Doctor Strange enlists the help of Scarlet Witch to investigate the Multiverse

The article reveals that apparently due to America Chavez and Gargantos making their way to the MCU, that it causes Doctor Strange to investigate the Multiverse further where he enlists the aid of the Scarlet Witch.

For Strange, who is still troubled by the dalliance he had with the Multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home, America leads him to investigate further. “He is very aware that he must not allow Multiversal episodes like we experienced in No Way Home,” says Raimi, “because he saw how dangerous they were.” Turning to the only other person whom he knows might have knowledge of this Multiverse malarkey, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) , Strange and AMerica are then propelled through a vast array of different worlds. A straing in a stranger land, he comes face-to-face with variants of Wanda, his old friend-turned-foe Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Wong, his old flame Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams), and even himself.

The article goes on to explain the three different versions of Doctor Strange, which have been seen in merchandise and promo art: Sinister Strange, The Defenders Strange, and a zombified Strange, with it said there are likely to be at least one or two more.

“There are some very bold ideas, and some extraordinary tests of Strange and encounters,” says Cumberbatch. “There are some very unexpected conclusions. It’s fascinating to explore what would happen if there was an alternate reality that you could visit and all the mess that might ensue.”
