret Wars. Speculations imply that Doctor Strange 3 will incorporate the "Time Runs Out" narrative from Marvel Comics, serving as a precursor to Avengers: Secret Wars.

A stunning fan poster shared on Instagram by digital artist @bensolo_cup showcases three Sorcerer Supremes taking part in a multiversal mission in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Doctor Strange 3. Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange has increasingly become a pivotal character within the MCU, and following his encounter with the multiverse in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the third installment of Doctor Strange's story will focus on the mission set up by the post-credits scene of the previous film: putting an end to incursions.

The three Sorcerer Supremes in question are Cumberbatch's Strange himself, who is currently not the MCU's Sorcerer Supreme; Benedict Wong's Wong, the active Sorcerer Supreme of the MCU; and Charlize Theron's Clea, who becomes the Sorcerer Supreme of the Dark Dimension in the comics and could go on a similar path in the MCU. The Doctor Strange 3 fan poster envisions the trio tackling incursions, the threat that will ultimately lead to Avengers: Secret Wars.

What We Know About Doctor Strange 3 So Far

Marvel Studios has not yet officially confirmed the existence of Doctor Strange 3. It may take a considerable amount of time for this confirmation to be made due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. These strikes have resulted in the delay of numerous Marvel movies and TV shows. With a significant number of projects waiting to resume filming or start production, it is likely that Doctor Strange 3 will be delayed for several years. Despite the uncertainty in Hollywood, rumors have begun circulating about the development of Doctor Strange 3 and what the movie might entail.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness established Cumberbatch's pivotal role in the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars. Clea approached Doctor Strange for assistance in preventing a collision between two universes known as an incursion, which he had caused. Avengers: Secret Wars will showcase Marvel superheroes from various dimensions coming together to halt incursions, connecting back to Doctor Strange's recent appearance in the MCU. A recent rumor suggests that Doctor Strange 3 will serve as a prelude to Avengers: Secret Wars by adapting the "Time Runs Out" storyline from the Marvel Comics.

In this storyline, the Illuminati, who were introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with a multiversal version, were pursued by the Avengers for destroying another world while trying to save the primary Marvel universe from an incursion. The two teams eventually unite when the destruction of their universe becomes inevitable, ultimately leading to the incursion featured in the 2015 "Secret Wars" event. By incorporating the "Time Runs Out" storyline, Doctor Strange 3 has the potential to serve as the equivalent of the Multiverse Saga finale in the comics for Avengers: Secret Wars in the MCU.
