Marvel Studios Canada may have jumped the gun in releasing this TV spot for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness featuring new footage of Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and the first look at Captain Carter, a multiverse variant. Added, another teasing glimpse of Professor X (Patrick Stewart) was also revealed in the 10-second teaser and even confirmed the character’s iconic hoverchair.
Earlier this week, MCU fans were astounded after Marvel confirmed the inclusion of the Illuminati, the secret organization in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse TV spot. Now, the new brief teaser shows two new variants namely Captain Carter, widely reported to be played by Hayley Atwell and Lashana lynch’s Monica Rambeau as Captain Marvel. The short promo only offers a quick look and Carter’s appearance is only confirmed by the symbol on her shield and she’s gotten a jetpack of sorts backing her up as well.
The rest of the teaser shows one of the Illuminati members, Professor X, coming in a yellow hoverchair, similar to the interpretation in Marvel comics and the X-Men animated series. “We will see what kind of Doctor Strange you are,” says Charles Xavier to Stephen (Benedict Cumberbatch) standing in face of the council.
Fan reactions for Captain Carter have been mixed with some praising the character’s return after debuting in Disney Plus What If…? series. But others are disappointed that Falcon and the Winter Soldier star Anthony Mackie hasn’t had the chance to reprise his Captain America yet. Though in the case of the X-Men mutant leader, the fandom’s sheer excitement can clearly be seen in the tweets below.

The continual benching of Sam Wilson as Captain America in favor of promoting Captain Carter in the MCU is so exhausting

Some fans were even left theorizing if John Krasinski could be playing Mr. Fantastic from the 90s animated series.
If Patrick Stewart is playing the Professor X variant from the '95 X-Men animated series, what if John Krasinski is playing the Mr. Fantastic variant from the 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/MJmaNrxmnI

Some people should stop being stupid… It's in the title of the movie. It's gonna be a multiverse story so of course alternate universe variants will come into play. Captain Carter is not replacing the main MCU Captain America. Sam Wilson is Captain America no matter what. 👹💀 pic.twitter.com/nemzjCtJhp

Captain Carter’s involvement was initially hinted in one of the Doctor Strange 2 posters. The promotional material contained several other elements suggesting cameos of other Fox’s Marvel characters like Deadpool etc. It remains to be seen who else could surprise fans when Multiverse of Madness hits theatres on May 6, 2022.
